You Asked For It! Blackbird Opens Its Online Store

Everyone here at Blackbird is thrilled to announce the opening of our new online store at http://www.blackbirdballard.com. During the three years we've been communicating online via our blog, http://helloblackbird.blogspot.com, we've been getting the same question: when will you have an online store? The answer is - now! As of today, everyone around the world can easily browse and buy our selection of award-winning clothing and accessories. (Yes, we ship internationally!)

We've tried to build an online store that reflects everything we love about our Ballard (Seattle) retail location: unique, hand-selected products and a simple, honest, straightforward shopping experience. You'll find a broad range of men's clothing to fit any budget, plus an incredible selection of accessories like hats, scarves, notebooks, grooming supplies, and leather goods. We feature an eclectic mix of products from brands such as April 77, Comme des Garçons, Coming Soon from Yohji Yamamoto, and Julius. The site also features a selection of sale products, so online shoppers now have access to the same great deals as our local customers.

Thanks to all of our loyal customers that have made this possible. Head over to http://www.blackbirdballard.com - we hope you like it! We'd love to hear your feedback!

BALLARD HOLIDAY SHOPPING HOURS

Here's the funny story... according to long time Ballard business owner Kathy Casey of Dish D' Lish, Curtis (Steiner) of Souvenir spearheaded a program 8 years ago when Ballard first started getting more stores and restaurants. It was coined Ballard Red Light Nights (in honor of the old brothel still running on Ballard Ave at that time) and he got everyone a big red lantern to hang in front of their shop/restaurant/store if they were open late on Thursdays. It got a lot of fun press and went on for quite a while.

In an effort to keep Ballard alive (literally), many businesses have agreed to bring back the Thursday night late hours for the holidays along with promoting special events, free refreshments and holiday deals/offers on that night. Some shops, like Blackbird will have red lights in our windows on Thursdays and others will simply be open. You will see us. Please come shopping or just stop in to listen to music and hang out with your neighborhood friends.

EVERY THURSDAY
starting on December 4th
