Antiques have a fresh new home in the Hamptons as Zoe Hoare, a celebrated antiques expert and interior designer, opens her first-ever storefront at 2487 Main Street. After years of curating rare treasures for clients across Sydney, London, and beyond, Zoe brings her signature blend of old-world charm and global style to the heart of Bridgehampton.
Located in the Malia Mills annex, Hoare & Hoare Antiques, is a dream for vintage lovers and design enthusiasts alike. From 18th and 19th century European finds, to playful, affordable decor, every piece has a story. Think: blue and white enamel kitchenware from France, hand-dyed table linens in candy hues, and butter-soft Indian cashmere scarves. Zoe’s unique eye even extends to fashion, with vintage French work jackets and overalls that are right on trend.
“I’ve always had a passion for finding pieces with stories and character,” says Zoe. “Every item in my collection is something that sparks joy, whether it’s a beautifully worn French enamel pot, a vintage work jacket, or a hand-dyed tablecloth. I want my store to feel like a treasure hunt, full of unexpected finds and nostalgic charm.”
Antiques definitely run in the family, because Zoe’s mother, Appley Hoare, is a renowned London dealer who passed on her love of timeless design. Zoe’s aesthetic blends rustic French provincial with a dash of whimsy, drawing inspiration from travels through France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.
After a successful previous summer selling at Hamptons flea markets, Zoe’s new store marks an exciting next chapter in her design journey. Best of all, when you step inside, there’s a good chance you’ll get to chat with Zoe herself. Her deep knowledge and passion for antiques shine through as she shares the stories behind each unique find. It’s inspiring to see a local Hamptons resident bring their passion to life in such a meaningful way.
Zoe Hoare Antiques & Vintage is now open year-round at 2487 Main Street, Bridgehampton, NY.
