Clic Bookstore & Gallery







While shopping in East Hampton, we came upon the usual suspects, Gucci, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Scoop and John Varvatos. A few new shops opened here that I love, including Hermès, James Perse and Steven Alan. Hermès was even featuring a black shiny porosus crocodile 40cm HAC, that was to die for. The Hermès shop is a pop-up temporary store that I hope will be here next Summer. It is right at home in this tony village.

The best new shop is Clic Bookstore and Gallery, opened by Christian Celle of Calypso fame. Since she sold her interest in Calypso, she is free to dream of new retail opportunities. We visited Clic in St. Barth's earlier this year and I was pleased to find one here in East Hampton. The shop is housed in a charming cottage strewn with rare and unusual art books as well as art work for sale. We bought this book on photographer Candida Hofer, because we have one of her majestic Palais Garnier (Opera de Paris) images in our home.
