By Brittany Siddle
tTucked between swaying palmettos amid salt-infused sunshine, Bermuda’s shopping scene reflects centuries of history and culture in every purchase. From intimate markets to buzzing boutiques, the bounty of items on display allows visitors to feel and see the island’s rich heritage first-hand. Every shop tells a story, inviting visitors to step into the world of island commerce and discover the deeply rooted history that continues to shape the island’s retail experience.
Today’s shoppers aren’t simply seeking an island memory – they long for a connection to Bermuda’s past, where traditional craftsmanship and local customs seamlessly blend with modern trends.
Artisan finds are prominent across Bermuda’s retail scene, with beautifully handmade crafts, jewellery, and fragrances inspired by the island’s natural elements. Bermuda’s tale began in the early 1500s when Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez discovered the archipelago whilst sailing the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Unbeknownst to its first visitors, Bermuda’s naturally rich resources would include luscious flora and fauna along with the Bermuda cedar tree, pink-sandy beaches, and charming blue waters — all of which would later go on to inspire the very jewellery worn, art admired, and fragrances used today.
Bermuda’s bling is entirely unique, allowing modern consumers to value the artistry behind every purchase. Today, many shops offer a glimpse into Bermudian life with the perfect ode to the island’s discovery five centuries prior. For a unique take on accessorising, visit Walker Christopher Goldsmiths
— well known for their collection of authentic coins, including gold doubloons and silver pieces of eight salvaged from sunken galleons, which they mount on pendants, earrings, and cuff links. Davidrose Studio, located in the hub of Hamilton, offers many collections with one titled the Ocean Collection. Pieces are inspired by the vastness of our oceans with necklaces, rings, and bracelets displaying a striking range of turquoise hues. Visitors are drawn to these pieces inspired by Bermuda’s natural beauty.
Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery will transport you straight to the beach with jewellery infused with Bermuda’s famous pink sand. This striking colour is caused by tiny marine organisms known as red forams whose particles naturally blend with the island’s limestone, coral, and shell sediments, leaving our shores speckled with pink. Also available are intricate hibiscus necklaces, sand-dollar rings, and Bermuda longtail pendants to help you vividly recall the island’s shores and its many muses.
The leisurely lifestyle in Bermuda leaves both locals and visitors on island time.
Strolling the spirited streets of Hamilton, Bermuda’s active city centre, you’ll find a generous amount of jewellery and accessory stores to pop into for various selections of fine gems, ornamental sentiments, and diamond delectables — all with a unique Bermudian flair. And afterwards, when you’re ready to head back to your fast-paced lifestyle, consider buying a watch from Crisson Jewellers. Boasting authentic and advanced technology, assorted luxurious brands are on display and waiting for you to model, including the Rolex, Raymond Weil, Bulova, and Citizen collections.
But make no mistake — it’s not all about jewellery! We’ve just scratched the surface of what Bermuda has to offer. Whether you love the smell of ocean spray, honeysuckle florals, or fire-roasted rum, the perfect Bermudian fragrance is waiting for you.
Lili Bermuda is a local perfumery that pays homage to Bermuda’s long-standing heritage through enchanting island scents sought after in everyday life. With inspiration drawn from Sir George Somers, an English privateer and naval captain of the Sea Venture which wrecked on the island’s shores in 1609, a celebratory cologne was created for Bermuda’s first founder, titled Somers. Top notes include bergamot and cardamom with hearty notes of

dark rum, cedar, and tonka bean. The sweet and woody aroma transcends boundaries for a contemporary take on a momentous time in Bermuda’s history. With His & Her collections available to sample, these island-inspired fragrances can be purchased islandwide.
The Bermuda Fragrance Collection, also available throughout Bermuda, draws on the island’s natural elements, with perfumes inspired by our summer nights, fruity florals, and salty air. If you’re shopping in Hamilton, visit 59 Front for a bottle. What better way to travel back in time after your incredible trip than with your favourite island scent?
Visitors with an appreciation for woodworking will not want to miss out on these unique souvenirs crafted from Bermuda cedarwood. Known as a resilient force of nature, the Bermuda cedar has historical value, as this endemic tree was once prized by shipbuilders due to its natural resistance to rot and woodworms. Laws have been in place since the 1600s to preserve this species, and today you can bring home your own pristine cedar items, including furniture, relics, and intricate crafts.
