MONC XIII in Sag Harbor is my favorite destination for traditional and modern curated home design. Splashing on to the Hamptons home scene last summer, MONC XIII offers an exclusive selection of vintage furniture and stylish home accents from high-end luxury brands throughout the world, personally selected by interior designer owner, Natasha Esch. Located in the artsy whaling village, Natasha’s curation of the store incorporates her unique design philosophy: a balance of beauty, function, and quality of life. So who better to ask for suggestions on the perfect gifts for Christmas? Natasha shares her haute holiday gift guide below:

Natasha tells KDHamptons, “The gift selection from MONC XIII this season was inspired by Copper, which has been a recent obsession of mine.  Accents in Cooper such as book ends and pillows are the perfect way to add character and warmth to any room. I also wanted to keep the gift guide cozy and focused around winter gatherings, and nothing says holiday get togethers like a game of backgammon with family and friends wrapped in cashmere throw. If I had to give one gift this season it would be backgammon set by Geoffrey Parker, the memories you create while playing are priceless.”
