Opening its doors in May of 2019, Late Bird Boutique has become the latest addition to Ann Arbor’s (somewhat-limited) fashion scene. Late Bird is a contemporary women’s clothing store providing a carefully curated collection of wardrobe staples & trend pieces by popular brands such as Monrow, Seychelles, 525 America, Capulet, Greylin and Heartloom, among others. The boutique’s selection is intended to be as cross-generational as possible, while still addressing the specific apparel needs that vary between different age groups. Additionally, the store offers pieces ranging in price so that every shopper feels comfortable, no matter their budget.
In its beginning stages, Late Bird functioned primarily as an online boutique and operated in a somewhat limited capacity as a physical outlet for shopping, requiring shoppers to schedule appointments in order to browse the inventory. But over time Late Bird has evolved to cater to girls-on-the-go, who don’t have the flexibility to shop on a schedule, with its establishment of regular store hours.
Late Bird is located a short half-mile away from U of M’s campus, on the northern end of Ann Arbor’s Main St. where it’s hidden in plain sight. The boutique embodies a “speakeasy” vibe, tucked away in a renovated warehouse, originally constructed in the early 20th century. With high ceilings, exposed beams, and plenty of light flooding in from its oversized windows that overlook the Argo, the space flaunts an industrial feel that’s offset by the modern, feminine charm of Late Bird’s décor.
The atmosphere is welcoming & cozy, creating a comfortable, no-pressure shopping experience for anyone who walks in. Not convinced? Stop on by and see for yourself! Feel free to drop by weekday afternoons & evenings or contact us directly to set up a private appointment (or make it a party and bring your best gals along!) that works best with your schedule!
