Garden Glamour

Maria and Kenneth Fishel hosted an elegant garden gathering with Asprey of London, pairing Hamptons hospitality with British craftsmanship in honor of the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County’s Old Bags Luncheon.

Maria and Kenneth Fishel welcomed guests to their Bridgehampton estate for a summer garden party presented in partnership with Asprey of London. Set among manicured grounds, the afternoon blended British tradition, luxury design and relaxed Hamptons hospitality.

The gathering was held in honor of the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County’s Old Bags Luncheon, connecting the elegant showcase with a charitable purpose. Guests enjoyed refreshments while viewing a curated presentation of Asprey jewelry, silver, leather goods and decorative objects.

Founded in 1781, Asprey has long been associated with exceptional craftsmanship and refined materials. The British house has served an international clientele that has included royalty, heads of state and prominent figures from the arts and public life. Its collections continue to reflect a tradition of handwork, precision and understated luxury.

At the Fishels’ estate, those qualities were presented in a setting that felt both polished and welcoming. The gardens provided a natural backdrop for the collection, allowing guests to move easily between conversation, refreshments and displays. The result was less a formal product presentation than an intimate summer salon, where design and social connection shared equal importance.

Notable attendees included Kenneth and Maria Fishel, Michele Heary, Candace Bushnell, Nicole Miller, Geraldo Rivera, Erica Rivera, Donna Rubin, Jean Shafiroff, Kathy Prounis, Adriana Castro and Jennifer Luloff.

The afternoon also reflected the Fishels’ reputation for bringing together culture, philanthropy and hospitality at their Bridgehampton home. Their gatherings often pair a distinctive theme with a broader community connection, creating occasions that are visually memorable without losing sight of the people and causes being recognized.

Asprey’s presence added a sense of history to the event. Although the setting was unmistakably Hamptons, the silver, leather and jewelry collections carried the legacy of a London house with more than two centuries of design experience. That contrast gave the afternoon its particular character: English formality softened by garden light, summer conversation and East End ease.

For guests, the event offered an opportunity to experience iconic designs in a private and personal setting. For the charitable organization being honored, it provided visibility among an engaged audience. Together, those elements made the gathering a celebration of craftsmanship, generosity and the enduring art of summer entertaining. The Center for Family Services connection added another layer to the afternoon. The organization’s Old Bags Luncheon is known for bringing supporters together around philanthropy, fashion and design, making Asprey a natural partner for the Bridgehampton gathering. In that context, the objects on display were not simply luxury goods; they became part of an event built around generosity, relationships and community support.
