Marina St Barth Welcomes Wonder Shuffle with a Chic Hamptons Launch Party

In the heart of East Hampton, an intimate crowd gathered at Marina St Barth for more than just a fashion-forward evening—it was the debut of Wonder Shuffle, a sleek new travel and lifestyle platform designed for those who collect destinations as artfully as they do designer pieces. Hosted at Marina’s newest outpost on Park Place, the event marked a summer highlight for fashion insiders, travelers, and tastemakers looking to explore with elegance and intent.

Marina St Barth, known for translating the spirit of Saint Barthélemy into effortless resortwear, provided the perfect backdrop: curated racks of flowing silhouettes and a standout display of exclusive summer bags designed in collaboration with Alexander by Design. It was a setting that embodied quiet luxury—breezy yet composed, international yet personal.

The evening centered around Wonder Shuffle, co-founded by journalist Dan Kadison and global travel executive Si-Yeon Kim. Blending editorial precision with wanderlust expertise, the duo introduced their vision to guests: a smart, analog-meets-digital system of travel cards and animated “packs” that help users uncover hidden gems, track their experiences via a personalized map and calendar, and easily recall them for future inspiration.

With its roots in the rhythms of New York City and the Hamptons, Wonder Shuffle appeals to travelers who value curated experience over algorithmic suggestions. It's designed for exploration that feels intentional—equal parts serendipitous and strategic.

Fashion and travel weren’t the only things on offer. Guests sipped their way through a thoughtful selection of drinks that championed East End artisans and emerging labels alike. BIATCH® Tequila brought a cheeky energy to the bar, while Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits, Sagaponack Farm Distillery, and Kidd Squid Brewing Co. showcased regional flavor with sophistication.

Each pour paired naturally with Marina St Barth’s breezy energy—sun-washed fabrics, a DJ-curated backdrop, and a room filled with conversation about upcoming summer escapes.

Notable guests included a blend of fashion figures, entrepreneurs, and lifestyle creatives: Leesa Rowland, Christina Isaly, Elizabeth Villeneuve, Shana Novak, and Jean Shafiroff mingled alongside media contributors and founders. The founders of Wonder Shuffle—Kadison and Kim—shared insights about their platform with an ease that felt less like a product pitch and more like a conversation between kindred explorers.

The boutique’s setting made for organic discovery—guests could shop the racks, learn about Wonder Shuffle, sip a tequila spritz, and still catch up with familiar faces in a stylish, down-to-earth setting.

In many ways, the event was a reflection of Wonder Shuffle’s mission: to guide curious minds and seasoned travelers toward the art of discovering beautifully. And with Marina St Barth as the host—a brand synonymous with quiet confidence and coastal elegance—it became clear that exploration isn’t just about where you go, but how you curate the journey.
