Global luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman New York, a lead brand in the Caleres (NYSE: CAL) portfolio, celebrated the opening of its first-ever Hamptons shopping installation, Exotic Escape, with an intimate cocktail party and dinner on the evening of Thursday, June 25th at The Maidstone Hotel in the historic district of East Hampton. Set in the iconic boutique hotel and restaurant’s private garden — just steps away from the limited-time shop — the evening brought together press, tastemakers, and brand partners for a coursed dinner featuring seasonal ingredients from the East End of Long Island.

The summer shopping installation, Exotic Escape, opened on June 19th and features an exclusive edit of summer style essentials curated for the Hamptons vacationer. It is inspired by the brand’s Summer 2026 Campaign & Collection, “Exotic Escape,” which debuted a capsule of animal-print and summer-forward silhouettes.

The concept is centered on the modern, high-achieving woman who, following a year of nonstop hustle in her never-ending pursuit of betterment, is trading in her fast-paced life for a summer escape — a trip to the Hamptons, perhaps. This comes to life through a tailored product offering of bestsellers in crocodile-, leopard- and zebra-print, most-wanted wedges, party platforms, sexy sandals and elevated flats, as well as an edit of men’s styles and sunglasses.

Stuart Weitzman’s Exotic Escape is open every day from 11 AM to 7 PM through Friday, July 31st. The Summer 2026 Collection is available to shop on stuartweitzman.com, in Stuart Weitzman boutiques around the world, and at select retail partners.
