Opening week of Rough & Tumble's flagship store in Portland

East Brown Cow is pleased to announce that Rough & Tumble’s Flagship Store has officially opened at 176 Middle Street. The 2,126-square foot space, which Rough & Tumble leased last June, is located on the ground floor of the iconic Boyd Block, which was originally constructed in 1867 on the corner of Market and Middle Streets overlooking Tommy’s Park.

"We are thrilled to see such a nationally and internationally acclaimed Maine-based retailer fill this historic space,” said Tim Soley, President and CEO of East Brown Cow. “Their success is a testament to the draw that the Old Port’s unique small business storefronts have on visitors from around the world and a clear sign of this area’s thriving future. We are excited to see the impact that Rough & Tumble will have on the charm and legacy of Portland.”

Rough & Tumble founder, Natasha Durham shares that she plans for the Flagship Store to serve as a base for partnerships with other Maine makers, designers, and artists through the brand’s unique 'Be The Designer' custom process, which gives access to thousands of design and material combinations to customize a one-of-a-kind R&T handbag.
