What happens when a South American living in Coconut Grove makes Istanbul a home away from home? She discovers old-world, new-world, and other-worldly beauty everywhere, and the microcosms of that beauty in clothing and jewelry created by her Istanbulite friends on the forefront of fashion and accessory design. 

Back in the Grove, the trickle of friends stopping by to check out what Susana has brought back from her most recent trip to the Aegean soon becomes a continuous parade.  “How can I accommodate all these people interested in my products” ponders Susana while staring at the jungle just beyond her poolside cabana built in 1933. Cabana Susana is conceived in that moment. 

Time for Susana to collaborate with interior designers situated on the shores of the Atlantic and the Caribbean whose creativity can incorporate the Aegean and the Mediterranean. The result? A cool oasis in the sweltering tropics showcasing carefully curated items that are timeless, innovative, and a fusion of multiple continents in a place that shares those same qualities. 

And now, that place has itself become a microcosm of a concept, a brand and a feeling that that is conjured up when you say two words: Cabana Susana.
