Bright, unique gift ideas from Orange Bay Company

Perhaps it’s the person who seems to have everything; perhaps it’s someone with very particular tastes; or perhaps it’s someone who deserves a unique gift to reflect how special they are.

Living on a small island with a limited retail scene can make the task of playing Santa that even more challenging.

To find the perfect gift, consider taking a trek off the beaten shopping path to check out Orange Bay Company’s showroom on Mill Creek Road (next to ESC Ltd). 

Value

Here you will find a unique and ever-changing inventory of gently-used furniture, artwork and accent pieces, along with a growing selection of vintage designer clothing and footwear.

Founded in 2009, Orange Bay Company is a relative newcomer to Bermuda’s retail landscape but has built up a loyal following among those who appreciate its one-of-a-kind nature. 

Proprietors Delight and Rudolph Morris take pride in hand-selecting all the items in store for their quality and value. 

Here you will find everything from original framed artwork to designer handbags and antique furniture.

Mr Morris said: “We take care to only buy or consign pieces that are in good condition and that we enjoy and would be proud to have in our home or closet. 

“Most of what we carry may be second-hand, but it’s absolutely first-rate in terms of quality and condition.”

This Christmas, how about a beautiful tea service for Granny? Real Louis Vuitton luggage for your husband’s next business trip? A cedar sideboard for your sister’s new home? 

These are typical of the items that have found their way into Orange Bay Company’s consignment gallery.

The store offers a special shopping experience — not just because of the merchandise it carries, but also because a part of each dollar you spend at Orange Bay Company gets returned to the community.

Ms Morris said: “Orange Bay Company was founded on a philosophy of promoting better living in everything we do. 

“That means helping to make beautiful, designer pieces affordable to just about everyone.

“From The Gap to Gucci, Lilly Pulitzer, Louis Vuitton, Banana Republic, J Crew, Prada, Benetton, we are not label-conscious.

“But it also means using our business to help give back to those in our community who are less fortunate.”

Orange Bay Company donates a portion of their annual profits to local charities. It also spearheads a major fundraiser each year for organizations such as the Salvation Army and the Sunshine League.

So, in addition to feeling good about finding the perfect gift for your special someone, you can also feel good about where you’re spending your hard-earned cash this holiday season.

Orange Bay Company, 4 Mill Creek Road, Pembroke.  The showroom is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm. For more information visit www.orangebaycompany.com or call 295-5400.
