From Town & Country

Whether you're mixing up a frozen drink or a classic Aperol spritz this summer, you should have a well-crafted home bar, and that means more than glassware—you'll also need decanters, shakers, tumblers, and coasters. If you're out at the beach on New York's Long Island, why not stop by the new Asprey store to freshen up your bar cart?

The British brand has opened a seasonal pop-up right in downtown Southampton. Highlights from its full barware offering will be available at the store, including the renowned Octopus Glassware range, iconic Animal Head Decanters, and many other bar accessories. The pop-up also offers leather goods, home decor, and jewelry, including pieces from the Chaos collection.

Asprey is famous for many things today, including being one of Kate Middleton's go-to jewelry brands (the Duchess has been spotted numerous times in their classic gold hoops), but the London house has been a British favorite for centuries—Queen Victoria first awarded Asprey a Royal Warrant for dressing cases, writing cases, and travel bags in 1862, and it has maintained a Royal Warrant for various goods ever since. Sir Winston Churchill had a beloved Asprey crocodile cigar case, and the house even commissioned a custom chess set for Ringo Starr.

You can pick up a piece of this storied heritage at the Southampton outpost and shop for a cause: The Asprey Bar is also featuring 167 pendants in sterling silver, specially created for Asprey’s philanthropic campaign for charities battling the coronavirus pandemic. The profits will support No Kid Hungry. The Southampton store at 18 Jobs Lane will be open full time until Labor Day.