The Littlest Drawbridge Gift Shop and Bermuda Craft Market in Royal Naval Dockyard offer an artistic approach to cedar carvings. However, trinkets with cedar tracings are sold across the island and can be found in many Hamilton shops like Brown & Co., Flying Colours, and Lookie Lookie. These creations serve as tangible links to the island’s legacy while also meeting the desires of a contemporary audience looking for a unique, meaningful purchase.
When it comes to island apparel, few pieces are as iconic and enduring as the classic Bermuda short. From as early as the 20th century, tea shop owner and native Bermudian Nathanial Coxon cut and hemmed his employees’ khakis, altering the uniform to make the stifling summer months more bearable. This style was quickly adapted and made into a practical uniform for British colonial officers stationed in Bermuda during World War I, evolving into a symbol of both professional polish and relaxed tropical flair.
TABS Bermuda is a must-visit shop for securing your own pair of Bermuda shorts with an array of pastel hues to pick from, including classic powdered pinks, mint greens, pale blues, and balmy yellows. This iconic store provides the perfect selection, bringing a cheerful vitality to your everyday look while offering the traditional kneehigh sock to pair with. While this was once merely functional, it now serves as a nod to Bermuda’s heritage and refined style.
The original Bermuda shorts were sold in Hamilton at The English Sports Shop in 1918, and to this day, you can still purchase refined Bermuda shorts tailored to your everyday needs. Over the years, the Bermudashort-and-sock combination has seamlessly adapted to more modern tastes, maintaining
its distinctive aesthetic while evolving into a trendy yet professional wardrobe staple. This is precisely what makes this look a standout example of how island attire can withstand the test of time. Bermuda shorts are a statement of identity and pride worn by many Bermudians and non-Bermudians alike, offering visitors the chance to wear a piece of the island’s history. Those seeking a high-fashioned boutique experience can step into Lusso for colourful resort-wear designs that will leave your style refreshed and radiant. A generous Lilly Pulitzer collection presents island-infused patterns that pay tribute to the flora and fauna that cascade over much of the island, and there is an intimate sandal collection by designer Jack Rogers perfect for adding a feminine touch to your island experience. Passers-by will awe at the lavish accessories paraded in the shop windows, as Lusso also sells designer handbags and eye-catching belts and shoes from stylists including Moschino, Fendi, and Ferragamo.

Look no further — Shiona Turini is the eye behind the stars, leaving her mark as an editorial and stylist mastermind.
Words by Brittany Siddle
Named 2024’s Stylist of the Year by Harlem’s Fashion Row, Bermudian Shiona Turini is flaunting her stylistic choices across red carpets, big screens, and stages alike. As a brand consultant, stylist, and costume designer, she has been in the industry for over a decade, bringing her exceptional eye for fashion, design, and flair to some of the most iconic figures in entertainment.
Turini’s experience spans multiple corners of the fashion world, with her professional career beginning at Yves Saint Laurent as the public relations coordinator. She first became interested in all things fashion during her time growing up in Bermuda, where she would spend countless time watching her mother and aunts get dressed and learning how to sew on her late grandmother’s sewing machine. Today, Turini sports the same gold bangles her mother used to wear as a reminder of where she comes from and what ignited her passion for fashion all those years back.
The stylist’s whirlwind career first flourished when she began contributing to mainstream publications, including Elle
magazine and Condé Nast Traveller, which inspired her to launch a freelance career with a focus on editorial and commercial styling. Turini’s impressive portfolio across print and digital media includes styling stars for renowned editorials, such as Issa Rae in Vanity Fair, Willow Smith in Allure, and Daniel Kaluuya in The New York Times
Beyond the pages of esteemed magazines, she has also lent her talents to music videos, television, and advertisements to create memorable, fashionforward moments that resonate with audiences around the world. Popular television series like Insecure and Lady in the Lake have enabled Turini’s knack for fashion to truly shine in the spotlight with opportunities to work on commercials, including Beats by Dre, Nike, and Bermuda Tourism Authority ads.
