Hamptons

The emphasis, of course, is on resort fashion and resort living. The design and antiques stores here are so exceptional and varied that many top decorators swear that they buy more furniture on the South Fork than in New York City. For an abbreviated list of shops, read Top Shopping Hamptons.
