Inspired by Orange Bay, Jamaica, the company opened in Paget with sustainability at its heart and a curated collection of second-hand furniture and homewares.

What began as a Saturday-only shop quickly grew into a true consignment business.

Giving back became part of Orange Bay from the start.

Its first major initiative, A Good Night’s Sleep, raised more than $35,000 for the Sunshine League and established a lasting commitment to Bermuda’s community.

Orange Bay moved to Mill Creek Road, expanded its opening hours and introduced its first small clothing rack.

Customer response was immediate, setting fashion on course to become a major part of the business.

Orange Bay supported BHS’s inaugural ecoRunway competition, connecting fashion with reuse and sustainability.

That same year, it received its first Best of Bermuda Award.

As the business continued to grow, Orange Bay received a Product & Service Award.

By early 2014, its fundraising efforts had generated more than $70,000 for Bermuda charities.

The move to Magnolia Place on Victoria Street brought Orange Bay into a busier retail environment and introduced the brand to a much broader audience.

Fashion expanded rapidly alongside furniture and home accessories.

Orange Bay took another step toward reducing waste by going bagless, encouraging customers to bring their own reusable bags or reuse and recycle shopping bags.

It was a natural extension of the sustainability principles on which Orange Bay was founded.

Orange Bay expanded its fashion, men’s, children’s and furniture departments while investing in professional consignment, accounting and customer account systems.

The goal: combine the personality of consignment with the transparency and standards of modern retail.

As Bermuda reopened after COVID-19 restrictions, resale became more relevant than ever.

Orange Bay expanded its digital content while its website evolved into an online catalogue supporting the in-store treasure-hunt experience.

The ORANGE BAY COMPANY U.S. trademark was registered, laying groundwork for future expansion beyond Bermuda.

The pandemic delayed those ambitions, but not the vision.

Orange Bay received the Best of Bermuda Award of Excellence for Clothing & Accessories, recognizing its curated resale experience and its contribution to sustainability, the local economy and Bermuda’s community.

Orange Bay moved into Melbourne House, 44 Victoria Street, bringing designer fashion, clothing, jewelry and furnishings together under one roof once again.

As concerns around textile waste and the environmental impact of disposable fashion continued to grow globally, including major action in France, Orange Bay made the decision to stop accepting fast-fashion brands for consignment.

More than 10,000 consignors are now part of the Orange Bay community.

With Designer Drops, estate jewelry and continued growth, the company enters its next chapter with the same question that has driven it from the beginning: What’s next?
