The Experience
When you step into the shop, it feels like walking into the home of an old friend. You’re welcomed with an offer of coffee or water—it’s not so much a typical boutique shopping experience as it is a personalized one. When Laura, Vassar, or a member of their team comes out to greet you, they meet you as their guest.
Accessories
Inspired by Mount Desert Island’s iconic summer cottages, our collection of home furnishings and interiors represents a bright new take on sturdy old designs that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. These first-generation heirlooms embody the simple island beauty and deep community traditions of the rusticator lifestyle.

The People
Rusticator is the shop-child of interior designer Laura Keeler Pierce and her husband, Vassar Pierce. As Laura puts it, “Rusticator is the result of a lifetime surrounded by sawdust and custom draperies.”
