Welcome to Day Tripping, our seasonal guide to shopping some of New England's top spots.

When you think of Maine—our northerly neighbor "Vacationland"—it's typically lobsters and trail hiking that come to mind, not necessarily shopping. However, tucked into the winding streets of Portland, there is a variety of indie retail to lure you in while waiting for a spot at the oyster bar. Here are six stores that beg a visit, from locally designed (and vibrantly-hued) home goods and gifts at More & Co. to small batch skincare at Portland General Store.
