Find Your Style at The Annex
Shopping in Royal Oak just became a little more fun! Royal Oak's latest haven for fashion fiends The Annex brings a unique and eclectic vibe to the city.

Co-owners Doug Schwartz and Annie LeBlanc have created a feast for the accessory lover's senses with their array of unique pieces that range from hats to headbands, bangles to handbags.

Take one step across the threshold and you'll immediately feel like a kid in a candy store. The items are displayed in such a way that they're easy to view. No rifling through clutter here! Although one sweep around the store won't do the trick. With each lap you'll find more and more gems perfect for any occassion.

According to Doug, he and Annie wanted to create an atmosphere where shoppers can come hang out and always be comfortable.

The feel of the store is warm and inviting- you'll never get that rush of intimidation you sometimes experience the first time you visit a boutique. You'll instantly feel at home while shopping especially when you are greeted by their adorable and incredibly sweet bulldog.

Offering up incredible styles for men and women alike you'll find customers of all tastes and budgets browsing and finding items in the store.

All the Best for Men and Women
The displays are innovative, enticing and often whimsical with hats prominently displayed on a ceiling pan rack and jewelry cases elegantly shown atop an antique grand piano. Take time while you browse to observe the creativity involved in setting up this shop. The attention to detail is amazing and it shows in every aspect.

Whether your style is bohemian, retro or totally 21st century you'll find the perfect finish for your look at The Annex.

The items you'll find in the store you won't likely see anywhere else in Metro Detroit. Doug and Annie have taken great care with each piece they sell and have traveled throughout the country finding the perfect bags and more with California style tending to reign as one of their favorites.

Looking for the perfect gift for your brother's birthday? Why not grab him an incredible fedora he can sport around town? The Annex is an amazing place to find gifts for everyone. They even have a selection of amazing coffee table books ranging from classic photography to Marilyn Monroe making them the perfect housewarming present for any bachelor or bachelorette pad.

Head to The Annex and instantly feel like you've discovered an amazing gem of a store nestled on Melrose or tucked away in the Village but best of all it's right here in Royal Oak.

The Annex is located at 738 S. Washington in Royal Oak right across the street from OCC.
