Rags

About

Rags serves Martha's Vineyard from 4 Dock St, Edgartown, MA 02539, United States, a short step from the harbour in the island's oldest town. Sixteen reviews have produced a 4.4 out of 5 average, a small but consistent sample that suggests steady local and seasonal trade.

Edgartown sits on the island's south-eastern edge, and the town is easy to reach from Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Tisbury by road, with the western communities of Chilmark, Aquinnah, Menemsha and West Tisbury further along the same network. The shop's position among Edgartown's shops makes it a natural stop on a walk through the centre. As a clothing store, it carries apparel rather than homeware or groceries, and its setting on the town's main commercial stretch keeps it within easy reach of the waterfront.

Martha's Vineyard belongs to the maritime New England group of US islands, a colder and more seasonal setting than Hawaii's dry and wet seasons or the frost-free Florida Keys. New England's islands carry a whaling history that still shows in their older buildings. English is the everyday language across the United States, so browsing and asking about sizes are straightforward for most visitors.

Ferries are the usual route onto Martha's Vineyard, since most US islands have no road link to the mainland. Once ashore, the towns sit close enough together that a car, bicycle or shuttle covers the ground in a day.
