West Hartford and Vineyard Vines have teamed up to create the We-Ha customized merchandise just for West Hartford!

By Joy Taylor

The custom “We-Ha” Vineyard Vines classic tote is a popular item in the new store.

At long last, the preppy, sporty, nostalgic, fun-loving residents and fans of West Hartford can buy the coveted Vineyard Vines-labeled clothing imprinted with We-Ha!

UPDATED: This customized line of clothing and accessories will be available just in time for the holiday season. Orders should be placed no later than NOON ON MONDAY OCTOBER 17, 2016.  Visit store here.

Connecticut natives and brothers, Shep and Ian Murray founded Vineyard Vines in the late 90s as a way to escape the constraints of corporate life and find a way to make people feel happy, look good, and be comfortable. On the Vineyard Vines website, the brothers say they “decided to trade in our business suits for bathing suits by selling ties so we wouldn’t have to wear them.”

The Vineyard Vines company motto is “Every day should feel this good,” and we have a feeling lots of West Hartford residents will feel great in their own private label clothing this holiday season and beyond.

West Hartford was recently named the no. 15 best place to live in the country by Money Magazine, so residents should be prouder than ever to show their town pride.

We are excited to start this venture and look forward to the community support! The tote, tie, and hat are shown in this story, and please see the store for renderings of all of the items currently for sale.
