The Rainbow Flirty Braidy is BACK!

One of our most popular sandals this summer finally just came back in stock! We’ve got fresh Flirty Braidys in Sierra Brown & Dark Brown on the shelf.

Why we love them:
• Classic Rainbow comfort
• Braided leather strap for a little extra style
• Gets even better as you break them in
• Built to last for years

With school starting, UVA move-in around the corner, and plenty of sandal weather left in Virginia, the timing couldn’t be better.

We sold through these fast last time, so don’t wait too long!

And if the Braidy isn’t your style, we’ve got plenty of other Rainbow styles and colors in the shop—plus new fall arrivals coming in almost every day, including Women’s Barbour!

Women's Barbour is Back at The Angler!

A longtime Angler favorite has returned—and just in time for fall.

We're excited to have a great selection of women's Barbour back in the shop, including three of our favorites:

• Classic Beadnell — the iconic Barbour waxed jacket
• Cropped Beadnell — a fresh, modern take on the classic
• Polarquilt — quilted warmth without the bulk

Plus, we've got Barbour sweaters, layers, and more arriving for the season.

Classic style, great quality, and pieces you'll wear year after year. Come by the shop and try some on!
