Winnie Beattie spent her childhood in Hawaii, developing an instinct for warmth that now defines a specialty shop goop calls “always fresh and a standout on the east end.” Together with husband Rob Magnotta and their three boys, she curates objects, clothing, and experiences that embody the warmth they pursue in people, places, and things.
Warm occupies space in Amagansett where discovery happens naturally. French lingerie shares shelves with surf books. Glittery socks neighbor vintage dresses. Soft tees hang near metallic Mary Janes. The curation defies category while maintaining coherent personality—an absolute Amagansett gem that’s not to be missed.
Why Warm Attracts Discerning Shoppers
The shop reflects its owners’ values rather than market trends. Every item earns placement through the emotional response it generates—the warmth it provides to buyer and recipient.
The Personal Touch
Beattie and Magnotta’s life experiences inform every buying decision. Their pursuit of warmth across Hawaii, New York, and global travels translates into inventory that feels discovered rather than distributed. Customers find items impossible to locate elsewhere.
Emerging Brand Focus
Double Eleven, Vivien Ramsey, Araks—brands that serious shoppers know but mainstream retailers ignore. Warm’s curation introduces visitors to designers whose quality exceeds their visibility.
What Makes Warm Different
The shop operates as funky concept store rather than conventional boutique. Jewelry, handmade silk socks, designer apparel, and lifestyle objects coexist in curated chaos that rewards exploration.
The Scent Experience
Candles capturing Salt Air, Seawater, Warm Sand, and 1970s Coppertone transport visitors through olfactory nostalgia. These signature scents extend Warm’s philosophy into sensory dimensions beyond visual merchandising.
The Discovery Model
Many curated brands don’t appear online. Store visits reveal inventory unavailable through digital channels. This scarcity rewards physical presence and creates conversation-worthy finds.
The Amagansett Context
Amagansett’s Main Street attracts design lovers, artists, and visitors seeking alternatives to East Hampton’s polish. Warm fits naturally among neighbors like Love Adorned and TIINA the STORE.
Community Connection
The shop participates in Amagansett’s intimate community rather than operating as transient retail. Owners know customers. Relationships develop across seasons. This authenticity distinguishes Warm from destination shopping experiences.
Shopping Expectations
Customers describe experiences rather than transactions. “Carefully curated shop where one finds all sorts of unique items that evoke the beauty and warmth of the owner.” Prices reflect quality and scarcity—bring resources matching aspirations.
Customer Service
Staff provides speedy email responses and genuine assistance. The small operation maintains personal attention impossible at larger retailers. Questions about specific items receive thoughtful answers.
Planning Your Visit
Warm operates from Main Street in Amagansett. Hours align with village rhythms rather than metropolitan convenience.
What to Bring
Open mind and adequate budget. The shop rewards browsing without agenda. Best finds emerge unexpectedly from corners and shelves explored without specific targets.

The Bottom Line on Warm
Shopping at Warm delivers more than merchandise. The experience reflects curators who built a store around values rather than margins. For visitors who understand that the best purchases carry stories, Warm represents Hamptons retail at its most personal and rewarding.
