Through December, the East Hampton outpost of the fash-insider fave label will function like a mini replica of the New York, Los Angeles, and London stores, complete with signature French antiques, crystal chandeliers, Temperley for The Rug Company rugs, and in-house designed Temperley London fabrics. The temporary shop (located at 53 The Circle) will carry selections from Cruise 2008, Spring/Summer 2009, and Pre-Fall 2009, with a focus on chic cocktail dresses, kaftans, and beach cover ups - along with items from the Black Label and Accessories collections. To celebrate the opening, every 50th shopper will receive a $250 gift voucher through December. “We feel the Hamptons are a great location for Temperley London in particular as the products stocked in the shop cover the whole range of day and night time activities," notes Lars von Bennigsen, CEO and founding partner. "All the way from the beach or a leisurely lunch to the most glamorous of occasions.”
