WHAT'S THE STORY RORY?

Learning the importance of accessories, at an early age! Dublin Zoo visit with Mom

OUR STORY

‘Darby Jones’ is relatively new to the world (Established in August 2018), 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 'desirable nonessentials' lifestyle gift store is conveniently located in Portland’s Deering Center neighborhood. Offering a solid assortment of the best brands in the industry, with selections from both artisanal start-ups and globally recognized brands to include handcrafted jewelry, accessories, leisure apparel, baby gifts, pet accessories, toys and treats, Eco-friendly home decor and bar-ware, stationery, greeting cards for every real life occasion, party supplies, books, imported goods from Ireland, Scotland and Britain, and a personalized gift box service among numerous additional categories. We continuously broaden our carefully  curated collections. 


To thank customers for shopping at Darby Jones we offer complimentary gift wrap, shipping, and free local delivery service.  

Family history, Wedding Day

What's with the name?

A nod to our founder’s ancestors, Darby Jones is derivative of the surnames of each of Laura’s grandmothers! Catherine McDarby (second from right) and Bridget Jones (second from left). Both were, without doubt, two remarkable women of strength, and well ahead of their time!

Darby Jones brand inspiration, well loved childhood toy dog.

What's with the logo?

Our logo, designed by the exceptionally talented Andy Johanson of Pittsburgh, PA was inspired by a beloved childhood toy of Laura’s! Imagine he survived being played with and, carried everywhere over forty years ago and since then traveled over 3,000 miles to be newly discovered by Laura’s children when they were little! Laura’s eldest son had the brilliant idea to incorporate this tiny, well-loved plastic dog into the Darby Jones logo and we all agreed, he is perfectly imperfect to hail as our icon.
