Behind the Design: Hamptons Toile
Creative Living
by Jen Pinkston
If you’ve been a friend of the brand for awhile now, you already know that there is a story and meaning behind nearly all of our prints. Our Toile Collection is no exception. I love our city toile collection because of what it means to our community and how it allows people to tell their story through the places that they love and the memories they made there.
We spend so much time choosing the place, doing our own research, and then partnering with local residents before we ever embark on the toile design process in a new city. For our Hamptons Toile, each element featured was handpicked by Amy Griffin of G9 Ventures and Jessica Latham of Social Studies Party. Their creative perspective and love of the Hamptons is conveyed through the details of this city toile.
Feel the breeze, smell the saltwater, and taste the lobster rolls with our Hamptons Toile, now available in a new colorway for Summer 2024.

Commissioned by President George Washington in 1792, this historic lighthouse stands tall and picturesque on the easternmost point of Long Island, known as "The End of the World."

The Surf Lodge is the ultimate beach bungalow. Known for its delectable seafood tower and lobster roll, it’s one of the most exclusive places to see and be seen.
