The Story of Colleen

Classic yet free-spirited, elegant yet easygoing — Colleen is the heart behind Market Lane, a thoughtfully curated gift shop inspired by coastal beauty, timeless style, and a love of meaningful living.

Born and raised on the East Coast, she spent her summers in Southampton where days were filled with salt air, sandy toes, and the simple joys of seaside life. Later, she studied on the West Coast, where she embraced a more laid-back, bohemian sensibility — a blend of influences that  shapes her aesthetic and spirit. Her favorite escapes include Palm Springs, Nantucket, and Palm Beach — always chasing blue skies, calm waters, and beautiful memories. An active soul with a love of movement, laughter, and meaningful connections, she lives life with grace, curiosity, and an open heart.

Now raising her family in the Hamptons, she’s built a life — and a shop —rooted in intention, joy, and endless summer. With a background in education and a lifelong love of design, entertaining, and travel, Colleen brings warmth, creativity, and a touch of humor to everything she does. Whether she’s sourcing unique finds, wrapping the perfect gift, or chatting with customers, she believes in the art of thoughtful giving and living beautifully every day.

Colleen invites you to stop by, say hello, and find something special to give, keep, or cherish.
