We are Maine’s only nautical flagmakers and the only producer of original 1901 Maine flags that are made entirely in Maine. Since 2013 we have proudly cut and stitched nautical flags, custom designs, and the Original Maine flag at our headquarters in Portland’s historic India …

The original Maine flag (1901-1909) features two of Maine’s most well-known symbols: the White Pine (Maine’s state tree), and the North Star representing our state motto, Dirigo, which is Latin for “I direct.”

The design tells a story: a deep blue background for the sea and sky, a bold orange-red sun for the warmth that draws us back year after year, and a white seagull, a nod to the island’s natural beauty and wildlife. Handmade with care in Portland, Maine, this flag is built to last.

This mashup of the 1901 original Maine flag and the rainbow pride features the iconic start and pine on buff background of the original Maine flag, along with the rainbow pride stripes on the right edge, or “fly”, of the flag. Handcrafted in Portland, Maine.

We make each flag in our Portland, Maine shop. Please allow 2-4 weeks for flag delivery. Since 1978, the rainbow flag has served as an enduring symbol of diversity and pride.

All Maine Flag Company flags are handcrafted in Portland, Maine using a traditional applique technique. No printing is involved. Free shipping on all orders or please write a note to us if you’d like to pick up your flag in person in Portland. Please allow 1-2 weeks for flag delivery.

Our hearts are broken for Lewiston. Each beautiful hand-sewn flag is more than just fabric; it is a symbol of unity, resilience, and love. With each flag we create, we pour our love into supporting the victims and their families and funding a long-term effort to heal our community.

In addition to the currently and commonly used blue flag, Maine has a white merchant and marine flag flown by Maine-flagged ships. This flag – which dates from 1939 – contains a green pine tree which we feel looks great on the original Maine flag design.
