MERIDIAN HERITAGE

Women’s fashion options in Montana were hard to come by in the 1990’s, especially in the burgeoning cow town of Bozeman. Andrea ‘Andi’ Bennett, a 4th generation Montanan saw this as an opportunity to provide women with the goods to match their evolving lifestyles.

Andi opened Meridian Boutique in 1993 with a mission to provide everyone who stepped through the shop doors exceptional customer service, a unique selection of handpicked clothing and an unparalleled shopping experience. Her vision was bigger than clothes– she believed everyday was a chance to shine and that what you wear can impact the way you move through the world. The “Art of Dress” was the foundation Andi built Meridian upon, and the basis for everything we do today.

Twenty years later, Haley Connolly sashayed into Andi’s life by way of long-standing history– their ranching families became friends in the 1950’s, and Andi’s father even took Haley’s great aunt out on a date! The two women bonded over their western roots, business ideas, fashion and their mutual love for traveling the world. Their friendship grew into an eventual partnership, and today Haley carries Andi’s legacy with pride through their shared vision for dressing creative women for every moment of her life.
