SOUTHAMPTON, NY — Marina St Barth welcomed the Hamptons summer season in style over Memorial Day weekend with a celebration marking both the opening of its new Southampton boutique and the luxury resort wear brand’s 20th anniversary.
Founded by Marina Cocher Bergés, Marina St Barth has become synonymous with effortless elegance, colorful sophistication, and the relaxed glamour of island living. The new boutique, located at 54 Jobs Lane in Southampton, brings the spirit of Saint Barthélemy to one of the East End’s most coveted shopping destinations.
Guests gathered to experience the brand’s carefully curated collection of resort wear, accessories, and statement pieces designed for travel, entertaining, coastal living, and modern luxury lifestyles.
A Milestone Twenty Years in the Making
The celebration served as both a boutique opening and a tribute to two decades of growth for a brand that began as a deeply personal vision.
Over the past 20 years, Marina St Barth has evolved into a destination for women seeking distinctive fashion that combines effortless wearability with vibrant color, rich texture, and a global perspective. Today, the brand operates boutiques in Southampton, Palm Beach, and Naples while maintaining a growing online presence that serves clients across the country.
Despite its expansion, Marina St Barth has remained true to its original inspiration: capturing the carefree elegance and natural beauty of Saint Barthélemy while creating pieces that seamlessly fit into the lifestyles of women who travel frequently between luxury resort communities.
The Vision Behind the Brand
For founder Marina Cocher Bergés, the anniversary carries special significance.
“This anniversary is deeply personal for me,” she said. “Marina St Barth was born from a moment that reminded me how precious life is, and from a desire to create something joyful and beautiful. For twenty years we have welcomed women looking for pieces that feel effortless, yet distinctive, fashion that carries the spirit of the islands, the freedom of travel, and the quiet confidence of true style.”
That philosophy continues to define the brand today. Rather than chasing fleeting trends, Marina St Barth focuses on timeless pieces that evoke a sense of escape and individuality while maintaining an understated sense of luxury.
Bringing Island Elegance to the Hamptons
The Southampton boutique embodies the aesthetic that has made Marina St Barth a favorite among resort wear enthusiasts. Guests browsing the new location discovered collections designed for sun-filled afternoons, seaside dinners, weekend entertaining, and international travel.
The boutique reflects the brand’s signature blend of bohemian chic, casual glamour, and sophisticated resort style. Every detail is designed to transport visitors to the laid-back elegance of Saint Barthélemy, creating an immersive shopping experience that feels both aspirational and welcoming.
As the Hamptons continues to attract affluent residents, seasonal homeowners, and international visitors, the new location represents a natural extension of the Marina St Barth lifestyle.
An Elegant Gathering of Friends and Supporters
The celebration brought together a distinguished group of guests from the worlds of fashion, philanthropy, business, and society.
Among those attending were Marina Cocher Bergés, Otto Bergés, Antonella Bertello, Jean Shafiroff, Nicole Noonan, Steve Knobel, Donna Rubin, Maribel Lieberman, Mark Seidenfeld, and Eunyoung Song.
The event reflected the close-knit community that has supported the brand throughout its two-decade journey and highlighted Marina St Barth’s enduring appeal among women who appreciate luxury fashion with personality and authenticity.
Looking Ahead
