A combination of old wood, dog, a recent fire and lots of leather. Perhaps an unusual and unexpected olfactory juxtaposition but a surprising pleasant one. Almost intoxicating. The sign outside has a picture of a leather punch on it and leaves no doubts or ambiguity about the main purpose of this store. Lots of leather items and tools scattered around and the people here deal with leather with confidence and skill. They can whip you up a belt, jacket or just about anything else in leather with ridiculous ease, skill and speed. Besides the leather goods the store also has a menagerie of other fascinating things. Exquisite glass pieces and unique and distinctive Xmas ornaments or beautiful lamps grace the ceiling and walls. Clocks, time pieces, strange dolls and even some scrimshaw add to the evocative and visual stimulation. A great place to visit on a cold Nantucket day. Nice warm fire, friendly and knowledge people and an even a happy dog to great you. A unique and anachronistic shop that will excite all of your senses and imagination. Places like this are unfortunately quickly becoming distant memories. A place to pet a friendly dog warm your butt by a fire or see some incredible crafts.

I always take my friends who haven't been to the island and they fall in love with Whatever as well. I've even had to email them to order pieces that were admired for my friends. I've never had jewelry from the store that I didn't receive compliments on and I've never purchased something that was sub par and that turned colors given proper care. Many people don't know what it takes to care for silver.

Since writing my review yesterday of the North Star glass gallery, I have not been able to stop…read morethinking of a quaint little gift shop that I have visited many times in Nantucket because the beautiful and colorful glass is what first drew me inside. Through the years I have collected many things, from antiques to sports memorabilia with Norman Rockwell in between, enough so that I could probably open my own shop. Call me a pack rat, if you will, but my fascination with glass catches every one's eyes. I once had a comment from a visitor coming along as a date with our male friend and he commented on my paperweight collection and she said, oh you can buy those at Target, Ha! I buy nothing unless it is signed or marked and if it has papers, all the better. It is here at the Beach Glass of Nantucket that I bought my one and only extra large "paperweight". It measures 11" wide by 10" tall and 4' deep and is the most gorgeous sunset scene! It weighs a ton and they would have shipped it for me to Pennsylvania, but I decided I would rather get it home myself. While we spent the day touring the island and having lunch, they went out of their way to package it safely. The artist is well known and it is Murano glass and from Oggetti, Italy. I paid $1,500.00 and the artist passed away shortly after, probably because he heard how much I paid for the piece, just kidding. I have it sitting in a downstairs window that catches a lot of light with my dozen and a half smaller paperweights surrounding it. Good glass paperweights are a real work of art to me because of the pain staking details they bring together to make gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenes. This shop does sell a lot of glass, some of it is cheap, so you do have to look. They have the coolest note cards decorated beautifully by local artists. They also have local artisans who hand craft jewelry and artists who paint beautiful scenes on glass goblets and flower vases. The shop is small but loaded with gems, you just have to take the time to look. Nantucket is like stepping back in time... Until you see the prices. Not wheelchair accessible.

I went into the store in Oak Bluffs casually looking for jewelry and I walked out with an amazing…read moresterling silver bracelet. The man at the counter (the owner) was friendly but not overbearing, and every piece of jewelry in the cases were 50% off. Even if this were a gimmicky way of making you feel like you're getting a great deal, I still felt like it was a bargain. I fell in love with a bracelet but didn't want to commit on impulse, so I asked when they closed to see if I could come back. It was almost 6 and he told me they technically "close" at 6, but that he had some merchandising to do and would probably keep the shop open a bit late. He also gave me his cell phone number and said I could call and if I was interested in anything and he could ship it to me. One of the bracelets that I tried on was uncomfortable and he told me that he is also a silversmith and would be happy to fix it for me, free of charge, if I wanted the bracelet. I am sure he was just trying to make a sale, but the fact that he went out of his way to make sure I could get what I wanted really made an impression on me! I ended up going back to purchase the bracelet later that evening and the shop was still open. He stayed late to make sure the bracelet was fully polished before I walked out the door with it. Overall, I think Slight Indulgence is a great place to shop on the Vineyard, just from my experience buying jewelry alone. I didn't even get a chance to really look at their clothes and other accessories, but upon walking in I saw a billion things that I loved. Next time I'm in the Vineyard, I'll be back!

This store is what my dad would call a "clip joint!" It has a nice window display, and when you go…read moreinside, the owners are super-friendly, asking you all sorts of (semi-intrusive) person questions about where you're from, where you're staying, how long, what you do for a living, etc. They're masters of The Shmooze, trying to relax you into thinking they're your friends. This could be seen as a lovely quality, but when it comes down to it, their goods are horribly over-priced! And even worse? The pricing isn't exactly straight-forward. Allow me to explain: Every summer, I walk into this store to see if anything has changed. And every year I'm greeted by the same "50% Off Jewelry!" sale signs prominently littering the very long jewelry display case that runs the entire length of the store. But if you look closer, in small letters, they've written that this sale only pertains to "select items"...and then when it gets down to it, it never seems to be the item that I ask to see! The prices are really high for sterling silver jewelry, by my experience, over twice what comparable items are priced at at similar stores in other towns on the Island...so it would make sense for the 50%-off sale gimick, if the items really are marked down... But I have yet to find any item there that the owner told me was on sale. I'm sure there ARE some, but it must be a very small selection that could easily be consolidated to one part of the sprawling display case without all the excessive, misleading red-inked sale signs all over the place! I'm not going to go as far as saying it's a bait-and-switch, but it also doesn't feel on the up-and-up. I haven't bought anything here as a result. They also have an abbreviated selection of women's beach-worthy clothing and shoes...maybe people will have better luck with these items? But they are also rather pricey for what they are made of and how they are made. This is a typical tourist trap store. But, I guess, if you have a lot of disposable income and prices don't matter that much to you, you may have a different impression of this place?
