A refined weekend affair uniting craftsmanship, fashion, and fine living at The Baker House 1650 has been brought to us by New York / Hamptons PR Powerhouse Norah Lawlor:
The Baker House 1650 in East Hampton will once again open its doors to host Timeless Craft, an experiential showcase that celebrates the art of modern craftsmanship with a focus on enduring quality and design. Presented by Paz Lifestyle, the two-day event takes place on October 25th and 26th, offering an immersive journey through the worlds of fashion, art, and hospitality. Each presentation within the showcase reflects a dedication to detail and an appreciation for the artistry of creation, set within one of the Hamptons’ most elegant and historic boutique hotels.
Guests will be invited to experience a thoughtfully curated environment where tradition meets innovation. The program reflects a deep reverence for material excellence and aesthetic integrity, beginning with bespoke tailoring by Rishabh Manocha. Known for precise workmanship and classic tailoring sensibilities, Manocha brings a sense of individuality and form to contemporary menswear. His presentation emphasizes the dialogue between structure and expression that defines true sartorial craftsmanship.
The event extends into the realm of design with functional art from Slicelab, whose explorations of form and geometry blur the line between architecture and sculpture. Their work demonstrates how digital fabrication and material experimentation can yield pieces that are both visually striking and purposefully designed. The inclusion of Slicelab underlines the event’s broader theme: the seamless integration of art and utility in modern living.
Adding a global dimension to the showcase, the Peruvian textile brands Kuna and Ayni present their signature creations. Both brands are celebrated for their commitment to ethical sourcing and traditional craftsmanship, translating centuries of Andean heritage into contemporary fashion. Through their refined alpaca and cotton pieces, they convey a deep respect for cultural lineage and artisanal technique, connecting distant traditions with today’s mindful luxury consumer.
In keeping with East Hampton’s spirit of understated indulgence, the experience is elevated further by elements of gastronomy and leisure. Montecristo brings the sophistication of fine cigar craftsmanship to the event, inviting guests to savor the legacy of a name synonymous with quality and refinement. Altima adds another layer of indulgence with a caviar tasting experience, emphasizing purity and provenance in every serving. Completing the culinary journey, the Hamptons Shucker Company offers oysters freshly sourced from local waters, highlighting the region’s maritime heritage and culinary excellence.
The Baker House 1650 provides a fitting setting for this celebration of artistry and culture. With its meticulously preserved architecture and intimate charm, the historic property serves as both backdrop and inspiration. Its setting on Main Street in East Hampton offers an atmosphere of serenity and distinction, complementing the event’s dedication to timeless design and sensory experience. Guests attending Timeless Craft will find themselves immersed in an environment where craftsmanship is not merely observed but felt — through touch, taste, and conversation.
Paz Lifestyle, the presenting host, has established itself as a curator of conscious luxury. The brand’s philosophy centers on sustainability, authenticity, and the art of living well. By assembling creators who embody these values, Timeless Craft becomes more than a showcase — it is a dialogue on the enduring relevance of skilled hands and thoughtful creation in an increasingly digital age.
Each participant contributes to a shared narrative of care and dedication. The event’s structure encourages slow exploration, allowing attendees to engage directly with designers, artists, and artisans. In this way, the showcase revives an appreciation for craftsmanship that is often overshadowed by speed and mass production. Every presentation within Timeless Craft is designed to reawaken the senses, grounding guests in the tactile beauty of materials and the precision of human touch.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can move between presentations, tastings, and conversations at their own pace. The open format reflects the relaxed yet refined rhythm of the Hamptons, where discovery unfolds organically. It is an atmosphere that encourages connection — between guest and creator, between past and present, and between the many forms of artistry on display.
For those familiar with The Baker House 1650, the setting itself is part of the experience. The historic property embodies East Hampton’s architectural heritage, balancing elegance with intimacy. Its manicured grounds and carefully preserved interiors provide a serene counterpart to the modern creativity showcased within its walls. Every corner of the estate reinforces the event’s message of timelessness and authenticity.

By blending fine tailoring, artful design, global craftsmanship, and epicurean delight, Timeless Craft presents a comprehensive portrait of contemporary luxury rooted in tradition. It reaffirms the notion that craftsmanship, when guided by vision and integrity, transcends time and trend. The showcase honors not only the final creations but also the process, dedication, and artistry behind them — a celebration of excellence expressed through every fabric, form, and flavor.
The event welcomes guests from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on both days, offering ample opportunity to engage with each presentation in a leisurely and thoughtful manner. With its combination of fashion, art, gastronomy, and hospitality, Timeless Craft promises to stand as one of the season’s most distinctive gatherings in East Hampton.
