For all the sandy Hamptons coverage you can take, check out Gridskipper at the Beach, revving up this Thursday.

While Memorial Day weekend is the real green light for the beachgoing masses, Racked's eager and well-tanned correspondents are already on the Hamptons scene. Today, we have word that Ralph Lauren's Rugby store has just opened at 32 Main Street in East Hampton. Although you'll have to wait 'til Thursday for the big G'skip at the Beach reveal, we've got a tantalizing teaser for you: Above, a tote only available in the East Hampton shop, made from a salvaged sailboat sail ($295). Will it be the bag of the season? A very important question, people.
