It will be open through October in East Hampton, Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Italian Style
The Peserico-Peruffo family, who own seven shops in Italy and several in Asia and Europe, has opened their first shop in the United States on Newtown Lane, East Hampton.
Started by Maria Peserico in 1962 in Vicenza, Italy, the business won the Apollo d’Oro from the European Chamber of Commerce that year for best craftsmanship and “for the excellent quality and results achieved by the company.” That symbol became the logo of the business.
The East Hampton shop has stocked one example of each of its styles in the most frequently sold sizes, and Hailey Nielsen, the manager, or Jacqueline Plaza, the assistant manager, would have to send to Italy if a customer requested another.
The women worked together for three years at Elie Tahari on Main Street. They were recruited to work at Peserico, a reunion of sorts. The Peserico line includes dresses, jackets, trousers, and blouses produced in Italy from blends of rough linen and silk georgette, light organdy, and cotton jacquard. Colors inspired by the landscape of Cornedo Vicentino, the shop’s birthplace, range from robin’s-egg blue to blue-gray or milky tones and to shades of beige and pink.
