Retail Therapy: J.Banks

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Inspired by the interiors of the River Road Idea Homes, we hit the road to check out the J. Banks Retail Shop on Hilton Head. We found fun!

Lemonade Dispenser

When life gives you lemons. Fill it up for family sipping, or spike it for an afternoon soiree.

Illuminazione Red Currant Candle

We can’t quite explain how this candle is a little bit Christmas and a little bit spring, at the same time. But, we can say that it is a J. Banks retail favorite, and that their clients and shoppers buy them in multiples.

Wool Blanket

This fun wool blanket is stylish and is the perfect go-to prop for picnics, concerts (ahem, summer concert series at the Bluff!) and s’mores-making evenings around the fire pit.

Pottery

Handcrafted, statement pottery pieces that’ll do double-duty in the dining room. Use them for serving or display simply as works of art.

Pillows

Our latitude and longitude pillows will lead you straight home. A Palmetto Bluff must!

Glass Pitcher

Serve your grandmother’s sweet tea in this eclectic alligator-handle glass pitcher.

Salt and Pepper Shakers

Take your table under the sea with these sea turtle salt and pepper shakers.

Canvas Tote

Tres chic! We can’t stop eyeing this lightweight leather and canvas tote from Graf & Lantz. It’s the perfect anytime accessory for village strolling, RT’s shopping or an afternoon boat cruise.

Napkin Rings and Coasters

Haaay… we’re loving these leather equestrian-themed napkin rings and coasters.

Table Runners

Amp up your next Lowcountry Boil by replacing the newspaper with these snazzy, disposable paper table runners. (This has Music to Your Mouth written all over it!)%GALLERY%
