Shop ’til you drop

Shopping is always a good idea. Build your fall wardrobe or just browse the windows along Woodward Avenue, home to an ever-growing roster of buzzy national designers and independently owned boutiques. Nestled in the shadow of the Shinola Hotel, Good Neighbor offers local labels with a Midwestern sensibility (Campus Martius Station). Duck into neighboring Madcap Coffee for a flat white before stopping by Detroit’s very own Gucci outpost, where you might peep the latest collab with Detroiter Tommy Walker’s ‘Detroit vs. Everybody’ line (Grand Circus Station). Catch the QLINE to Midtown’s Willis Avenue shopping district, where you’ll find handcrafted artisan products at Shinola, rock memorabilia at Third Man Records and one-of-a-kind statement pieces at Flo Boutique (Canfield St. Station). Continue up to New Center to visit Coup D’etat,Detroit’s home for avant-garde and independent designers (Grand Blvd. Station). End your trip with a stroll through the eternally fashionable Fisher Building, home to independent boutiques like  Yama, Pure Detroit, the Peacock Room and Shy vs. Bold (Grand Blvd. Station).
