Mecox Gardens, Southampton, NY

This is the store that started it all.  Mack Hoag and his staff have created one of the finest stores in the country. This is the original and still my favorite although Palm Beach, Dallas and Los Angeles have equally appealing  outlets.  The store in Manhattan is small but “choice”.  The antiques are the strong suit but you can always count on Mack to have the best in whatever category you shop.
