Shop the hotel looks across the globe
Roberto Salomone LE SIRENUSE, ITALY In 1990, designer-turned-hotelier Carla Sersale opened her first Emporio Sirenuse shop in Positano, opposite her husband’s Le Sirenuse hotel. Since then, she’s launched a resort-wear line (now sold internationally) and opened another shop next to the original, with all whitewashed walls, arched doorways, and tiled floors. This shop offers fashion-forward beach gear designed in Italy, including ruffled dresses and oversized linen shirts, reflecting the hotel’s painterly aesthetic. Collaborators include Ancient Greek Sandals, Emilia Wickstead, and New York’s Tombolo. This fresh, romantic take on Italian seaside style has extended into homeware with Murano glass and hand-embroidered pillows seen in the hotel. emporiosirenuse.com
