ag Lady Boutique first opened its doors in 2007 through the creativity and ambition of Ginny Redfern. She has single handedly has made it her mission to offer a shop full to the brim with unique gifts, apparel and accessories displayed in a nontraditional, unique way. That’s just what you will find when you walk into this incredible store that will fulfill all of your creative needs. Bag Lady Boutique located right off of Republic Rd. and across the street from Mama Jeans, now offers a vast array in their gift line with brands like Papaya, Natural Life, Knock Knock to Annie Solan Chalk Paint. If you haven’t heard of this newest rave, chalk paint is a decorative paint used to repurpose old furniture, cabinets, floors, lamps, and basically anything. There is no prep work (no sanding or priming) and it adheres to any surface. Bag Lady even offers classes to teach techniques and complete projects. With Christmas right around the corner and you find yourself trying to think of a unique gifts that can’t be found in a big box store, well think no further: Bag Lady is your answer! With 4000 square feet of unique, trendy, fun and diversified inventory, Bag Lady won’t let you down. I asked Owner Ginny Redfern for some fall fashion advice. “Layer a lacy slip under a flowing tunic and pair with boots or flats and leggings,” she advises. “Accessorize with a trendy statement necklace and you are good to go.” I love it and couldn’t agree more. Bag Lady carries the complete line of the Ivy Jane family, Joy Joy, AZI and KUT denim ware, and lots of collegiate game day wear to make you uniquely you. When it comes to fall decorations, we all want our home to be cozy and decorative yet functional for the holiday seasons. Ginny believes burlap is this year’s trendy fall accessory. Burlap can be found in all sorts of colors at Bag Lady, and is great used as accents in wreaths or to tie into any home décor. Bag Lady Boutique is located at 1111 E Republic Rd, Springfield, MO 65807. For hours call 417.882.4438
