My Favorite Things

Perched above the Mediterranean in the cliffs of Positano, Le Sirenuse hotel is one of those heavenly spots that lingers pleasantly in the mind. Maintaining the destination’s singular atmosphere is a labor of love for Carla Sersale, who, along with her husband, Antonio, and their family, run the Amalfi Coast destination with love and exacting standards. Patrons, in turn, come back for generations. And now anyone can bring a bit of that magic home, thanks to Sersale’s clothing-and-décor label, Emporio Sirenuse, which, celebrated for its colorful prints and breezy designs, “is inspired by the sights, sounds, and sunsets” of the hotel and its sublime setting. Herewith, she reveals the items that she loves most right now.
