Meet the Artist
Barbara Finsness lives and works on the magical island of Bermuda, where she draws inspiration from the bright colors, island cottages, flowers and sea life of this pristine, semi-tropical paradise. Barbara creates her original designs in her home studio, preferring to create them by hand at her drawing board.
Wild Nasturtiums
The Nasturtium collection arrived last year and has been one of our most popular yet. Set your own tablescape using the bold linens with matching ceramics and glassware.
Bermuda Bags
Shop our new line of cotton totes. These bags are great for everyday life as well as weekends spent in the sun.
Our Bermuda cottage cocktail platter was one of the first pieces we had in-store many years ago. We're excited to have it back again for 2024. Perfect for serving nuts, cheese and crackers or fruit, it would also make a lovely hostess or housewarming gift.
Hand painted in Italy for The Island Shop, Bermuda.
Original design by Barbara Finsness.

Sabre Paris
This French brand has been about elegance, colour and good humour since 1993, designing and creating cutlery that dazzle your eyes with color and character.
It is one of the rare gift shops on the island where the vision of the artist is so perfectly translated into objects, making the gifts almost pieces of arts. From the beginning, The Island Shop shop has been recognized as a great place for gifts, recieving numerous 'Best of Bermuda' awards.
Ever since this shop opened it has been a favorite of mine. I have not been disappointed either in the products they sell or the professionalism and friendliness of their staff. The variety is great and you will just enjoy browsing even if you don't purchase though I suspect you will find something that you must have!
The Island Shop enabled me to bring a bit Bermuda back home. Lovely handmade gifts feature Bermuda's unique cottages. My wife was delighted with the hand-stitched pillow and tea cup. A friendly staff is the cherry on this sundae.
