Absolutely gorgeous vintage and knowledgeable staff! Incredible local finds, the second you walk in it’s clear how much love and attention went into everything in the collection. I wear something from Rare Bird basically every day, and whenever I’ve gotten compliments on a shirt or sweater it’s inevitably something I got from here. Thanks for everything you two do!

I have had nothing but amazing luck at this store! Not only is the owner exceedingly kind but she also has outstanding taste. 🐉 I was able to find the perfect birthday gift for my mom to replace something that got lost after years of searching. Plus I found an amazing deco ring for myself 💚. This shop is the four leaf clover of Bozeman. 🍀

I was aimlessly wandering around Bozeman trying to find some good shopping, as I needed something to remember my trip by. I stopped in about 8 different stores, but nothing was really speaking to my soul. It felt more like shopping in LA than what I thought Montana would be like. “Boz Angeles,” as one of my uber drivers called it. I was dejected from not finding anything, and set off to meet the rest of the bachelor party at a steakhouse. It was then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw 2 rustic yellow chairs with a sign that read “Rare Bird Vintage.” I entered into the small, highly curated space that is an ideal vintage shop. A healthy mix of clothing, old trinkets, bags, books, postcards, shoes, etc. The tags on everything have handwritten prices and notes on each individual item of when it’s made. This attention to detail can only come from passion. I immediately pulled off a denim jacket off the rack and tried it on. The owner, Olivia, ran over and said “That looks so good on you, but I have another deadstock denim jacket from the early 90s that I think would look AMAZING on you.” I tried it on and loved it, but it was slightly oversized. I’m really shy and insecure so I asked Olivia’s opinion. “It honestly fits you perfect. It reminds me of something that I would see in Shibuya, this is a classic Japanese look.” 90% of my personality is my trip to Japan and how much I love Japanese culture, so I had no choice. She and her mom, who also owns the shop, gave me a full rundown on how to wash this deadstock denim and why it is such a unique piece. You could just feel the passion oozing out of them. While checking out for both denim jackets, I found a sweatshirt for my girlfriend, a vintage coffee table book about Florence, and a cool Hokkaido pin. I just shook my head and said “I gotta get out of here…” I was BUZZIN in here. It’s electric. Thank you Rare Bird, I will pass these jackets to my kids once the curtain closes on me.

Such a cool little spot. Incredible pieces from the 50s - 90s. A little pricey for some items but that’s because they’re handmade and of extreme quality. Love that each tag has some info on the time period, material, and make of the piece! The woman working (I believe an owner) gave me a price great on an item that wasn’t tagged. Highly recommend for unique vintage clothing!!

Updating my review….this place is a gem in a sea of resale shops. Small, well-edited vintage items. They take great care to source, clean and mend all pieces. So much fun to shop here for unique items.

This clothing boutique has incredible pieces arranged in the most elegant way. Similar to things you would find at an estate sale or vintage consignment shop. Many brands you will recognize, while some are from a different century, making this place a dream for anyone interested in fashion history. The high quality of the items shows the precision of each piece curated to be merchandised in this store. The co-owner Olivia has an astute knowledge of fashion history: she was so friendly and fun to talk with as I shopped. While I was there, every customer walked out with a purchase, including myself.
