Libertine, the swanky Los Angeles fashion house, has sashayed its lively and imaginative designs to the Hamptons, setting up a bespoke summer pop-up at Sage & Madison in Sag Harbor Village. This fleeting affair captures Libertine’s quirky mix of haute couture and nods to the local scene, crafting a whimsical adventure for style aficionados.
Libertine’s approach to their Sag Harbor pop-up is a celebration of the local culture, with even the hand silk-screened bags paying tribute to Sag Harbor. This attention to detail and appreciation for context make the pop-up a standout event this summer. The custom designs crafted specifically for this event are in high demand, reflecting the brand’s commitment to exclusivity and quality.
Entering the pop-up, visitors are welcomed by a curated array that perfectly captures Libertine’s distinct take on luxury fashion. Drawing inspiration from the Hamptons vibe, the collection presents a vibrant contrast to the typical “earth tones” and “neutral” palettes. Each item is thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted, transforming the collection into an art installation rather than just clothing on racks.
The Libertine team, led by visionary Johnson Hartig, exudes passion and expertise. Their enthusiasm and deep knowledge about the collection are palpable, offering visitors a unique insight into the brand’s creative process. “We’re thrilled to be part of the Sag Harbor community this summer,” says Lindsey Foreman, reflecting the excitement of bringing Libertine’s LA-based studio experience to the Hamptons.
Libertine started as a one-of-a-kind vintage luxury brand, pioneering in a now crowded space. Hartig’s evolution from vintage garments to a full luxury fashion house is evident in the pop-up’s offerings. The vintage legacy continues with French Military Jackets, including an exclusive design for the Sag Harbor event.
The core of Libertine’s collection is the confidence to go boldly. The pieces are a kinetic expression of art and fashion, seamlessly blending playfulness with sophistication. The collection remains seasonless, highlighted by classic silhouettes and eclectic designs that never lose direction.
Libertine’s designs are a visual feast, featuring screen-printed patterns on a variety of fabrics including denim, silk, and cotton. Notable lines like ‘Bloomsbury Collage,’ ‘Lover’s Eye,’ and ‘Button Town’ showcase the brand’s creativity and attention to detail. The Solid Silk line of 4-ply super-saturated silk and hand-sewn slacks and chinos are perfect additions to any Hamptons wardrobe.
Animal lovers at heart, the Libertine team fits right into the Hamptons community. Sage & Madison, the venue for this pop-up, is a jewel-box of Sag Harbor charm. Its manicured grounds and inviting gardens provide the perfect backdrop for Libertine’s bold designs.
Libertine’s Sag Harbor pop-up is more than just a shopping experience; it’s a celebration of fashion, art, and local culture. With their unique blend of high fashion and local homage, Libertine has created a summer event that is both inspiring and unforgettable. Fashion enthusiasts should not miss the opportunity to explore this exclusive collection and experience the vibrant energy of Libertine firsthand.
