It is located in the heart of the Hamptons in the historic town of Sag Harbor, which is and always has been a vibrant artists’ and writers’ community. The 1818 Collective offers an exclusive mix of hard-to-find vintage and contemporary furnishings, art, accessories and textiles. Set in a dynamic environment that encourages playfulness and discovery, the experience is constantly evolving in keeping with Analisse and Kristin’s voracious curiosity. The house hosts special gatherings, artisan workshops and meet-the-maker events to foster connectivity among members of the local and global design community.
