‘Splash of Pink’ on Elm Street Closes

By |

Lilly Pulitzer Splash of Pink, an Elm Street shop featuring women’s clothing and apparel, closed its doors this week after seven years, according to its owner. The retailer is “incredibly grateful to our loyal New Canaan customers for their support, friendships, and enthusiasm over the years,” Amy Cesaratto said. “While we will miss being part of the New Canaan community, we hope you’ll continue to shop with us at our beautifully renovated Westport location,” she said in an email. Cerasatto also thanked Wendy Probert, the New Canaan store’s manager “whose endless enthusiasm, warm smile, and genuine commitment to helping every customer made our New Canaan store feel like home.”

“Wendy will now be part of our Westport team and would be delighted to welcome the many friends and customers from her New Canaan family who she came to know and love,” Cesaratto said. Amy and Marc Cesaratto opened the first-ever Lilly Pulitzer store in Westport in 2003. 

“We look forward to seeing familiar faces in Westport and continuing to serve you for many years to come,” Amy Cerasatto said in the email.
