Island Life Artisan Gifts & Goods — Local services in Bainbridge Island

Wow! 🤩 This adorable little shop is an absolute must-visit if you’re ever on Bainbridge Island—or even in Seattle (just hop on the ferry!) It’s a charming spot tucked on the right side of the street as you enter downtown.

We were warmly greeted by Zya, who welcomed us with a sweet smile and took the time to genuinely check in and answer any questions we had. She shared that Bainbridge is actually the birthplace of Pickleball (who knew?) and told us how all the shop’s merchandise is designed by a talented in-house artist, giving everything a one-of-a-kind, original vibe. 😉

When we headed to the counter to check out, we were lucky enough to meet the artist herself- Alex S.- and she was kind enough to autograph her business card for us! 💜

What an incredibly friendly and welcoming place. Huge thanks to Zya & Alex for making our Bainbridge visit...

amazing experience at this souvenir store on bainbridge island! we met the local artist, alex, who designed most of the artwork for keychains, magnets, coasters, etc., in addition to other novelty items special to bainbridge island, like pickleball paddles. all of the designs were super cute and i wanted to buy the whole store! overall, beautiful souvenirs, lovely shop owner, a very talented local artist, and the best vibes! will totally come back to this store when i visit bainbridge...

Lovely shop with custom and local products! The staff were very welcoming. I asked a question about a design on a baby onesie that I was looking for. It turned out that they had actually designed what I was looking for (something with a pickleball reference) and I was able to "pre-order" and get it shipped back to that state I'm from once it comes in. If you are looking for a way to remember your time on the island, you should definitely support this...
