New from the Brooklyn-based brand Brother Vellies, founded by Aurora James, is the alluring Bike Shoe. With a modern-meets-athletic twist, the strappy-heeled sandal features wrap-around ankle ties that are reminiscent of elegant ballet shoe ribbons. In vibrant neon hues like Electric Flamingo, Electric Papaya, and Lemonhead, the eye-catching model will take you from day to night in summer style.

Take home cherished memories from the beach and incorporate them into your everyday style with the fashion designer (and Montauk resident) Cynthia Rowley’s collection of coastal-themed charms for Loquet London. Seven bespoke charms feature a wanderlust for the seaside: a yellow gold seashell stands out against rainbow sapphires, a white golf dolphin plays against diamonds, while a yellow gold seahorse mixes with blue sapphires. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to preserving the world’s oceans and beaches.

Luxury automotive company Lincoln is celebrating its 100th anniversary with the design brand Shinola, collaborating on two special timepieces after the success of its last partnership. The two Detroit-based brands bring you the ultimate offering in craftsmanship and artistry with two Runwell styles—limited to 500 pieces the Chronograph features rose gold details on the bezel, while the Automatic debuts a matte black vellum-textured dial and rose gold numbers.

As part of its Artist Series line, TOMS is elevating artists who create work inspired by mental health and donating one third of its annual profits to mental health organizations. For a limited time, the brand is collaborating with the Los Angeles based illustrator Ashley Lukashevsky, designing the iconic Alp shoe through the artist’s lens: joyful figures dance in dream-like lavender, pink, and white. In continuation of the series, TOMS will be working with six artists this year to design limited-edition footwear that embraces social causes.

The Montblanc “Heritage” collection pays homage to the Baby Pens of the 1910s and ‘20s with the Rouge et Noir Baby Special Edition style. When first introduced, the innovative fountain pens transformed writing culture. Now with an advanced design, the chic travel companions are available in black lacquer with platinum-coated fittings and in ivory-colored lacquer with signature gold-coated fittings.

Everyday pieces—such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets—are made dramatic with 14K gold, pear-cut diamonds, rubies, and emerald stones. Sleek and finely detailed, each piece is a bold treasure.

Summer’s end becomes a beacon of joy by way of Dom Pérignon’s collaboration with the three-Star Michelin Chef Masa Takayama. From August 17 through the end of the month, guests are invited to participate in a culinary adventure while sailing the waters of Sag Harbor and Montauk. On board a luxury yacht of the iconic champagne house, Chef Takayama prepares exceptional Japanese cuisine, paired with the latest Dom Pérignon vintages. The house’s yacht concierge concept, debuted in 2021 at Art Basel Miami Beach, has evolved into the ultimate creative experience.
