‘Darby Jones’ is new to the world, yet our founder has always been attracted to nifty, cool and pretty things. Admittedly a born fanatic of handbags, shoes, glossy magazines, and of course dogs, Laura gained invaluable experience at an early age working in her sister’s boutique. Having studied Design Communications at the College of Marketing and Design, Dublin, Ireland, she carved a career spanning 25+ years within the retail and wholesale industries to further satisfy this inherent love of personal and home accessories. 

Darby Jones is thrilled to have opened its flagship lifestyle gift location in Portland’s Deering Center neighborhood, in August 2018. Offering a solid assortment of the best brands in the industry, with selections from both artisanal start ups and globally recognized brands. 

Offering handmade jewelry, fashion accessories, athleisure apparel, baby gifts, pet products, Eco-friendly home and bar-ware, stationery, books, imported goods from Ireland, Scotland and Britain, among numerous additional categories. We continue to broaden our carefully chosen collections. Our online assortment is quite select whilst in-store you’ll enjoy a wide variety. 

To thank customers for supporting local business, Darby Jones offers a loyalty program with a personalized touch. A classic in-store system allows shoppers to track purchases without the hassle of a punch card, whilst earning a percentage back in the form of a Darby Jones Gift Card on every purchase.
