In May, TouchGoods owner Norine Pennacchia expanded her popular home store brand with a sister spot in Jamesport. Her stylish new shop, The Outpost by TouchGoods (1560 Main Road, Jamesport, 631-779-2011), retains the classic homey energy of her Southold space. But here, it’s all about the Western vibe.
Shelves are full of witty children’s products like silly bibs and sippy cups, teething toys and beautiful baby blankets. Pennacchia also stocks spices, olive oil, unique knickknacks, sweaters, scarves, handbags and, despite differentiating from the cook-centric wares of her Southold store, a smattering of appropriate kitchen-y items, all with cowboy-leaning flair.
Pennacchia, whose East End design-minded career began in the Hamptons before corralling her talents to the North Fork, has enjoyed adding to Jamesport’s special scene. Stop in for your winter gifting needs or to collect cowboy-core decorations to spice up your space.
