Mecox Gardens has made its mark in the design community thoughout the country with coast to coast locations in Southampton, East Hampton, Manhattan, Palm Beach, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles.  I had visited the East Hampton, Manhattan and Palm Beach locations often but was very excited to finally see the large, flagship store in Southampton. 

Mecox Gardens is a must see and there is quite a lot to see.  The merchandise is divided among three areas: a beautiful garden, a covered barn-like structure and a three story house.  When walking through the garden, it’s tough not to be inspired to create your own!

One of my favorite shops on Southampton’s Main Street is this new arrival from March of 2010. Here you’ll find a mix of European and American mid-century pieces. The Anglophile vibe is a byproduct of representing the iconic English fabric line Bennison, and the custom crafting of all Lennegan and Marantz upholstery in England. The upholstery is beautifully made, traditional in style with attractive exposed, turned legs and use of dressmaker details like tufting, gimps and nailheads.



Bennison's "Injico Lace" fabric upholsteres the pair of slipper chairs.

Curb appeal! The matching begonias, lacquered front door and pink awning
all make for a very inviting entry to this chic shop.

At the astute recommendation of Southampton Architect John David Rose, I visited Old Town Crossing. Old Town Crossing offers two floors of European and Asian antiques as well as a unique assortment of new pieces, mirrors, lamps and accessories.  You will find Chinese lacquered etageres and coffee tables; French bamboo mirrors and end tables; statement pieces such as snake skin covered mirrors and iron console tables with stone tops.  The shop is well staffed with knowledgeable sales associates who are accustomed to working with interior designers.  They were quick to offer tear sheets on pieces as well as arrange for home delivery estimates.  I can’t wait to return with clients!
