At Rising Tide Market, nothing makes us happier than supporting a local, heart-centered vendor with one eye on aesthetics and the other on the planet.

So imagine our excitement at teaming up with Glen Cove girl and first-rate designer Hilary Star de Roy, and her company The Royal Native.

Inspired by the glamour of the mid-century jet set and the adventurous spirit of the bohemian gypset movement, and fueled by a dozen years in the fashion industry, Hilary took her love of patterns and an impeccable eye and ventured out on her own. A short time (and two children) later, she poured everything she knew into an old dream: launching her own line of African wax print clothing and accessories. The Royal Native was born.

Fast forward to Summer 2016…we love Hilary and are crazy about her prints! Case in point: her Cabana Totes, available right here at The Rising Tide Market. Crafted from vibrant, exotic, hand-blocked patterns, these are the PERFECT bags for a day at the beach, the farmer’s market, or any other summer outing. Just $59.99 for the only bag you’ll need this summer. And it’s locally made!
