Shopping Essentials: Nantucket Red And Lightship Baskets
One can't go to Nantucket without acquiring either an item that is Nantucket red or a Nantucket Lightship Basket, both signatures of the island. Murray's Toggery Shop in town is home to lots of Nantucket red, selling every piece of preppy clothing imaginable in the island's signature, nautical, washed red, but the color can be found in almost every other store on the island as well. Nantucket Lightship Baskets are of historic significance to the island and absolutely beautiful, featured on keychains, home decor, and jewelry. Found in many stores throughout town, Nantucket's signature basket is classic, whether as the dainty charm on a necklace or reproduced as a beautiful basket for your home.
