Having been designated an official Main Street Community in 2001 as well as being twice recognized as one of the 100 Best Small Cities in America, Bath—or “The City of Ships”—has been undergoing a steady revitalization for decades now.
No longer only a blip on your GPS as you pass by on your way elsewhere, Bath is becoming a destination unto itself, offering tourists and locals alike a growing list of amenities such as museums, restaurants, lodging—and shopping.
If you are feeling energetic and have some substantial wardrobe revamping to accomplish, you could easily spend an entire day visiting—on foot—just the clothing stores in and around the city’s center. Almost all are within walking distance of each other, each just a block or two away from the next—so bring your reusable shopping bags and some comfy walking shoes.

Paul Landry Nautical Goods
Featuring a cozy, classic cache of “classic New England apparel dedicated to exploring and having fun,” this bespoke collection was created for those that prefer to be outdoors—and want to be supremely comfortable (and preppily stylish) while doing so.
Made-by-hand, crazy-soft crewneck sweaters, sweatshirts, accessories, and t-shirts featuring Maine-centric images are what these folks are all about—so for a real memento of your visit to Bath, don’t just grab a cheaply-made-in-another-country, poorly manufactured t-shirt to bring home…because when you buy any of the handmade apparel at Paul Landry’s, you’re buying a wearable heirloom.

House of Logan
With two other locations in Maine (Camden and Boothbay Harbor), the House of Logan is a household name in the area for classic, high-quality clothing for the whole family.
The store’s roots can be traced back to Boothbay Harbor in 1928 when it opened as “The Old Curiosity Shop.” Since then, the House of Logan has been firmly established as both a trustworthy name in traditional, well-made apparel as well as an establishment where you know you’ll get personalized, friendly customer service.
You can also find a generous selection of affordable gift items, accessories, and home goods here.

Just tell the helpful staff what your preferences are and they’ll guide you to your wardrobe happy place.
The store’s name matches its vibe, as do all of the other products on offer here; you’ll have no problem finding not only a unique new outfit, but also the perfect footwear, jewelry, and accessories to put forth the fashion statement you didn’t know you wanted to make.

Sweet Escape is another alternative to chintzy, shabbily-made, wearable souvenirs.

Pitter Patter, Inc.
With a name like “Pitter Patter” (or “the sound of happy,” as declared on the website) it should come as no surprise that this is a children’s clothing shop.
Ranging from items for premature babies all the way up to kids’ size 12, some of the high-quality brands you’ll find at Pitter Patter include Burt’s Bees Baby, Little Green Radicals, Angel Dear, Jellycat, and Me & Henry.
In addition to clothing, this well-stocked store also carries toys, accessories, baby gear, books, and blankets—and they also have a helpful gift registry, perfect for showers or birthdays.

Reny’s
No writeup on shopping in Bath would be complete without mention of Reny’s—which is, according to their slogan and jingle, “A Maine Adventure.”
And if you’re trying to keep your whole family affordably and comfortably outfitted, look no further than this Maine fixture; rugged, outdoors-friendly footwear, socks, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, and accessories can all be found here, and for budget-friendly prices.

Peace House Studio
This bespoke clothing company is run entirely by a husband-wife duo; all of their children’s apparel is made by hand in their workshop using only organic cotton fabric.
The best part about Peace House is that, beyond providing beautifully made, high quality clothing, they also offer the “Patches Project,” a buy-back program for Peace House Studio clothing that your kids have outgrown (which they seem to do after just one wearing), worn out, or damaged.
If the item can’t be repaired for resale, it will be cut up and reused to create a new garment. It’s a great way to be planet friendly—because, as declared on their home page, “little feet leave big carbon footprints.”

Lisa-Marie’s Made in Maine
As the name implies, everything you’ll find in this store (and in their second location in Portland) is handcrafted or manufactured right in the Pine Tree State—so if you’re looking for a well-made, Maine-centric, wearable keepsake from your visit to Bath, this is the place.
There’s something for the whole family at Lisa-Marie’s: Toasty-warm, first Maine flag beanie? They’ve got them. Lobster-themed golf shirts, hoodies, and t-shirts? Yup. Moose socks and ball caps? Ayuh.
And you’ll find plenty of other items on offer here, too—accessories, books, treats, and a vast collection of home goods…all made in Maine, of course.

Some of the brands carried here include Anita, Cosabella, Fleurt, P.J. Harlow, Ramblers Way, Yala, and Yummie Tummie, among many more. In addition to the luxurious lines of intimates, the professional staff at Over the Moon provides expert bra fitting services; there are also product options for those who have undergone breast surgery as well as nursing mothers.
