Antiques have found a permanent home in the Hamptons as celebrated expert and interior designer Zoe Hoare has established her first-ever storefront at 2487 Main Street. After years of curating rare treasures for a global clientele across Sydney and London, Zoe has brought her signature blend of old-world charm and international style to the heart of Bridgehampton.
Located in the Malia Mills annex, Hoare & Hoare Antiques is a curated destination for vintage enthusiasts and designers. The collection spans 18th and 19th-century European furniture, French enamel kitchenware, and hand-dyed linens. Zoe’s eye for detail even extends into fashion, featuring vintage French work jackets and Indian cashmere scarves, ensuring every piece in the shop tells a distinct story.
The passion for timeless design is a family legacy; Zoe’s mother, Appley Hoare, is a renowned London dealer who influenced her daughter’s aesthetic of rustic French provincial style with a touch of whimsy. Every item in the shop is hand-selected by Zoe during her travels through France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, reflecting her commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship.
For the Bridgehampton commercial corridor, this opening represents a meaningful shift toward year-round retail consistency. While the business began as a successful series of pop-ups at the Hampton Flea, the transition to a permanent storefront allows the shop to serve as a year-round resource for the local design community. It highlights the enduring demand for high-quality, sustainable “slow fashion” and home decor on the East End.
Hoare & Hoare Antiques offers a “treasure hunt” experience that encourages visitors to explore the history behind each find. Whether you are looking for a statement furniture piece or a nostalgic accessory, the shop provides a personal, expert-led shopping experience that is increasingly rare in the modern retail landscape.
