Sunshine Boutique Moves From Amagansett To East Hampton

EAST HAMPTON, NY — The Sunshine boutique has moved from Amagansett to East Hampton.

Heidi Humes, owner of the lifestyle boutique, features items handmade by female global artisans around the world, including exclusively designed garments and accessories, home decor and unique gifts.

"I’m a big believer that change brings good. Thrilled to pieces to bring my Sunshine world to East Hampton and create community among some of my most loved small neighborhood businesses," Humes, the former director of retail merchandising at DVF, said.

Humes said she has traveled extensively to create personal relationships with the women behind her Sunshine curation.

Highlights include handcrafted clogs from France by ‘Sabot YouYou’, organic makeup from Taylor Foster of Heaven on Main Street in upstate New York, home decor from South Africa with Ashanti Design — as well as Peru, with Intiearth's sustainable frazada collection.

"There are so many things made just for the shop in small batches featuring exclusive designs," Humes said.

Her relationships run deep with artisans based in Mexico, Africa, and Guatemala; Sunshine is a global collective of all her favorite things, made by the women she loves, Humes said.

Additionally, Heidi loves to carry her favorite brands, including Amo Denim, year-round; hand-dyed cashmere by local designer Alessandra Brunialti of Marea Clothing is also offered.

Humes will also unveil a new collective of artists' work to the store for patrons to purchase. This season she is working with a group of artists at the shop including Michele D'Ermo and Isabel Bornstein, Cole Caswell and Grant Haffner.

Sunshine, located at 98 Newtown Lane, will be open on Saturdays and Sundays starting April 6. As the season progresses, the shop will also be open on Fridays in May, and then, Fridays and Mondays in June — and will be open Thursday through Monday in July and August. The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