Known for her work with Beyoncé in particular, Turini styled the 35-time Grammy winner during her Renaissance World Tour as well as in her “Formation” music video. As evidenced by her impressive portfolio, Turini has left an indelible mark on the fashion world with her ability to curate looks that elevate even the highest of stars.
Her impact on the fashion world extends beyond styling
In a recent collaboration with Davidrose Studio, Turini styled Beyoncé with pieces from their signature Ocean Collection.
A-list celebrities: She also shines a spotlight on Bermudian brands. In a recent collaboration with Davidrose Studio, Turini styled Beyoncé with pieces from their signature Ocean Collection. Beyoncé later posted a photo of herself wearing Davidrose Studio’s Drop of the Ocean Cocktail Ring on her Instagram account, giving the local luxury jeweller a global stage. This collaboration further cemented Bermuda’s influence in the world of fashion and fine jewellery.
Turini was the winner of the 2024 Diamond Influence Award, and most recently she won the Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Short Form Design for her work on “Can’t B Broken” in collaboration with Beyoncé and Verizon.
Developing powerful fashion statements is second nature for Turini, and her work is a testament to her creative vision and unmatched stylistic skills. Her Bermudian roots keep her grounded as she continues to level up in her career, seamlessly blending cultural influences with global fashion trends. Turini’s journey is not only a celebration of her exceptional talent but a powerful reminder of how heritage and innovation can shape the future of fashion.
For a more personalised retail experience, you can design your very own sandal at Della Valle Sandals on Queen Street in Hamilton. Their beautiful leather footwear is crafted from 100 percent Italian materials and customised to your preferences, with the option to incorporate gemstones, coloured straps, or Bermudian wildlife pendants to your very sandal. Tucked away in a cosy side shop, this distinctive retail delicacy will inspire you to think of Bermuda’s paradise with every step you take through this cultural canvas many call home.
If you are on the hunt for authentic island finds or a local supporting homegrown talent, visit Lookie Lookie within Washington Mall — Bermuda’s curated shopping destination highlighting locally crafted products and oneof-a-kind artisan treasures.
If you’re seeking smaller sentimental items but still want to experience Bermuda’s vibrant retail scene, pay a visit to Harbour Nights, a 30-year tradition that happens from 7 to 10 p.m. every Wednesday from May 14 through August 27. On these evenings, vendors gather on the famed Front Street for a night market
where locals and tourists come together to enjoy the harmonious atmosphere while also supporting small businesses.
Enriched in historical prominence, Clocktower Shopping Mall is in Royal Naval Dockyard, which was originally built in the 19th century for the British Royal Navy with two 100-foot towers, restored cobblestone floors, and iron
pillar additions. Now home to more than 20 local businesses, when you shop here, your retail excursion is rooted in history spanning hundreds of years. With environmental integrity in mind, Marvalan’s Handbags and Accessories can be found inside the mall, selling vegan handbags, handmade jewellery, and other fashion statement pieces.
A short stroll down Camber Road brings you to Jon Faulkner Pottery, where master craftsmanship meets Bermudian heritage. This inviting, contemporary studio showcases an extensive collection of salt-glazed, wheel-thrown pottery, with new shapes and designs constantly emerging. Some pieces even hold a historical connection, such as the Bartmann jugs — replicas of bottles recovered from the 1609 shipwreck of the Sea Venture. For a one-of-a-kind keepsake, Faulkner’s handmade Bermuda rockpool is a stunning choice. The soft interior, awash with hues of blue, mirrors the fluidity of the Atlantic Ocean and is contrasted by a hard exterior, resemblant of the limestone that makes up Bermuda’s coastline.
No matter what you’re shopping for, don’t miss the chance to take home a piece of Bermuda’s soul, carefully crafted by talented local vendors.

St. George’s East End
Wandering through the charming streets and alleyways of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. George’s offers a shopping experience unlike any other, steeped in centuries of history. Situated at Bermuda’s easternmost tip, St. George’s was the island’s first settlement in 1609, following the wreck of the Sea Venture, and served as Bermuda’s original capital before the title shifted to Hamilton in 1815.
