When it comes to Game Day fashion for UGA fans, savvy shoppers know that Maggie’s Boutique is an essential stop on St. Simons Island. The bright red geraniums outside the store known as “Lady Dawg Headquarters” provide a sunny welcome to accompany the warm hospitality of the staff inside. In addition to stylish women’s fashion, the boutique offers a wide selection of Georgia Bulldog t-shirts and apparel as well as red and black outfits and accessories appropriate for a day in the stands or a night on the town. Owners Merrill Edens and Adgate Cole lovingly continue the legacy established by their brother Ewell Gay, a passionate UGA fan, and take special care to find Georgia items that no-one else carries. Some special items this year include the colorful bulldog by Atlanta artist Chan Art which embellishes everything from t-shirts and hats to notecards and keychains. There’s even a pink and red Chandanna that lets you embrace the current Barbie color trend while showing your team spirit! There’s Dawg attire for the littlest fans and furry family members too.

Above all, Merrill says, “It’s all about fun! We’re gearing up for a big year with glitter and sparkles.” With a twinkle in her eye, she says, “I hesitate to say the word ‘threepeat,’ but…” From her lips to Kirby’s ear! A third championship trophy in early 2024 would be an epic accomplishment and it would come in the same year that Maggie’s marks a half century in business! Both achievements would be well worth celebrating and Maggie’s has everything you need for the party table too! You’ll find serving platters, bowls, napkins, and cups, flags, tablecloths—plus snack and drink mixes and speakers to play your favorite Bulldawg game day songs! As the holidays are approaching, it’s also worth noting that if you need a gift for a special UGA fan, this is the place to look!
