Southampton Pop-Up Shop To Benefit The Hampton Classic

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — A Southampton pop-up store will hep support the Hampton Classic this holiday season.

The Hampton Classic has partnered with KAVAL, a Hampton Classic sponsor, in hosting the multi-brand shop. The KAVAL & Friends Gift Emporium, which opened Thursday, will be open through the end of the year at 84B Main Street in Southampton, the site of the former J. Crew store.

A portion of all proceeds will go to Hampton Classic Horse Show, Inc., a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation, a release said.

“KAVAL has been a wonderful and supportive sponsor ever since joining the Hampton Classic,” said Shanette Cohen, Hampton Classic executive director.

The shop will have a "Sunshine Store" with swimsuits, linen shirts, sunglasses, leather sandals, beach bags, and more for those heading to warm climates. The shop will also have lifestyle and home areas, featuring Human Touch full body massage chairs, as well as a kids’ corner and a section with technical equestrian wear.

Also available will be Hampton Classic merchandise and souvenirs, including a selection of collectors-item posters from past years. Dylan’s Candy Bar will have a holiday outpost, the release said.

“We are excited to have found a way to support the Hampton Classic, an institution that brings so much economic value to the East End," said Danielle Levine, KAVAL’s Founder & CEO. "At the end of a challenging year, we also hope this pop-up shop will be a positive experience for participating brands as well as customers.”

“This is really exciting in so many ways,” Cohen added. “The Human Touch massage chairs are among the most popular items at the Classic’s Boutique Garden and people line up and wait just to try them. I’m sure they will be just as popular at the KAVAL pop-up along with all the other great items, many of which are also sold by Hampton Classic sponsors. I look forward to shopping there myself.”

The KAVAL & Friends Gift Emporium will be open six days a week; the shop will be closed on Tuesdays. Facetime shopping appointments can be reserved here.