Today, the town is brimming with unique shops and boutiques, many housed in historic buildings, each with its own fascinating story. Alongside Bermuda’s department store branches and souvenir shops, you’ll discover a treasure trove of local artistry — from handmade sea glass jewellery and bohemianinspired apparel to beauty products and gifts from the U.K. and Europe.
A visit to St. George’s wouldn’t be complete without experiencing The Lili Bermuda Perfumery. Located at Stewart Hall, this internationally renowned couture perfume house offers the perfect opportunity to discover and take home a signature Bermuda fragrance.
Bermuda’s eateries provide the perfect complement to its retail offerings, with the island’s culinary scene providing a rich blend of flavours influenced by island heritage and international zest.
The Town of St. George is brimming with unique shops and boutiques, many housed in historic buildings.
Dine amongst the greats and step into history at Fourways Inn & Restaurant, one of Bermuda’s oldest dining establishments, housed in an 18th-century traditional Bermuda building with limestone walls, arches, cedar beams, and lush surrounding gardens. A meal at Fourways is more than just a culinary experience — it’s a journey back in time, made even more enchanting
by the sounds of a live pianist setting the perfect ambience for an unforgettable evening.
With its unique blend of cultures, the island is home to multiple cuisines for you to try, and a fair number are available right in Hamilton. If you’re looking to catch a sporting game, you won’t be short of pubs to stop in for a quick pint on tap. The Front Yard, Bermuda Bistro at the Beach, and Game On Sports Bar & Grill offer delectable burgers and gastrostyle meals suitable for all dietary needs.
For a more intimate meal under soft lighting, try the latest outdoor spot at Clarabell’s to enjoy an Italian wood-fired pizza or venture back in time and sit in at Little Venice, Bermuda’s first Italian restaurant with over 50 years of Italian specialties on the menu.
For tobacco enthusiasts, finding the perfect cigar to unwind with at the end of the day is effortless in Bermuda. Chatham House, the
island’s premier specialty tobacconist, offers a selection of renowned brands such as Cohiba, H. Upmann, Montecristo, and more.
For added convenience, Cuarenta Bucaneros provides another top-tier cigar experience, offering delivery straight to your accommodations in Bermuda or international shipping, ensuring you can enjoy a premium smoke wherever you are.
With Bermuda’s maritime heritage spanning five centuries, the island has naturally evolved into a haven for the global maritime community. Offshore sailors, particularly those competing in transatlantic regattas — including the renowned 635-mile Newport to Bermuda race — find comfort within Bermuda’s ports thanks to its warm hospitality and island spirits. Maritime racers are often greeted on the dock with Bermuda’s national cocktail, the Rum Swizzle, as a grand welcome served to reward the tough days out at sea.
With the original Rum Swizzle created in 1932, you can head to Bailey’s Bay to try the famous cocktail at Bermuda’s very own Swizzle Inn, Bermuda’s oldest pub (circa 1650) where locals and visitors flock for a sip of delicious history. Since then, however, many similar adaptations of the drink have surfaced. You can purchase a bottle of 9 Parishes Rum Swizzle across most liquor and grocery stores on the island, a locally hand-mixed and bottled beverage offering a welcoming respite for sailors and travellers alike.
Discovery Wines & Spirits, a boutique retailer, also offers a wide range of spirits, liquors, and wines enjoyed across the island. Bermuda is also home to Bacardi Limited, the world’s largest privately held spirits company, adding to the island’s rich history of fine beverages.
Crown Point Food Delivery and Pronto Retail and Grocery Delivery are two of the island’s top grocery services, providing reliable services and high-quality products to keep you well stocked and comfortable throughout your stay.
Bermuda serves as both a sanctuary and a hub, catering to the diverse needs of its visitors with maritime charm, historical specialities, and timeless fashion trends. Now, you have everything you need to make your perfect list of things to do –and buy!
With so many retail options, you’re sure to find just what you’re looking for in Bermuda. Here are our top picks for the best places to shop.

When marine archaeologists uncovered a 150-year-old perfume bottle from the wreck of the Mary Celestia, it offered a rare glimpse — and scent — into the past.
