If you’re looking to where to go to shop, when in the Twin Cities, this is your list. Remember that clothing and shoes are tax-free in Minnesota!
The Foundry Home Goods
With a space as beautiful as this, it’s worth a pop-in for inspiration alone. Thoughtful home goods are designed for slow living, and I love that they even have imported goods from Japan. From time to time, there are pop-up shops for local designers as well.

For those who love clothing that is ethically and sustainably created, Parc Shop has the best curation of women’s clothing and jewelry. It’s a small shop in the North Loop with great designers like Paloma Wool, Donni, and Intentionally Blank.

A primarily women’s clothing store that focuses on elevated wardrobe essentials, their selection of basics to specialty jewelry is amazing. Most of the brands are independent with some locally made.

For all things baby and children, you’ll love Pacifier Kids. There are several global brands and some local designers, all curated in this store with four locations in the Twin Cities (North Loop, Edina, Highland Park in St. Paul, and Wayzata).

This women’s boutique is a total hit. I love that it’s more than just women’s fashion, but also amazing art, objects, and home goods. I saw a handful of well-known designers, and even some of Rachel Comey’s earrings available.

You have it all in this two-story home in Excelsior. This thoughtfully curated boutique has artwork, women’s fashion, jewelry, candles, vases, and many other fun finds. A great place to start your boutique perusing downtown.

A selection of well-known brands (think The Great and Cleobella), elevated home goods, and apothecaries can be found here. I would have taken everything home from this store if I could have.

It’s so cute from the outside, and inside, a selection of goods for men. They had a wide range of men’s fashion and accessories, even things like cocktail kits and apothecary.
