NICC Fall Fashion Show for the Win!

Happy Halloween! In the spirit of costuming, we’d like to highlight The Rainbow Fleet’s participation in this year’s Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce Fall Fashion Show, which took place on October 7th. With our costumes created through The Rainbow Fleet, we won 3rd Place! Woohoo!

Consignment Break!

We are taking a hiatus from accepting new consignments at the moment. We will begin accepting fall items in July. In the meantime, please stop in to see what we have for you to enjoy the amazing weather that has begun!

Spring Daffodil Time!

Spring Break is almost here (we’ll be open the same hours as usual), and the Daffodil Festival is not far behind!

Here at The Rainbow Fleet, we’ve got you covered — set yourself up for a weekend of wearing the best florals, yellows, oranges and greens. With so much to do on island, we can help to make sure you’re well dressed for the festivities!

Thursday, April 27th — Flower Crown Party @ the Dreamland Theater
Friday, April 28th — Flower Power Party @ The Whaling Museum
Saturday, April 29th — 47th Nantucket Antique Car Parade & Tailgate Picnic, and Nantucket Daffodil Festival Hat Pageant

Also, beginning April 24th, we will be open again on Mondays!

Spring Flowers, Summer Sunbeams

Is it starting to feel more like spring to you, too? The rain is here and though the temperatures are remaining chilly for the most part, they won’t be for long! Make sure you’re ready for those spring outings by stopping into The Rainbow Fleet!

While you’re here, mark the date to come back for your summer wardrobe– once the warm weather kicks in, time moves pretty quickly! Before you know it, you’ll be wishing you had some snazzy shorts, sleeveless shirts, and loose cotton dresses!

For consignors, we are receiving spring items now, and will begin with summer items on April 4th.

Donate Your Wedding Dress for Art’s Sake!

We are currently seeking a donated wedding dress for a fashion art project. Must be in good wearable condition; stains are fine. Let go of that dress you’ll never wear again, the one that maybe never even made it to the cleaners after that one night!
