One makes dresses. One grows vegetables. Both have a thing for making things the long way around.
Maria Korovilas is a fashion designer with a lifelong affection for craft, beautiful clothes and the people who know how to make them. Katie Baldwin is a farmer and co-founder of Amber Waves in Amagansett, where she has spent nearly two decades growing food and building community from the ground up.
Heart of the Village takes its name from Maria’s family name, Korovilas- loosely reimagined through the French coeur (heart) and village. From there, Maria and Katie began building a world of their own: part fashion, part farm, part real life, and part imagination. It’s a place for clothes, objects, food, flowers, old ideas, new experiments and things we haven’t thought of yet. We believe in knowing how things are made, knowing where things come from, keeping good things around, and putting new things into the world whenever they’re ready.
No particular season. No particular schedule.
Welcome to the village.
