NEW EUROPEAN STYLE BOUTIQUE - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 14
After 18 years as a member of Round Hill’s executive team, Katrin Casserly has used her knowledge of the international clientele’s shopping expectations to create a new retail experience together with designer and business partner Pat Wright. Located at the legendary Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Montego Bay, the new Round Hill Gift Shop & Boutique is based on a European-style shopping experience, with personalized service at the heart.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the fabulous new Round Hill Gift Shop & Boutique to engage in a little retail therapy. Combined with lunch prepared by award-winning chef Martin Maginley at the oceanfront restaurant or pampering at Round Hill’s spa, located in a former plantation house overlooking the sea, it makes for the perfect day out.
The personalized shopping concept of a European boutique was introduced in December 2009 by Schatzie Limited, a company owned by Katrin and Patrick Casserly and their business partner, Jamaican designer Pat Wright. Following the renovation of the gift shop and boutique building by local designer Robert Casserly, the eclectic collection of gifts and contemporary clothing lines in the chic shop was unveiled at a cocktail party to celebrate its opening. Said Katrin Casserly, “It is a great pleasure and a dream come true to bring our concept of a destination shop to Round Hill, one of the most stylish resorts in the world.”
Boasting everything from souvenirs to special occasion presents, the majority of items have been handcrafted or sourced on-island. This includes Jamaican-made pottery, art and crafts by David Pinto, Margaret McGhie, Wassi Art, Harmony Hall and the Gallery of West Indian Art. There is also a lovely range of locally made bath products from Starfish Oils, Donna Patricia Aromatherapy by David Thomas, and Jamaican Spices and Herbs, complemented by a collection of handmade aromatherapy candles.
A mini art gallery has been created in the shop by Wayne Gallimore of Jamagination, which features prints and original paintings. Other gift ideas include wall hangings, mugs, trays, note cards, trinket boxes, local books, Jamaican and Cuban cigars, home décor items and culinary delights including Tortuga rum cakes, condiments produced by Round Hill’s kitchen and gourmet coffee from Kew Park in Westmoreland.
A new collection of Pat Wright’s much-loved Jamaican linen line, Wright Style, is available as are fashionable sandals, hats with built in sun protection, beachwear and beach bags to compliment the popular clothing items. Said Josef Forstmayr, Managing Director of Round Hill, “We are very excited to have Katrin Casserly showcasing the best of Jamaican gifts, fashion and design and we look forward to welcoming everyone to the Round Hill Gift Shop & Boutique.”
