Margot's guide to Lowcountry elegance

Fashion & Style

In Brief

Luxury shopping on Hilton Head Island centers on Harbour Town in Sea Pines, The Shops at Sea Pines Center and Coligny Plaza, where Jean-Pierre Klifa's boutiques offer curated European fashion from Paris, Milan and Copenhagen. For fine jewelry, Forsythe Jewelers serves the island and Levy Jewelers in Savannah is an authorized Rolex dealer.

The Lowcountry wardrobe is a language spoken fluently by those who belong. From trunk shows at Sea Pines Resort to the curated racks of Jean-Pierre Klifa's thirteen European boutiques, where Margot herself guides clients through collections from Paris, Milan, and Copenhagen. Hilton Head's fashion scene is quiet wealth personified. Levy Jewelers in Savannah holds authorized Rolex dealership status. Harbour Town's boutiques carry resort collections unavailable elsewhere in the Southeast. Coligny Plaza blends island casual with designer labels. And the private stylists who serve the island's estates understand that true luxury is never loud. It whispers. Margot curates every recommendation with the eye of someone who has dressed for every occasion the island offers: Tuesday morning at the tennis club, a Friday evening art walk in Old Town Bluffton, and a Saturday night charity gala beneath the live oaks at Wexford.
