Protecting Paradise Chapter 2: On the Frontlines of Conservation
Taru and Roan Carr Hartley's tales of animal friendships, unexpected encounters and conservation continue.
LOVE BRAND & Co. launches its first Resort Retail Concept Store at Pine Cay, Turks & Caicos Islands. A secluded private island on the edge of the world’s third-largest barrier reef. Blessed with one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches, plus 800 acres of pristine wilderness…
Pine Cay captures island living at its best. A Relais & Châteaux property and home to the inaugural LOVE BRAND & Co. Outpost. LOVE BRAND & Co. has distilled our concept into a compact resort retail solution for Pine Cay and created a formula for the best private islands and exclusive beach resorts around the world to delight the most discerning guests.
The Outpost includes sunny and sustainable essentials for fuss-free luxury island living. We believe less is more and want to offer guests an easy-breezy edited shopping experience with products they can actually wear and really enjoy on the property.
The fit-out design is natural, minimal and unique to the property. We sourced and up-cycled natural materials found locally at Pine Cay, together with elements from our LOVE BRAND & Co. Beach House flagship in London. Founders Oliver & Rose sensitively designed the outpost personally, collaborating with Pine Cay to create an authentic and immersive retail experience.
The sand dollar motif is synonymous with Pine Cay. This narrative weaves through the outpost and our hotel merchandise, including embroidered organic cotton T-shirts and polos, UV performance rash guards and caps, artisanal beach bags and hand-painted sun hats, exclusively available at the Outpost.
Saving the best for last, we are delighted to offer an exclusive and original LOVE BRAND & Co. print for Pine Cay featured on our Staniel Swim Shorts for men and kids. The 'Pine Cay Fish' print is inspired by the resort's profound connection to the ocean. Schools of fish swim together, shoaling left and right to create an iconic geometric pattern, exclusive to the Private Island. This distinctive fish shape is taken from the fish hanging from the ceiling of the hotel's new bar and is reminiscent of the local and aptly named Bar Jack Fish. Offering guests of Pine Cay a special takeaway and memories of the infamous blue water and marine life in Turks & Caicos.
