Chez Peachy: MacKenzie-Childs Opens in Southampton

MacKenzie-Childs announces the opening of its newest retail store in Southampton, New York. Located in the heart of Main Street, this charming shop showcases the designer’s newest collections of garden furniture and other outdoor items such as the iconic garden gates, upholstered furniture including the new Underpinnings collection with Courtly Check fabric, a full assortment of home décor and hostess gifts and of course, the complete ceramic and enamel tabletop collections. The store is now open and the official ribbon cutting will take place on May 21^st, where Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley will be on hand to officiate.

Lee Feldman, MacKenzie-Childs’ CEO commented,“We are very excited to be open in Southampton. This is the perfect setting for the MacKenzie-Childs design aesthetic. Many of our collectors spend time and have homes in Southampton and we look forward to seeing them in our Hamptons location.’

“The last several years we’ve had great fun expanding our garden collection, as well as breaking new ground in textiles, upholstered furniture and holiday. Developing this new location for Southampton has been a real joy and could not have happened at a better time. With all of its fabulous gardens and focus on outdoor life, we think it’s an ideal place for our new home away from home,” says Rebecca Proctor, MacKenzie-Childs’ Creative Director.

The Southampton location will be open year round Monday-Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 12-5, and there will be extended hours during peak season and holidays. The store address is 31 Main Street Southampton, New York 11968. The store phone number is 631-283-1880.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
