About Old Crow Mercantile

Old Crow Mercantile is a thoughtfully curated BoHo boutique rooted in story, place, and timeless style. Nestled in the rolling hills of Eastern Iowa, the shop is located just one hour from the renowned Field of Dreams, twenty minutes west of the mighty Mississippi River, and within an hour of two scenic state parks known for their breathtaking views and outdoor escapes. This unique setting makes Old Crow Mercantile a natural stop for travelers seeking charm, quality, and a sense of connection to the places they visit.

Found in the heart of Elkader, Old Crow Mercantile feels right at home in a town that effortlessly blends history, culture, and small-town warmth. Elkader is known for its quaint Airbnbs, a respected Earthmoving Legacy Museum, and a welcoming campground located within easy walking distance of downtown. A historic keystone bridge leads visitors into a vibrant main street lined with string lights, creating an inviting glow as dusk settles in and the town comes alive.

Old Crow Mercantile proudly carries sought-after brands that embody free-spirited style and quality craftsmanship. Shoppers will find iconic wool goods and heritage-inspired designs from Pendleton, alongside feminine, layered BoHo pieces from Three Bird Nest. The boutique also features expressive, soul-filled styles from Jaded Gypsy, globally inspired fashion from Arratta, and rugged yet refined apparel from Fieldstone. Together, these brands create a collection that feels effortless, authentic, and endlessly wearable.

Beyond apparel, Old Crow Mercantile offers carefully selected jewelry, distinctive home décor, and handcrafted lavender products sourced from a lavender farm nestled along the Rio Grande in the historic Rio Rancho area near Albuquerque, New Mexico. These artisan goods bring a sense of calm, craftsmanship, and natural beauty into everyday life, echoing the boutique’s dedication to meaningful sourcing and small-batch quality.

A visit to Elkader is more than a shopping trip—it’s an experience. Start your morning at Pedretti’s Bakery, a local staple for generations, then enjoy a crafted cup of coffee or tea at one of the town’s cozy cafés. For lunch or dinner, indulge in upscale Algerian-inspired cuisine at Schera’s, enjoy fish and chips with a pint at Finley’s Irish Pub, or catch a game at the local favorite, TD’s Sports Bar. Art lovers can explore local galleries showcasing regional talent, while those drawn to live performances or cinema will find Elkader endlessly enchanting.

Old Crow Mercantile reflects the spirit of its surroundings—welcoming, artistic, and rich with story—making it a destination where BoHo style, community, and Midwest charm meet.
