In the Hamptons, an impulse buy isn’t your average last-minute stick of gum or hand sanitizer while idling at the cash wrap. Indeed, at the reimagined auto-body shop you’ll find at 9 Railroad Avenue in East Hampton, it could be an iridescent Missoni beach coverup, a $600,000 diamond necklace by SHAY Jewelry, a jar of spicy guajillo-dusted strawberries, or even a Porsche.
“She’s like the Taylor Swift of jam,” Christiansen tells Vogue, proudly sharing that the famous jam-maker had come out of retirement to create the special offering. Other mouth-watering items that people will be meandering in for include those moreish spicy strawberry snacks , bison dog treats, crowd-pleasing chile oil, everything cheddar crackers, and calming candles and chunky bricks of fancy soap should you need to convince your East End host to let you stay an extra night.
