I completely disagree with Aretha B's post above. Yes, the shop is expensive, and yes, there are a…read morelot of tourists there. But, it's on Martha's Vineyard - everything is expensive, and it's full of tourists. So you should expect to find that at Menemsha Blues just like you would anywhere else. It is similar to Black Dog, but not as big, and not as ubiquitous. I also disagree with characterizing it as a "chain." It's a local store that has several physical locations in the area. As far as their products: the quality of everything they sell is excellent. We bought several clothing items from them, and they were worth every penny. My husband seriously considers a trip back just to buy more of the polo and button-up shirts there because he loves them so much (and you can't get most of the items on their website, which is the only slight issue I have). He routinely gets stopped while wearing their items, because people like the small fish logo and it's so unusual, and they want to know where he got it. By all means, go to Menemsha Blues, and the original store in Menemsha is quite charming. If you dislike paying for quality items or buying from a store that has several locations in the area it was founded, I guess you can skip it, but you're doing yourself a disservice.

This store has been here for years, and is basically geared towards tourists, specifically rich, slender, female ones. If that's you, great, enjoy! You'll find feminine apparel, lots of dresses, pricey costume jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes, tchotchkes, some housewares (scented candles, anyone??), etc...The usual women's boutique fare. SCENT WARNING: This store offers a lot of scented items, and when we walked in, it stank to high heaven of some flowery grandma perfume that one of the employees had just stink-bombed the whole place with!! So, if you are scent-sensitive, you might want to skip this place. What would ever bring me back here? Honestly, the only time I ever go here is when my mother or a friend drags me. Otherwise, I avoid it like the plague. I know there are better deals to be had at other stores on the island, and while Menemsha (where this is actually located) doesn't have a lot of shopping options, unless you're desperate to shop, I can't really see the point. I mostly posted this review to let people know that there is NO HANDICAP ACCESS, because the front of the store has several steps.

I had bought a pair of earrings and the girl behind counter, cashier, was very pleasant. Another woman who seemed to be the manager/owner on the other hand was NOT!! You would think when someone enters your store you would say "hello, how are you". NOTHING! No acknowledgement whatsoever. Very snooty. After I made my purchase, I said goodbye, again, NOTHING. Maybe because I only spent $35.00 and didn't throw down $200.00 for a top. Very unpleasant experience!

We stumbled upon this cute shop on a visit to Menemsha in the row of shops before the marina. Most…read moreof the shops hav a 'no dogs allowed' sign on the door. We were happy to see a 'dogs welcome' sign on Beetlebung's door. We happily went in to browse with our well-behaved Welsh terrier. All the designs on the garments and jewelry are by locally artists and very unique as the shop owner explained. A very stylish lobster adorns many of the shirts for men and women. While the Menemsha store is dog friendly, we found quite a different vibe at the Oaks Bluff store. The store attendant was watching our every move and warned us when our small dog went too close to a piece of furniture (unfinished wood). We were going to buy more items, but then decided that the rude treatment was a turn off and will spend our money elsewhere.

Not just the assortment (which is definitely stale and lacking in inspiration) but most especially the owner (John). He was exceedingly unfriendly, if not rude, and not the least bit customer service oriented - so much so that my husband, who relishes in my love of shopping, walked out of the store. I would never go back. I needed new Havianas and a hat - which can easily be purchased elsewhere. I do not support any small or local business that is not warm, welcoming or appreciative of their clientele. Ditto for the french hair goods and oodles of Madagascar bags I scooped up last year for myself and all my friends! No wonder the Menemsha coffee house and Oak Bluffs restaurant shuttered!

Smith polarized shades, OluKai sandals and deck shoes at 50% off web prices (assuming it's last year's fleet for feet?) and a barrage of boards of the knee and surf variety, along with staff experts in sizing, strapping and stabilizing your next aquatic addiction. The girl landed some sweet sun wear and a pair of kicks, and I dropped the ball on picking up my OluKais, but it's easy to pop back in being centrally located in Vineyard Haven's downtown stretch. On a budget? Outlet items are scattered along the rear of the store and in a designated spot on the downstairs level. Save ten, brah!
