I was aimlessly wandering around Bozeman trying to find some good shopping, as I needed something…read moreto remember my trip by. I stopped in about 8 different stores, but nothing was really speaking to my soul. It felt more like shopping in LA than what I thought Montana would be like. "Boz Angeles," as one of my uber drivers called it. I was dejected from not finding anything, and set off to meet the rest of the bachelor party at a steakhouse. It was then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw 2 rustic yellow chairs with a sign that read "Rare Bird Vintage." I entered into the small, highly curated space that is an ideal vintage shop. A healthy mix of clothing, old trinkets, bags, books, postcards, shoes, etc. The tags on everything have handwritten prices and notes on each individual item of when it's made. This attention to detail can only come from passion. I immediately pulled off a denim jacket off the rack and tried it on. The owner, Olivia, ran over and said "That looks so good on you, but I have another deadstock denim jacket from the early 90s that I think would look AMAZING on you." I tried it on and loved it, but it was slightly oversized. I'm really shy and insecure so I asked Olivia's opinion. "It honestly fits you perfect. It reminds me of something that I would see in Shibuya, this is a classic Japanese look." 90% of my personality is my trip to Japan and how much I love Japanese culture, so I had no choice. She and her mom, who also owns the shop, gave me a full rundown on how to wash this deadstock denim and why it is such a unique piece. You could just feel the passion oozing out of them. While checking out for both denim jackets, I found a sweatshirt for my girlfriend, a vintage coffee table book about Florence, and a cool Hokkaido pin. I just shook my head and said "I gotta get out of here..." I was BUZZIN in here. It's electric. Thank you Rare Bird, I will pass these jackets to my kids once the curtain closes on me.

Brought some friends in to buy several dresses and cute outfits because the store has been revamped…read moreunder new ownership ...too bad the new owner and her staff had to stand around and not greet us. And then sideline whisper and snicker. Made our friends want to leave without buying those cute pink dresses and many other items. A sales loss of over $800....customer service and greeting people is so key in this tiny town! Advice: be careful who you mock when they're in your store. You don't know the intent or the money they were willing to shell out.

Great selection, helpful staff! Love the shopping parties they offer for Special celebrations…read more Definitely check this place out for cute outfits year round!

I had a wonderful experience at this cute boutique. I'm in town visiting from San Diego and…read moreappreciated the selection of cool clothing and accessories that was true to the area and the vibe of the West, at a reasonable price. I found a unique reversible sweater, a space-dyed stretchy tank that has ruching on the sides to make it cropped or longer, a beautiful pair of pants from Liverpool brand, perfect for work (in fact, they carry some brands also sold at Nordstrom and other trusted retailers), and a super-soft long cardigan that also came in a few other styles/lengths. The salesperson said they had just gotten it in stock today and had already sold four of the pieces. (I happened to have accidentally pulled off one of my bracelets while in the fitting room and came back to ask if anyone had turned it in...and yes! Someone found it and they had it waiting for me at the front. Yay!) The service was beyond friendly and helpful. I heard the woman working there say hello to every single person that came in with a genuine warmth in her tone. She also gave us a few tips about the weekly Thursday community event, Music on Main, which my local friend had mentioned, and told us about how all the stores pull out their sale clothes and offer extra deals during this street fair-type event. All in all I'm so glad I walked into this store and I WILL be back before we head back to SD!

I have lived in Bozeman since before this store ever popped up and decided to go in one day last…read moreweek. The store had some cute stuff. I said hello to the salesperson or owner, not quite sure. No response, just a stare. She welcomed other customers. I continued to look around. Then left. It was so uncomfortable, I wouldn't go back.

Worst mall ever. Small, boring, horrible selection, terrible food…read more Back to online shopping I go!

We were needing to pick up a few gifts that the nieces needed for their friends. So after our movie…read morewe went to walk around the mall which was quite small. I guess this is how malls look like in Bozeman. It's basically just one long strip, one floor but it looks like there's going to be an expansion in the future. Parking here is crazy especially when it's snowing and cold. We found parking but yes, it was quite packed though perhaps that's because it was post Thanksgiving and it's also shared by Barnes & Nobles and the movie theater. For being a small mall, it was kind of popping. Like everyone seemed to be there. There's a food court in the middle that juts out from the center walking area where the shops are. They do have restrooms as well here. It is kind of old...but hey it's better than nothing especially if you're wanting to shop in person. Overall, it doesn't have a lot of choices but at least they do have a few stores from clothing, Bath & Body Works, Eddie Bauer, some toy shops, etc.
