C. Wonder – the revolutionary lifestyle brand by Southamptonite Chris Burch that opened its flagship store in Soho last year –is excited to bring its bright and cheerful vibe to the sea shore with the debut of the C. Wonder Southampton summer pop-up shop. Taking over the corner store that was formerly occupied by Nancy Corzine, the posh prep emporium will be open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.

C. Wonder signature items~ like zipper nylon pouches and Ikat dinnerware~ as well as must-have seasonal products like flip flops, wicker picnic baskets and even a pair of roller skates. Everything one needs to add more style to their vacation wardrobe and summer home or rental. Plus, the store will feature an abundance of unusual gifts in whimsical prints and breathtaking colors perfect for hostess gifting all season long!

The decor of the Southampton outpost evokes a classic seaside American aesthetic featuring bead board paneled walls and a bold use of the brand’s signature green and white striped and whimsy pattern. The exterior of the store will have awnings branded in C. Wonder’s classic green color.

Burch shares the belief that “luxury should be a feeling rather than a price tag.” The average C. Wonder product is under $40! Lacquer and enamel, canvas and leather, monogramming and personalization are all used generously to create special products to accent your Hamptons home and not break your budget.
