“The goal was to create an environment that felt lived-in and collected,” shares Joan Enger of her Amagansett vacation home. And the designer didn’t have to travel far to ace that brief. Here, Enger, who is launching her own vintage shop, Galleri JP, this winter, shares her local treasure map.

Russ is one of the most knowledgeable dealers out East. His gallery has an extensive collection of artworks, many by Hamptons artists, as well as ceramics, accessories and furnishings.

My go-to for outdoor furniture, plants and planters. The staff are eager to create custom solutions, too.

Local designer Glenn Ban runs a shop out of his East Hampton studio filled with special pieces that reflect his timeless aesthetic. It is the chicest time capsule.
