Puppies and Porsche — RAND Luxury Races into the Hamptons with Exclusive Auto Affair

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the 2025 Hamptons Concours, presented by Bradford Rand of RAND Luxury, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Held at the stunning Bridgehampton estate of Maria and Kenneth Fishel, this red-carpet, invite-only event combined everything I love: jaw-dropping cars, heartwarming causes, great food & drinks, and benefiting Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF).

First, let’s talk about the cars. From ultra-rare Ferraris, sleek Porsches, powerful McLarens, to timeless Aston Martins, the collection on display was worth over $100 million—and every single one of them was immaculate. Each vehicle was curated to perfection, and yes, I caught the judges scrutinizing every detail. A personal favorite was the winner of The “Sexiest Car Award,” judged by none other than Candice Bushnell (yes, the Candice from Sex and the City). The car was bright, sparkling pink with a giant BIATCH sign on the side.

When it came to libations, we were spoiled. There was Telmont Champagne, Rémy Martin’s Louis XIII private tastings, Mezcalum, Privada Añejo, and exclusive VIP tastings of The Macallan. As someone who’s loved Staple Gin for years, I was especially proud to sip their New York-made spirit—it was a full-circle moment. Coffee lovers weren’t left out either. They were serving lattes with custom Ferrari logos in the foam. It’s that kind of playful, premium detail that made the event unforgettable.

All the cocktails got me just tipsy enough to go home with a stylish new pair of Ray-Bans from OPTYX, which I was pleased to find out has a location in Manhattan. The silent auction was very tempting with all of the amazing products, and the live auction was electric—fast-paced, exciting, and full of incredible items and experiences, all going to a great cause. The energy in that tent was contagious—at one point, a guest even bought his son a trip to Tuscany! That kind of generosity and spirit summed up the vibe of the entire day.

And then came the Charity Brunch by Lessing’s—elegant, elevated, and perfectly timed to soak up those premium pours. It was the kind of brunch that makes you pause, savor, and smile.

But what truly made this day special? The heart behind it. Every dollar raised supported the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF), and yes—they brought their adoption truck on-site. Watching guests meet (and fall in love with!) the most adorable dogs and cats looking for forever homes was a real tearjerker. I may or may not have gotten misty-eyed seeing a pup curl up in the lap of their new human. Pure magic.
