The already quiet coastal style codes between the sea and the Santa Ynez Mountains just got more refined with the addition of three elegant Italian houses to the resort retail mix at ROSEWOOD MIRAMAR BEACH.

Matthieu Blazy’s sculptural Bottega Veneta designs for men and women — beloved for trompe l’oeil details like denim-printed leather and the atelier’s signature intrecciato technique — have arrived. Known for understated clothes created with couture-ish details, the house, founded in Vicenza, Italy, in 1966 and based in Milan, carries precise cocoon coats and dresses along with coveted bags.

Zegna, with its roots in the Italian Alps and known both for its wool mill and surrounding Oasi Zegna natural territory, also has a new menswear boutique at the resort. Alessandro Sartori, the house’s artistic director, favors precise tailoring and leisure looks using entirely traceable cashmere and flax fibers. Made-to-measure is also available on the premises.

 

Lush designs for men and women are marine layer-ready

Loro Piana’s trove of natural material — including wool, cashmere, vicuña, linen, silk, and cotton — in camel, brown, burgundy, and other neutrals are on hand at the resort in the Italian house’s new shop. Lush designs for men and women are marine layer-ready.

These new spots join an already robust lineup, including Brunello Cucinelli’s earth-hued classics; The Webster’s curated assortment of Celine, Gucci, and other independent designers; and California native James Perse’s perfectly fitting loungewear and modern furniture. 1759 S. Jameson Ln., Montecito, 805-900-8388; rosewoodhotels.com.
