If you’ve unlocked the Able Sisters clothing shop, you may have wondered “Where’s Labelle?”. Labelle first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk, after falling out with Sable. Wanting to pursue her dreams as a fashion designer, she decided to head to the city. In City Folk, Gracie hired Label (her birth name) to run the GracieGrace store, but made her change her name to Labelle. She also appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where she keeps the name Labelle, but no longer works for Gracie. Labelle runs the accessory shop next to the Able Sisters clothing shop. Seemingly having made ammends with Mabel and Sable in New Leaf, you may be curious as to where she is, and what she’s up to. If so, here’s how to meet Labelle in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

How To Meet Her

In order to meet Labelle, you will first need to have unlocked and built the Able Sisters clothing shop. You can find out how to do this here. Once the Able Sisters are open for business, Labelle may pay a visit to your island. The day and time she appears is random, however, she can always be found in the Plaza.

What Is She Up To?

If you see her in your plaza, with her suitcase and bag, be sure to speak with her. You may then be surprised to see that she has decided to revert to using her birth name, Label. She is attempting to make it big as a fashion deisgner. Therefore, she is ‘traveling to lots of different places’ to ‘see and learn about as many styles’ as she can.

Style Exercises

Each time she visits, she will ask for you to assemble an outfit of a certain theme and model it for her. She will give you an item of clothing from her chosen theme ‘so you have an idea of the look she’s going for’.

You can simply just change into the piece of clothing that she gives you to get a reward. However, it’s fun to try and dress from head to toe in clothing that match her desired theme. Either way, she compliments you (no matter how silly you look).

In return for modelling the clothing, she will give you a clothing item from her fashion label, which she calls ‘Labelle’ in honour of her previous name.

She will also mail you a ‘Tailor Ticket’. This can be used to purchase an item costing 3,000 bells or less at the Able Sisters store. This suggests she is still on relatively good terms with her two hedgehog siblings.

Sable’s Thoughts

Like in previous mainline games in the series, Sable will warm to you and chat more if you speak to her each day. After speaking with her a few times, she will give her thoughts on Label’s decision to become an independent fashion designer. Sable is disappointed that Label isn’t around to help out.

However, Mabel cheers her up, and reminds her that they made a promise to take care of the shop whilst Label is gone.
