New Business: Silver Spoons Brings New York Fashion To Westhampton Beach

While many of her friends were ‘hanging out,’ Liat Scaba,22, worked with her father through high school studying everything possible about fashion and business. Her hard work paid off, as she is now part owner and buyer for the new Silver Spoons Shop on Main Street in Westhampton Beach.

The new storefront is the second for Scaba’s family, which has a similar store in Brooklyn that is managed by Scaba’s older sister.

With so much success, the Scaba family, which hails from Lebanon and Israel, opted to open the second shop.

Scaba, who holds an associate’s degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and speaks six languages: Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish, French, Arabic and English, said the opportunity to manage the store is a perfect fit for her personality.

And knowing that many of her clients own summer beach homes in Westhampton, she said she goes out of her way to find merchandise that is functional and beautiful.

Speaking of her own style, she said that when she eventually purchases a home on the beach in Westhampton it will be decorated with a contemporary modern theme.

 “Westhampton is my town. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else,” she said adding that people have been very warm and welcoming.

“They appreciate my taste,” she said. "The community's reception has exceeded her expectations."

Scabe’s shop is located at 141 Main and 10 percent of all gift registry sales are donated to Brides in Need in Israel.
