EYE ON STYLE: SERENELLA 44

Bringing Special Magic to Nantucket

Serenella 44, the exciting new retail concept at 44 Centre Street, Nantucket created by Leslee Shupe, blends the best of international high fashion and artisanal design. This is Serenella’s second outpost on our island, joining Serenella at 9B South Beach Street, known as one of the top 50 boutiques in the world and consistently voted “Best of” and heralded by regional and national publications.

To accomplish her goals with Serenella 44, Leslee scanned the globe and hand-selected a refined selection of the season's must-haves in ready-to-wear and accessories. To compliment the fashions, they offer a fresh take on tableware, home accents, and modern apothecary treasures offered by Serenella Casa. In her search, Serenella 44 emphasizes brands exuding a robust sense of place to transport clients through the design and craftmanship of these pieces.

Leslee has always been an advocate for the Latin American fashion and design community through her work with the Latin American Fashion Summit. While serving as a judge in 2019, she discovered Juan de Dios, a resort-wear brand out of Colombia founded by Isabella Gutierrez and Maria Valencia.

“The impetus to bring Juan de Dios to Nantucket is that the brand is really the ethos of my philosophy of the theme of Serenella 44,” Leslee explained.

For Summer 2021, Leslee is pleased to present to you a select offering from the latest coming out of Juan de Dios’s Colombia. Juan de Dios has partnered with another Colombian women-owned brand, Moye, which also originates from the picturesque, storied countryside of Colombia. Through their pieces, they narrate a story where the magical and the mythical intertwine with the everyday...a story in which the elements of nature, embodied in prints, become the narrators.
