If you have seen lots and lots of brightly colored matching sets lately, Suzie Kondi is likely to blame. Since debuting her eponymous line in 2018, the comfy velour tracksuits have become the de facto uniform of laid-back cool kids (the cashmere hats and sweaters are also divine). The Australian-born designer has been spending lots of time out East since opening a boutique in low-key Amagansett. “Amagansett reminds me of Noosa, my hometown in Australia,” Kondi tells GRAZIA Gazette: Hamptons. What else does she love about summers out East? “The amazing beaches and fresh produce.”
GRAZIA: Dinner with friends?
Suzie Kondi: Cooking and eating at home with fresh vegetables from Balsam Farm.
G: Best beach?
SK: Two Mile Hollow
G: Go-to workout?
SK: New York Pilates. Thankfully they’ve opened in East Hampton and I can ride my bike to class.
G: Farmstand of choice?
SK: Balsam but I do love Reginas at the Sag Harbor Farmers market Saturday mornings. I Iove her fresh watermelon juice!
G: East End shopping?
SK: Suzie Kondi and EE home
G: Date night?
SK: Sitting in the garden at Il Buco Mare talking about our daughter or looking at photos of her. Yes, we’re those people.
G: Hidden gem?
SK: A secret beach that I ride my bike to. There’s a hidden path to a private beach – the path is all grown over and it reminds me of the beach tracks at home in Australia where I grew up on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
G: Morning beverage?
SK: I am a matcha girl. I love making my own ginger turmeric iced matcha during the summer.
G: Sunday activity?
SK: A bike ride to the beach with my girl followed by a beach hang with the whole family. Swimming in the ocean is my panacea. You never regret it.
