Able Sisters Shop

Lore & Background

Mabel and Sable are hedgehog characters who manage a clothing store known as the Able Sisters. The shop has been a fixture in the series since the first game, providing players with a rotating selection of shirts, dresses, hats, and accessories. In later games, the shop also offers a custom design service, allowing players to create and share their own patterns. The sisters are known for their distinct personalities: Sable is quiet and focused on her sewing, while Mabel is outgoing and handles customers.

Reader's Guide

To make the most of the Able Sisters Shop, visit daily to check the rotating stock of clothing and accessories. Items are tied to the in-game season and time, so check back during different months for seasonal wear. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the shop also features a custom design kiosk where you can create, download, and apply patterns to clothing. Talk to Mabel and Sable regularly—Sable may share sewing tips or become more talkative over time. The shop is open during standard daytime hours; check the in-game clock to plan your visit.
