Fair Trade Winds is Bar Harbor's only fair trade store, a family-run gift shop. It offers unique, handmade gifts, jewelry, accessories, homewares, shirts, and Maine-themed mementos. Many items are custom-made, featuring scenes from Acadia National Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Products are sourced from places like Peru, India, and Vietnam. The shop is cute and a little tight but maneuverable. Prices are average for the tourist area and reflect the quality and philosophy. Shopping there makes a difference, and the staff is friendly.
Very cute and unique gifts, hanging decor, pictures, shirts, socks, jewelry. Made in Peru, India, Vietnam. The prices are average for a tourist area. I think there was a step to get into the shop. The shop is a little tight but you could maneuver a wheel chair. The staff was friendly.

This store is the cutest! Love reading about the different items and knowing that shopping there makes a difference. Beautiful jewelery, gifts, homewares, and shirts available to purchase. Will definitely be shopping here next time I'm in Bar Harbor.

Unique, handmade gifts. Such a fresh breeze from the usual t-shirt items. My teenage son bought a pair of hand warmers which he has barely taken off since. They are incredibly soft and hand made. Prices may seem extravagant, but they are worth for the quality and philosphy.
