Design Destinations: The Post Supply in Portland, Maine

Today we're taking a look at recently opened general store, The Post Supply, in Portland, ME. Owners Katie Bowes and Hannah Haehn met in Brooklyn a decade ago and remained close despite Katie’s move to Portland a few years later. “We have also always been aligned aesthetically from clothing to home decor,” says Hannah—which is why they thought to collaborate on a store that would carry good-looking, well-made domestic goods.

“There are a handful of really beautifully curated, special stores here and we felt we could add a different perspective, represent some new artisans and makers not yet represented here in Portland or, in some cases, in Maine,” says Katie.

Among the offerings are some Remodelista favorites: wooden candlesticks by Sir/Madam and glassware by La Soufflerie.

Katie enlisted her friend Kacee Witherbee of Insides Studios and her own husband, Brad, of Joiya Studios, for the design. “He designed and built everything, including the flow of the space, all fixtures, paneling, the tables that hold product, and the accent furniture."

A look inside the shop.

The hand-painted ceramic plates on the wall are made by California-based ceramicist Rebekah Miles, a long-time friend of Hannah.

“We already have a few regulars and recognizing these new faces and feeling their appreciation for what we are doing is incredibly gratifying,” says Katie.
