The Maidstone x Dinner Service: A Worthy Escape

We’ve always been drawn to places that hold memory in their walls. Not flashy or loud, but enduring. Lived in. Loved well. That’s what The Maidstone is. Nestled on East Hampton’s Main Street, it’s more than a hotel—it’s a keeper of stories. A place where linen napkins catch the breeze, aperitivos stretch into dusk, and every detail feels touched by hand. The Maidstone is that perfect mix of charm and intentionality. A lived-in luxury that doesn’t need to try. It’s the kind of place you want to stay awhile, maybe forever. 

At Dinner Service we have always been about elevated simplicity. Pieces made with care. Designed not just to be worn, but to be felt. With The Maidstone, and the dreamers at LDV Hospitality behind it, we found kindred spirits. They speak our language: thoughtful design, a reverence for tradition, and an instinct for making the everyday feel extraordinary. They serve Italian soul food with East End ease. They know that luxury isn’t in the labels—it’s in the experience.

Together, we created a piece to wear in the moments that matter most. The ones between arrival and departure. A boxy-fit French Terry crewneck sweatshirt—cut from 12oz, 100% organic cotton yarns. Planet-safe. Heavyweight. With striped cuffs and a neckline like something borrowed from a vintage regatta. Just enough detail. It’s the kind of thing you throw on after a swim, or before a dinner party you hope never ends.

This collaboration is an ode to the quiet opulence of the Hamptons. To mornings barefoot in the garden and evenings that smell like salt and rosemary. It’s for long drives with the windows down, for books half-read on the porch, for dressing up just a little—because it feels good to do so.

At Dinner Service, we’ve always believed in dressing for the life you want. Not the hustle, but the exhale. Not the inbox, but salt air and wood smoke. This sweater is for that moment—the in-between hour when you’re neither coming nor going. You’re just here.

So here’s to a partnership rooted in place and philosophy. To the beautiful house on Main Street. To cotton grown slow and stitched to last. To coastal afternoons, wool blankets, and dinner just a little too late. Here's to The Maidstone. Here's to La Dolce Vita. Here's to taking your time.
