Hammond Downtown Development District

06/11/2026

One year ago, Amanda Pace opened the doors to Stable & Coop with a vision of creating more than a vintage shop. She wanted a place where people could gather, create, learn, and feel at home.

Today, Stable & Coop has become one of Downtown Hammond's most unique spaces. Part vintage boutique, part creative hub, and part cozy escape, it's a place filled with sewing lessons, tarot readings, community classes, carefully curated treasures, and even a resident shop cat named Duchess Louisa.

Read our latest blog to learn more about Amanda's journey from selling vintage children's clothing online to building a "Neverland for women" right here in Downtown Hammond.

Then join the celebration this Saturday, June 13th, from 6–9 PM for Divine Madness: A Most Curious Celebration as Stable & Coop marks one year in downtown.
