Able Sisters is a clothing shop you can find on Main Street in New Leaf, owned by the three Able sisters; Mabel, Sable, and Labelle (whose name is revealed by Sable to have originally been 'Label', which better matches the other two sisters, but changed her name to Labelle for the sake of her brand as advised by Gracie). The shopfront has two entrances - one with a green top on the door, which leads to the main clothes store, ran by Sable and Mabel, and one with a pink bow on the door, which leads to the accessories section, ran by Labelle. The two sections are also connected internally, so the player can easily access one section from the other.

In the clothing section, the player can buy clothing (tops, dresses, and bottoms), save custom designs, create pro designs, and scan QR Codes for new designs. The clothing available changes on a daily basis, with either three tops or two tops and a dress available, and two bottoms. Interacting with these will cause Mabel to reveal which category the clothes belong in (Sporty, Cute, Iconic, Rock 'n' Roll, Official, Ornate, Flashy, Modern, Historical, or Basic). By interacting with Mabel, the player is given the option to create a 'pro' design, which allows a more detailed level of customisation than a regular custom design for the price of 500 Bells, or save a custom design in the store, which allows other villagers to be seen wearing it, and frees up space in the player's design inventory. Eight custom designs can be displayed in the store at any one time. By interacting with Sable, the player will learn more about the Able sisters themselves, and eventually be given the option to use a large sewing machine at the back of the store to scan QR Codes with the 3DS camera for new designs.

In the accessories section, the player can buy a variety of accessories, which will vary from day to day. These include helmets, hats, glasses and face accessories, and umbrellas. There are, at any one time, three hats/helmets/hair accessories on display, three facial accessories/glasses, and one umbrella. Interacting with these will cause Labelle to inform you whether the item is unisex, for men, or for women, and trying it on will reveal which category the item belongs to. The only exception to this is the umbrella, which the player is not allowed to 'try on', and do not belong to any category. Speaking to Labelle will only trigger one of a few lines of flavour text, unlike the other two sisters.

Once Shampoodle is unlocked, it will be located above Able Sisters, and accessed via an external staircase.
