I love the small-town charm of Sag Harbor with the authentic architecture and former homes of ship captains. The number of home stores increases each year which makes Sag Harbor a great destination for design lovers. If you are dashing around for the perfect hostess gift or entertaining essentials, these Sag Harbor locations will make your hunt exponentially easier. Many of these design stores source their product locally and have a continuous rotation of inventory. Make sure to wander up and down Main Street and over to Washington Street. The best part about all these stores is that each one gives back in a unique and meaningful way.
