Everything you need that you never knew you needed. That’s the easy way to describe the shop Love Adorned in Amagansett Square. The Hamptons outpost is an offshoot of the Elizabeth Street store by the same name, which is the off shoot of the popular tattoo parlor New York Adorned. It sounds more confusing than it really is. The hardest part of Love Adorned East End is dealing with the LIE on a Friday afternoon.
Another way to describe the summer-centric Love Adorned in Amagansett would be to say it is a sort of tribal Labour and Wait. That’s a strong compliment considering Labour and Wait is one of my top five favorite stores in the world.
Love Adorned is full of all sorts of interesting accessories and small items. It’s the perfect place to stop into if you want to spend an hour looking at a bunch of stuff you didn’t know existed, but want nonetheless. I spotted a few familiar brands in the mix, with stuff from RTH, Leather Head and Poler Stuff on offer. I also discovered a few brands I have never heard of – like the pricey but nice USA-made towels from Fresco. Granted, the prices are geared towards the well-heeled Hamptons set, but the shop is still worth a visit and a poke around. The merchandise in the East End has more of a beach slant than the Elizabeth Street store, but both have an interesting vibe and unique aesthetic. It is definitely worth an hour of your time between beach sessions. [Love Adorned East End]
I’m a sucker for bird calls.
best store ever!
Everything about this place is perfect, from the floors to the name!
I cannot wait to visit. So rad.
That’s a very nice looking store. A lot of thought was put into the design and presentation which of course is all very beautiful.
The gent, fifth picture down, looks great too.
All in all, beautifully done!
Bravo!
do most commenters on ACL just post something so they can provide a link to their blog?
Wow, great looking place!
Anthropologie should create a little men’s section with this stuff in it
How much were those Opinels in the knife cabinet going for? It’d be interesting to get a comparison, because you can find them online and in most stores for anywhere from 10-16 bucks.
that is a really nice place
Wow! You found a treasure here! I wish I could go there one day and browse through their stuff!
I love what you say about “Everything you need that you never knew you needed.”
If I happen to visit this store, even if I have no intention to buy anything in the first place, I will still end up buying something. The items are really nice.
What a beautiful little shop.
I love the sea salt soap!
Anyone know where I can get some of the soap?
Terrific write-up and spot on with the description. Love the “Oil Often” inscription.
I’m terribly enamored of the canvas and leather pocket sheaths in the picture with the orange handled shovels. Where (other than than Amagansett, since I won’t be able to make it anytime soon) can I find these?
Kalle,
You can get it from this amazing company called Kala. They have tons of great stuff.
