An oceanfront CHANEL boutique, rooted in the French house’s polished codes, has arrived in Montecito at the Rosewood Miramar Beach. The single-level space, awash in black, white, and beige, is designed with dark wood shelves, patterned carpets, and tweed seating. It’s filled with Cruise 26 ready-to-wear, including knitted pieces and gold textured suits paired with watches and fine jewelry. Bags and accessories also line the main salon, while shoes sit in an adjoining space; two fitting rooms for personalized shopping complete the newest addition to the resort’s curated selection of shops. Beyond the ready-to-wear looks, first shown at the Villa d’Este on Lake Como, there is an extensive selection of baubles from Coco Crush, No. 5, constellation-evoking Comète, ribbon-esque Ruban, and the emblematic geometric curves of Camélia rings, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and necklaces. Also on hand are timepieces including the new Première Galon, the sporty J12 collection, and the rectangular Boy Friend. The house known for debuting its ready-to-wear resort looks on one of Europe’s most stylish Rivieras has arrived at America’s counterpart. The Shops at Miramar, Rosewood Miramar Beach, 1555 S.

Webb’s World
A New York jewelry house goes west
Shapes that first bloomed in DAVID WEBB’s mind and continue to be produced by master jewelers in New York are making their way to the coast, where the house has opened a new boutique in Montecito. The boldly original hammered gold designs and animals with eyes and defining features encrusted with colored gemstones long sought out by stars with a penchant for elegant, original baubles—including Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Rihanna, and Scarlett Johansson—now have a new address at the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort. Webb looked to the natural world as he drew up ideas, and he left an archive of nearly 100,000 sketches, most of which have yet to be produced. This store opening is the first for the house in more than a decade, and the new space is filled with his classics, including enamel earrings, plus bent or twisted nail designs, and all manner of frogs, leopards, zebras, and more. A mix of coral, turquoise, and myriad colored gemstones reflect the hues of local sunsets and cool coastal waters. There are also unique creations to be found alongside the jungle cats, diamond-dusted necklaces, and inimitably bold cocktail rings. 1759 S.
