Cute clothes and adorable accessories. The sticker options were also a plus as they were unique and I had a nice time finding my favorite ones. The individual at the counter also helped with my experience as she was kind and knowledgeable not only about the shop but about the area of Fairbanks as a whole. As a tourist you worry you may be judged but Bad Mother’s employees offered kindness and assistance. Definitely recommend a visit if you get a chance, it will not disappoint!

I recommend anyone interested in curated vintage and unique shopping to come here. Locals love it because there is older (and arguably better) Alaska merchandise and well-made layers and outerwear passed along by fellow Alaskans. Visitors love it because it’s a funky shop downtown to pop into. This shop provides high quality, ethical fashion options in a welcoming environment with warm, considerate employees (and the owner is very involved and helpful).
