EAST INDIA MARINE HALL REDUX
This year marks the 200th anniversary of East India Marine Hall. Our Marine Hall Mercantile celebrates that same spirit of curiosity and global exploration that inspired the museum’s founders to bring rare and fascinating objects back to Salem — from across the world and just around the corner.
IN THE TWEEDS
On the cover
We asked some members of our marketing team to strike a pose — and clearly they understood the assignment! Modeling cozy vintage jackets from Picker Packer and Grumb, they’re living proof that bundling up can still be a fashion moment.
Add in Harris Tweed hats, handbags and footwear, plus handmade leather belts and snazzy one-of-a-kind buckles, and you’ve got serious winter style vibes straight from Marine Hall Mercantile!
Oh — and don’t worry, we didn’t forget your four-legged fashionistas. We’ve even got Harris Tweed accessories, so your pup can strut their stuff in style, too!

He traded in the West Indies for rum, sugar and fruit; in Europe for fine wines, fabric and iron; and in East and South Asia for coffee and pepper. This festive Peabody Punch recipe blends some of the global flavors his ships once carried: spirits, sugar, citrus, spice and tea. Pick up your spirits for the punch at Pamplemousse, right next door to Marine Hall Mercantile.
