I've read several reviews online about Emerald Isle shops,and the comments about Planet Wear always mention the beautiful dachshund, Flower.
Flower is the canine companion of Sarah (Manager of Planet Wear). Lucy is Flower's country cousin.
Both Sarah and Flower are bright, kind and beautiful! Stop in and say hello!

One of our favorite shops in Emerald Isle, is Planet Wear. It is located in the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center, just east of Food Lion. You just never know what you might find. I go in several times each week to chat as well as shop.

Often, I discover something that I've never seen in Planet Wear before! When I ask the shop owners, Linda and Phil were they found a specific artefact, they say, "Tiffiney, it's been here for the last six months!"

I find unique hats, hippie and island clothing, the most beautiful rainbow tie dyes which are created by Linda and Phil in their island studio. They sell purses, fairy and dragon statues, homemade hemp jewelry, body jewelry and some of the nicest sterling silver Irish Claddagh pendants and semi precious stones as well.

They also have a wonderful selection of incense for burning and smudging, as well.

I highly recommend visiting Planet Wear to find that unique gift for your loved ones back home.

While Emerald Isle is primarily a small family vacation town with few shopping centers, the main Emerald Plantation shopping center (where Food Lion is) offers a nice variety of stores.

Two of our favorites in town are both in Emerald Plantation. Compass Rose and Planet Wear offer some of the most unique items you will find in Emerald Isle. Planet Wear is a true hippy shop, with loads of hand-made tie-dyes (made by the Planet Wear owners), as well as more consumer-oriented Liquid Blue tie-dyes, hemp jewelry, gorgeous skirts and dresses, incense and accessories, and all sorts of interesting trinkets and baubles.

Compass Rose (right) is a new age shoppe located behind Planet Wear and across the walkway. This mystical hole in the wall offers an extensive selection of silver jewelry, sun face art, statues, mystical power accessories, books, soothing new age music CDs, tarot items, incense, and much much more. Don't miss the frequent guest readers that frequent Compass Rose.

If you stop by either shop during your stay in Emerald Isle, make sure to tell Linda (right) or Phil that Dave and Tiff sent you!
