Gucci Launches Summer Activations in The Hamptons

Gucci is marking summer with several new activations at its East Hampton boutique. Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura Beverly Hills, the Michelin-starred Los Angeles restaurant that is one of the city’s most coveted reservations, is appearing out east this summer and is partnering with Sant Ambroues on a special edition cookie. Mattia Agazzi and Tamara Rigo, head chef and pastry chef of Gucci Osteria, respectively, have collaborated with the team at Sant Ambroeus to create a Gucci touch on Sant Ambroeus’ fan favorite Ventaglio al Caffé cookie. The cookie tin, which launches Friday and is available for sale exclusively in the Hamptons for $45, is decorated with historical motifs from the Gucci Archive.

Gucci East Hampton will also feature new pieces from the Gucci Summer Stories, a collection of warm-weather pieces, and the boutique’s windows will be specially designed for the Fourth of July weekend.