Words by Robyn Bardgett
The sea around Bermuda has long been celebrated for its many treasures both natural and manmade. While the waters around the island were once well known as the “Shipwreck Capital of the Atlantic,” a treacherous graveyard notorious for claiming ships, these past misfortunes have left behind a rich maritime history. With so many sites to explore, divers have long travelled to the island seeking to experience the underwater wonders Bermuda has to offer.
In 2011, marine archaeologists excavated part of one of those wrecks: the infamous Mary Celestia, a blockade runner known to transport banned goods for the Confederacy. The vessel once made regular trips, slipping through the Union’s blockade from Southern U.S. ports to reach Bermuda and ports in the Bahamas. It was in 1864 that the Mary Celestia met its untimely end, sinking off Bermuda’s South Shore after hitting a boiler reef. Lying in about 55 feet of water approximately 600 yards off the southern coast, the wreck ended up revealing incredible
treasures, including a bottle of wine, shoes, and two bottles of perfume.
While any artefacts recovered from Bermuda’s shipwrecks become the property of the Bermuda government, the intriguing bottles of fragrance, embossed with the names Piesse and Lubin London, were first entrusted to expert local perfumer Isabelle RamsayBrackstone. Renowned for her craft, Ramsay-Brackstone has spent years creating signature Bermuda fragrances, drawing inspiration from the island’s rich scents and natural beauty. These exquisite creations are available at The Lili Bermuda Perfumery. Though one of the recovered bottles had been destroyed by seawater, the other offered up a sensory time capsule: a scent of the past featuring the fragrance of orange, bergamot, and grapefruit mingled with faint notes of floral and sandalwood. Working alongside fellow perfumer and friend Jean Claude Delville, Ramsay-Brackstone set off on a journey to meticulously re-create the 150-year-old fragrance. Through careful analysis and advanced scent detection technology, the pair were able to bring to life a fragrance that evoked the scents of royalty from a time when only the nobility wore perfume.
Lili Bermuda’s Mary Celestia perfume hearkens back to the original fragrance with the smell of sparkling grapefruit and zesty citrus. The scent of rosewood is complemented by warm amber tones, and the soft notes of rose and orange flower impart timeless elegance for the modern wearer. With this unique scent, perfume enthusiasts can hold a piece of Bermudian history in their collection.

The sunny yellow Bermuda buttercup flower (Oxalispes-caprae) is a low-growing perennial that can easily be spotted when it flowers annually throughout Bermuda during the months of March through September. Originating in South Africa, the Bermuda buttercup was first introduced to the island in the late 1800s as an ornamental plant and is a member of the wood sorrel family and not related to true buttercups.
The Bermuda buttercup is easily identifiable by its bright yellow flowers and delicate clover-shaped green leaves that grow in groups of three and are typically 12 inches high. The leaves are also sometimes spotted with purple. The five-petalled trumpet-like flowers are bright yellow and range from 0.75 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Each plant typically bears 20 or fewer flowers which open during the daytime and close at night when the temperature cools.
The Bermuda buttercup likes neutral to slightly acidic soil, with a preference for full or partial sunlight. It was first introduced to Bermuda for use in flower gardens but has escaped into the wild and can occasionally be found naturalised in unmanaged spaces like un-mowed lawns, fields and roadsides. Today, it continues to be cultivated as an ornamental flower but can also commonly be admired growing in full sunlight throughout coastal areas or further inland, primarily in shady areas.

It all began centuries ago when sailors were fortifying barrels of sherry with fiery hot peppers. This all-purpose seasoning was used to mask the taste of rancid shipboard rations. Not exactly an alluring origin — and perhaps calling them “Peppered Sherry” would have been more precise — but that’s history! In 1964, Yeaton Duval Outerbridge brewed up a batch of Bermuda Sherry Peppers for the Harbourfront Restaurant in Hamilton. Demand was immediate from locals and visitors alike. Since then, Outerbridge’s Original has become synonymous with sherry peppers and is a staple of restaurants and pantries in Bermuda and around the world. Customarily used to enhance Bermuda fish chowder, they offer several blends of sherry and rum that are sensational in soups and stews, as well as many other dishes. Also, try their Rum Swizzle Mix, Bermuda’s national drink that the Outerbridge family helped originate, as well as their Bloody Mary Fix, Swashbuckling Steak Sauce, Sizzling Soy Sauce, and other condiments.
