Some boutiques come and go. Annawear has been setting the pace in Highlands since 1986. Tucked inside the historic Galax Theatre building, this lively shop has long been a go-to for women who like their fashion relaxed, current, and just a little bit fun. Owner Anna Herz curates the racks with a truly experienced eye, blending everyday favorites from Free People, Z Supply and Mother with accessories that keep things interesting – and prices that stay refreshingly approachable. Upstairs, a bright loft adds another layer of temptation: a dedicated shoe boutique and a beloved sale room where regulars know to hunt for treasures. The vibe is casual, the inventory always changing, and the personality entirely Anna’s own. There’s something about this shop that makes a quick browse feel impossible to end. Before long, you’re walking out with a bag in hand, a new favorite piece, and a good reason to come back.
