Village Boutique moves

In June 2015, Terri Cooper took ownership of a charming Franklin boutique and transformed it into an on-trend shopping destination. Now, after more than nine successful years in Franklin, Cooper has moved the Village Boutique to a new location in Bloomfield Hills to better serve an even broader audience of fashion lovers. The new shop is located at 6457 Inkster Road, Bloomfield Hills. “The foot traffic has tripled since our move,” said Cooper, excited about the increased buzz at the new spot. The boutique offers a carefully curated selection of designer collections you won’t find in larger stores, with many visitors commenting that it feels like a hidden gem you might discover Up North or in southern cities like Charleston. Among the unique labels featured at Village Boutique are Tribal, Chalet, Joseph Ribkoff, Wooden Ships, Alembika, Dress Addict, and Clara Sun Woo, to name just a few. All jewelry is crafted by local artisans, including PurpleSky Jewelry by Michigan-based artist Monica Atchoo. The shop is also a go-to destination for unique “girlfriend gifts,” such as candles, books, self-care products, kitchenware and greeting cards. Visit the Village Boutique during the following hours: Monday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
