Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Martha's Vineyard is six towns that agree on almost nothing except the ferry schedule. Oak Bluffs has the gingerbread cottages of the Campground and the oldest platform carousel in the country. Edgartown has the whaling captains' white houses, the harbor and the lighthouse out on the point. Up-island is Chilmark's stone walls, the fishing shacks at Menemsha where the whole beach claps at sunset, and the clay cliffs at Aquinnah glowing red in the late light. In between you have the bridge on State Beach that everyone jumps off and the bike paths that connect it all.

Our Vineyard collection is drawn for people who know what 'up-island' and 'down-island' mean. The crewneck sweatshirt carries an island-outline badge in Aquinnah clay, Menemsha blue and a cream the color of a Campground porch, with the 1642 settlement year worked into the arc. The tee goes simpler, a MARTHA'S VINEYARD wordmark that works for the Oak Bluffs harbor walk or a fish sandwich in Menemsha. The mug is for the porch before the first ferry. The sticker goes on the bike.

Everything is original artwork, printed to order in the USA and shipped quickly. It is for islanders who stay through the quiet months, wash-ashores who never left, the August families who have had the same rental for decades, and anyone who still gets a small jolt of happiness when the ferry rounds West Chop.
