You'll find home goods along with some gifts for yourself or others. My wife found a very cute moose sweater for a kid (can see the picture of it). She also found a nice looking button shirt that would have been a good shirt for me. Price was a little higher than I would have hoped for the shirt but it did seem very high quality. So no real knock on that. A store worth checking out even if you plan to just browse. It's got great coastal vibes which is fitting for where it is.

I should have written this long ago but with enforced "stay at home" rules firmly in place, I've…read morebeen going through my list of unfinished reviews. This is one of them, long overdue. Most summers find my husband and me traveling up the coast of Maine and landing for some of the time in Camden. The Leather Bench is a Camden shop we always visit. They sell a beautiful array of leather goods from wallets, purses, bags, hats, jackets, boots, gloves, change purses. If a product can be made out of leather, chances are The Leather Bench has it and it will be beautiful. The store is small and packed with their products all nicely arranged. My understanding is that it is a family-owned store. The staff is helpful and welcoming. We've purchased a number of items over the years. On our last visit my husband bought two cases for his glasses and a leather change pouch. When this pandemic is behind us, I look forward to our next trip to Maine and to The Leather Bench.

That said, the products themselves have a great range of sizes, shapes, and colors! Idid try on a jacket that should have been big on me but it was way too small, so be careful because the jackets are also not true to size (which is very important when you are also paying the premium).

I expected prices to be on the higher side since this area is touristy and that assumption held true. I am sure you can find some deals depending on when you visit though.

There's not a ton of high value objects, but plenty of nostalgia and thrifty finds. We spent at least 45 minutes browsing the rows and rows and ended up walking away with a bunch of vintage political pins (which I collect). They don't have a lot of staff on hand, so there can sometimes be a wait to flag down someone to open the cases and check out, but they're all very friendly. They accept credit cards but have an old school paper tracking system; they prefer cash.

Small independent shop with lovely women's items on a side street in downtown Camden…read more There is a nice selection of lingerie and sleepwear. There is some casual wear mixed in throughout the store so you could very well come away with the perfect top, jacket or skirt too. There is a bit of jewelry as well. On our most recent visit to Camden we happened upon their "tent sale" taking place right outside the shop, There were lots of things greatly marked down so hard to resist. I bought a black and white cotten summer weight jacket that I've already worn twice, once with white slacks and just yesterday with a white skirt. There were some gorgeous undies incredibly marked down but nothing in my size so I was sadly out of luck. I can be very finicky when it comes to sleepwear and undergarments; I really want comfort and excellent quality. This place delivers some good options.

I bought some organic cotton pajamas for my 9 year old son and for myself and they are superb. The quality of the cotton is so good, wish I had a store like theirs close to home. Everything out there nowadays is synthetic, plastic, acrylic, nylon... so hard to sleep in those without sweating like a pig. My son loves the pajamas and I am definitely going back next year and hope to be able to stock up on good quality cotton sleep and underwear. Highly recommended.
