Reclaimed by Hazel Laine Celebrates Grand Opening in Manistique

A fresh take on resale shopping brings affordable fashion, unique

finds, and a welcoming boutique experience to Schoolcraft County

MANISTIQUE, MI – Finding fashionable clothing at affordable prices just got a little easier in Manistique! Reclaimed by Hazel Laine, owned by local entrepreneur Nicole Nolan, officially celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce (STC) on Friday, October 23.

Reclaimed by Hazel Laine is bringing a fresh and fun approach to resale shopping, combining the affordability of secondhand finds with the charm and atmosphere of a boutique. With carefully selected, high-quality, pre-loved clothing, customers can discover unique pieces, everyday essentials, and unexpected treasures without stretching their budgets.

For Nolan, opening Reclaimed was about making fashion accessible to everyone. Already the owner of Hazel Laine, a boutique located inside The Mill in Manistique, she recognized an opportunity to serve customers looking for quality clothing at a more affordable price point.

In addition to her retail boutiques, Nolan also offers custom apparel through Hazel Laine, creating custom shirts and sweatshirts for businesses, organizations, and special events. This adds another creative service to her growing business ventures and provides opportunities for local businesses and groups to showcase their identity through custom apparel.

“I have always loved thrift shopping and finding those great deals, so creating Reclaimed was a natural fit,” said Nolan. “We wanted to offer a place where people could find quality, stylish clothing at prices almost everyone can afford. Many of our items are under $15, and we do the hunting so our customers can enjoy the treasures!”

The name Reclaimed reflects the business's mission to give clothing a second chance, whether it's rescuing a great vintage denim jacket, finding a quality piece that deserves a new home, or giving an item a little extra personality through upcycling. Nolan carefully curates the inventory to offer customers the excitement of discovering something special with every visit. Shoppers will find a variety of clothing and footwear, with sizes ranging from infants and youth to women's apparel. Whether customers need snow pants for the winter, dress pants for a last-minute event, a holiday outfit, or simply want to browse for something unique, Reclaimed offers a little something for everyone.

But this isn't your average resale shop! Nolan has put a great deal of thought and creativity into designing a cozy, welcoming space that feels more like a second home than a traditional resale store. The shop even includes a small play area to keep little ones entertained while parents enjoy shopping.

“Nicole has brought something fun and unique to our local business community,” said Victoria George, Executive Director of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce. “Reclaimed is a great example of an entrepreneur recognizing a need in our community and finding a creative way to fill it.

Having more shopping options that offer quality, variety, and affordability is a win for our residents and visitors. We are excited to celebrate Nicole's growth and welcome Reclaimed as another great addition to Manistique's downtown business community.”

Nolan credits much of the business's growth to the support she has received since opening Hazel Laine and gives a special thank-you to the owners of The Mill for encouraging and supporting her along the way.

Looking ahead, Nolan hopes to continue growing her business ventures, with the long-term vision of bringing Reclaimed and Hazel Laine together into a hybrid boutique space with an expanded play area for children.
