Description

Join Us May 6th for a Gathering of Friends at the one-and-only Maison Bodega.We've created 3 ticketed times to ease any rush or stress for those attending. Enjoy a drink at Bar Agnes on the first floor of Maison Bodega between 10-1pm provided by Ghia. After 1pm no tickets are required but we will limit the number of people shopping at any one time. New items will be added throughout the day. MISHA & PUFF - Come shop pieces from the current collections along with samples and sale items. Misha & Puff makes thoughtful knitwear to last a lifetime. Founded by stylist Anna Wallack in 2012 and inspired by New England, each collection is ethically handcrafted by a network of talented knitters and artisans using premium natural fibers and low-impact dyes — delivering beloved heirlooms for future generations. RUDY JUDE - Julie will be bringing with her items from the current collection & discounted pieces. Rudy Jude was founded by designer and native Mainer Julie O’Rourke. Our mission is to create timeless, essential clothing with the most responsible production practices. All of our fabric is sourced from mills using ONLY organic and sustainable practices. Designed in Maine by Julie and happily sewn in California. GINNY SIMS - Ginny is creating new pitchers, cups, candlesticks, egg cups, bowls and platters among other surprises for this event. I create functional and sculptural objects that are highly narrative. For inspiration, I look to different moments in ceramic history and incorporate the cultural information I find there with present day social and political experiences. ..Pottery is a reflective, invisible, critical and, for millennia, necessary material object of culture whose very existence is testament to the human being in their environment. POLKA DOT CLUB - On the cusp of new things, Jen will bring samples and close-out pieces as well as the much loved mohair teddy bears and a very special Misha & Puff Collaboration. Handmade with patience and care, the POLKA DOT CLUB is a collection of heritage toys created by second-generation teddy bear maker Jen Murphy. Each piece is made using natural materials and techniques employed by the finest toy makers over 120 years ago, all the while adding contemporary elements bringing heritage toy making into the 21st century. These are toys that pay homage to the past but are wholly modern playthings for today. They are heirlooms for now & forever. MAISON BODEGA- Maison Bodega is a 100-year-old building renovated for experimental retail, culinary events and home to creative studio creative studio Bodega Ltd. / Atelier Bodega / Salonniere
