Is Triminghams still open?

It doesn't surprise me that Macy's was involved with Trimingham's demise. They've poisoned everything they've touched; now most department stores in the US are owned by the same company and carry the same low-quality merchandise. Shopping at Jordan Marsh and the original Filene's was a pleasure; shopping at Macy's is like plowing through a rummage sale!

Just back from our most recent trip to Bermuda. Hamilton is just not the same without Triminghams. My all time favorite purchase was an elegant, gold Mickey Mouse watch! Have worn it for years.

I was stunned to read that Triminghams had closed.
I so remember my mother purchasing our sweaters and gloves there.
Anytime I thought of Bermuda I always thought of Triminghams, this would factor in on a decision for a return visit.

So sad, my wife and I have visited Bermuda 7 times, and except for the last visit in 2009 we were able to go to Triminghams. We were told that Macys was involved with merchandise decisions and that more US items were included in the store. Most of the visitors to Bermuda come from the US and Canada and didn't want the Macys related items, they could get them back home.
We purchased our glassware there, and have spent many happy hours at the store on Front Street.
Bermuda is just not the same.

My mother, Margaret Webley, from England, worked at Trimingham's in the shoe department. She later married William Dunn from Canada and I was born in Bermuda in 1952. We moved to Canada in 1955. She and her sister, Miki, had originally come to Bermuda as nurses to look after a young boy, Richard, who needed round the clock help. I believe he was a member of the Kitson family and this family either owned or was in some way connected to Trimingham's. I used to love going to Trimingham's as an adult as it kind of connected me to my past and especially my mother as a young woman. My wife and I travelled to Bermuda two years ago to find the store closed. It was really a shame. I was told that before it closed it was taken over by Macy's from the US. I don't know whether this is true or not but either way, Trimingham's was unique and although my wife and I are planning on a trip to Bermuda this year it won't quite be the same without Trimingham's

Triminghams. A great store has closed, how sad. My family lived in Bermuda. I was given a long nightgown from this store and the quality was exceptional.
I once was a manager in Manhattan NEW YORK for (Modern Art Linen) There I met the lady buyers for Triminghams. The buyers were so soft spoken and businesslike this was rear for 85% of the buyers that I HAD TO DEAL WITH. Therefore I know the have purchased items in New York to sell in Bermuda. I wish I knew where they purchased that long nightgown from. New York, England?? I'll never know now.

Its a tragedy that Triminghams has gone. Yes, their polo shirts were of unbeatable quality. I still have two, which have been washed countless times yet are still a cut above anything you can find in top tailoring stores in London. I wonder did the products die with the store or did someone else take over selling them because if so they need support.

I am disappointed to hear that Trimingham's closed. I purchased a long sleeved polo weather shirt over 20 years ago that has worked well in the cold golfing weather of MN, and sometimes in AZ and TX. I was hoping to buy a new one in August 2010.

I am sorry that Triminghams has closed. It was one of my very favourite stores in Bermuda.

I'm disappointed to find that Trimingham's no longer exists. A polo shirt purchased there when I was 12 remains in memory as one of the great clothing purchases of my life.

I always enjoyed shopping at Trimingham's when visiting Bermuda for business or pleasure. Visited Bermuda this past week, and was very disappointed to see that the store has closed. Management and staff always did a fine job.

We were on a cruise to Bermuda last week and was very sad to find Trimingham's had closed. Their sales staff were always most helpful. I bought my daughter's Lenox china there. It was much less money than in the U.S. and there was no tax or shipping to my home.

How sad. My husband's grandfather bought a well made madras blazer from Trimingham's in the 1950's or 1960's. He had lived on Bermuda and met my husband's grandmother there in the late 1920's. That jacket has gotten a lot of wear and compliments. My husband's grandfather, my husband and now our two sons. We adored buying cashmere sweaters and wonderful china from Trimingham's. Another sweet part of the World gone. Alas!

Whenever I think of Triminghams, I think of their blue silk ties decorated with a repeated pattern of little St. David's lighthouses. These ties were presented to skippers and navigators of yachts in the Bermuda Race, with the year of entry stitched below each little lighthouse. For those who didn't compete, the ties (minus date) were available over the store's counter. They looked terrific with the traditional island outfit of navy blazer, Bermuda shorts and knee-length socks -- naturally, also available at Triminghams.

Trimingham's had a very nice product that awaited sailors at the end of yacht races finishing in Bermuda. They would apply your initials on the pocket of a polo shirt. The initials were in a nautical flag alphabet. Very distinctive!

My husband bought a belt in Trimingham's on a Bermuda vacation and had it for years. It finally wore out and he bought others at different places but said that the Trimingham's was the best belt ever. I wanted to replace it for him and am so bummed that it is closed!

On my visit to Bermuda last year,I was so sorry to find that Trimingham's has closed. I bought my china, crystal, Swarovski and Chanel there. The first place I stopped on my many visits to Bermuda. I'll be arriving by ship next week and will not bother to go to Hamilton.

I am so sorry to hear that my favourite store in Bermuda has closed. I always looked forward to buying so many pretty sweaters there.

A wonderful piece of my life is gone forever.
I would send my boys to Mrs. Masters (what a lovely lady) she would outfit them with school clothes. I wouldn't need to take time away from work, as she would put the charge on my bill. Bless you Mrs. Masters and Triminghams.
A lovely piece of the world still brings a smile to my face.
