There are like 50% of unique type antiques, but this has such great stuff, and it is not a tourist trap of stuff. It has some local artist pictures and other artist stuff. There is clothes, jewelry , trinkets, so much you just have to go inside and check it out. The girl behind the counter was so friendly, and the prices are not unreasonable. Please check them out. Don't let this pass you by.

August in Hayward was not the time for Christmas gifts. CUTE kiddie clothing. Warm socks. Shows straight for over the pond. A few choice Rosemaling pieces from a local artist. Beautiful. Pricy but worth it. My grandma had many of the same pieces in her home years ago. Great store. I bought a bumper sticker because this Norwegian couldn't find anything worth dropping a wad of cash but I'm glad I stopped in.

Upstate MN's Instagram account has been fun to follow - from the evolution of the shop to the chronicles of the natural beauty of the area. I had high expectations before walking in. To sum it up - I was not disappointed. The shop has beautiful items at reasonable prices. Well curated. I tried on overalls from Utility Canvas and almost bought them and now regretting I didn't. The lady working the shop was friendly. It was very busy with weekend visitors. There's only one changing room, which I had to wait to use. It would be nice to have another one. I imagine most weekends here during the summer months are just as busy. I also enjoyed browsing the wide selection of minimalist jewelry.

Howl is one of those boutiques that makes wandering Bayfield even more enjoyable!…read more The shop has a great vibe and selection of clothing, outdoor gear, and accessories. I visited during the colder months and was impressed by how much well-chosen winter gear they had--cozy layers, warm accessories, and practical pieces that still look stylish. I ended up leaving with a warm winter hat!

Wow, hard to believe no one has reviewed Howl yet…read more We visited Bayfield over Labor Day, staying at a B&B down the road. Before leaving Minneapolis, we booked a half-day yacht cruise for Saturday morning, which turned out to be lovely. The reason I mention the cruise is that our captain also owns Howl (as well as the Howl Adventure Center just south of town). We stopped into the retail store the following morning as we dodged raindrops, enjoying a chat with the captain and his family. I would characterize the clothing and equipment on the shelf here (as well as the Adventure Center) as "upper end" although insufficient to completely supply many an outdoor trek. That said, the equipment on sale was interesting, reasonably priced, not overly "touristy" (although there were some items geared to the visiting tourist). As an aging backpacker, it was very difficult to not pick up a few items, but I've vowed not to buy more "stuff" until I get my knees replaced! I did succumb to a few bicycling accessories at the Adventure Center, however! Howl Clothing is right downtown, just a block away from the docks and right across the street from the Bayfield Inn. It's worth stopping in to browse, and we will use their sailing services when next we visit during the summer.
