Our
Story
Raising Arrows Children's Resale Boutique launched in 2023 to bring a boutique experience to parents shopping in Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan. Store owner, Janice Martin, combines over 25 years of retail management experience with her unique vision. The store was created from a love of repurposing, finding beauty where others might overlook it, and a passion for reducing the negative impacts of the clothing industry on our environment. At Raising Arrows, we love on our customers, our community, and our planet.
Our
Mission
We create a welcoming environment for parents to shop and kids to express themselves, regardless of budget. We want you to leave the store feeling like you got the best products, the best service, and you're happy with your purchase.
Our
Vision
We envision a world where parents are able to slow down and shop with intention and kids are able to embrace their unique gifts, express themselves, and go on into the world to make an impact.
We want everyone to have access to affordable, sustainable, and stylish clothing.
Our
Name
We are Christians and we stand for LOVE. We were inspired by this psalm that talks about how unless the Lord builds it, human efforts are in vain. This business exists for God to use however he would like.
The Psalm also talks about raising children in God's vision and unique gifts given to them, then sending them into the world to make an impact, just like an arrow.
Our
Products
We want to provide affordable, sustainable items for families in Michigan and beyond. Our customers love our mix and match between full priced and pre-loved items. We don’t view pre-loved items as less then, in fact, we think you can source more unique items and blend brands/styles to curate your own style. Everyone who shops in our boutique will get the same experience no matter their budget.
