With the East End’s peak season in full swing, last year’s swimwear stored away in the back of a closet may be in need of a serious refresh. For those who are dedicated to ending the toxic cycle of fast fashion and value the art of well-made beach accessories, turn to Nieves Lavi for a chic lineup of sustainable summer styles. Nieves Lavi’s collection of light-as-air embroidered voile kaftans and printed sundresses combined with carefully curated accessories from around the world make for the perfect Hamptons ensemble. Whether the shores of the Hamptons are steps away 365 days a year or a sacred summer escape, Nieves Lavi’s line exudes laid-back, vacation-ready luxury.
“If your ideal itinerary consists of a day trip to the beach, then a breezy bohemian dress is just what you need. Our Tallulah Kaftan Dress in Rust is an eye-catching, timeless base that can also be worn as an easy beach cover-up. For an additional splash of color, pair it back with the Mosaic Navy & White Canasto Medium bag which is spacious enough to hold all your beach essentials. Of course, a trip to the beach wouldn’t be complete without timeless leather sandals and a luxurious fouta to lay on.”
The collection features fine silks and cottons designed in-house at the brand’s NYC studio, the epicenter of founder and designer Sharon Lavi’s creative endeavors. Lavi focuses on creating timeless designs that transport customers to a time and place when they feel free, be it a seaside Hamptons stay, a countryside sojourn or city escape.
“For a day of shopping and visiting the quaint restaurants of the East End, opt for a sophisticated take on the summer attire. Our Amelia Jumpsuit is the multi-purpose piece you’ve been looking for, providing the ultimate comfort and style. To play on the blue hues, style it with the Akagi Mini Blue Crossbody Bag and the Aramis Malibu Sandals. For a day to night look, simply swap the sandals for strappy heels and you’re ready to go!”
To curate a vacation-ready look, Lavi carefully sources pieces from artisans around the world that share the brand’s philosophy and values. Nieves Lavi partners with brands that support local communities while providing exceptional craft and quality. Think handmade leather sandals from Saint-Tropez, mochila bags handwoven by Colombian artisans, foutas handwoven in Tunisia and bracelets that are beaded in Zimbabwe in collaboration with nonprofit organizations.
“Finally, there’s nothing quite like catching up with friends poolside in the Hamptons. The Giulietta Shirt Dress in airy cotton-silk voile is the vacation must-have for these fun outings. All you need is the Mosaic Red and Beige bag to hold your towel and sunscreen, and if you’re after a dressier take to impress, then the Odelyne Natural Wedge is the perfect choice.”
Nieves Lavi invites Hamptonites to embrace the start of summer with beachwear that embodies the effortless beauty of the region. While it may be tricky to pack for every single occasion, the brand has gathered all the tried and tested styles for each summer affair.
