This is such a darling store! I'd been in a few times before, and when my friend came to town for a thrifting weekend, I knew this had to be on the list. I'd classify this as more gift shop / boutique vibes than a true thrifting experience: they have a bunch of darling local or handmade goodies that are perfect for gifting. I always find things I love here - I bought some felted flowers last time! They also have secondhand clothing in the back half of the store, many with a vintage vibe, very well curated. The space is bright and airy and fun to poke around! Prices are in line with what you'd expect from a gifting boutique. read more

The cutest store! I try to buy most of my clothing second-hand so I love Belle Weather's huge selection of resale clothing. In addition to second-hand, they also stock cute gift items and accessories! The perfect combo! I love places like Belle Weather where you can get an outfit for an occasion and potentially a gift, and more! They have really great annual sidewalk/fill-a-bag sales and a great exchange policy if something doesn't fit right! Parking in this area is also really easy and accessible! read more

This is such a fun store. Excellent gifts and there's always something that catches my eye. Like this well-hung light switch! read more

Belle Weather - Women's Clothing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

An ever changing jumble of affordable and fun clothes & gifts. Good for funny cards and especially good for handbags and shoes!

Belle Weather is a small gift shop, with crafty-type stuff, jewelry, crocheted things, cards, etc. I have to agree with Ellen R that it's pretty comparable to other girly gift stores. And frankly, there's nothing compelling enough here to make me choose Belle Weather over a place like Honeyshine or Paper Hat or I Like You, where the merchandise is more artist and/or local-centric (and cuter, arguably). The positive was that the shop girl was really kind and welcoming, so the experience was still very pleasant. Anyway, it's not my taste, but it might be yours... so it won't do you any harm to check 'em out and decide for yourself. read more

I live around the corner from this place and come in all the time- it's where I go when I'm looking for a party dress, wedding dress, spring skirt, etc. The prices are better than other second hand stores and so are the clothes. There's even an Anthropologie section! (For a fraction of the price). I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear something from Belle Weather. Also this is the perfect spot to get a card gift- lots of cute patina-like things, scarves, candles, etc. It's easy to support local businesses when they are like Belle Weather. read more

I live just blocks away from Belle Weather and was dying to stop in for the past few months. I finally made it this past weekend and was not so impressed. The shop tries to achieve a mash of cute/artsy home decor, jewelry, cards, and trinkets (similar to Patina or The Bibleot). However, the actual style and selection of items is confusing and overall uninteresting. They sell Papaya wall art amongst metal cat and dog sculptures, seen-it-before jewelry, cheesy leather animal purses, and other random bits. The only items that sparked any interest in me were some picture frames and candle accessories. The prices are comparable to other "unique" gift stores, but the shop doesn't really hold anything unique itself. The store could use better focus on buying and unifying merchandise with some common thread (in buying and display). I'm not sure if I'll return, for nothing really fit in with my personal taste, but I encourage others to check it out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

A great store with unique gift ideas. The owner of the store went out of her way to special order some items that she used to have, but sold out of. Her taste in scarves and jewelry is phenomenal--I can't go in there without purchasing something. Highly recommend this shop for unique gifts for others, and of course yourself. read more

I ADORE this store! I lived a block away for six months before I finally stopped in to see what the floral umbrellas were all about and was pleasantly surprised to find a massive selection of local jewelry, accessories and home decor as well as a large area of secondhand clothes. I immediately brought my friends and visiting family members in and spread the good word. The staff is always very sweet. After my first few visits the owner of the store got to know me and my style and would point out new arrivals she thought I'd love- and she was always right. Am I too predictable? Maybe. Will I buy anything with a cat on it? Yes! This is my go-to store for stand out accessories. From a light scarf with a space photo emulsion dyed on it to a tiny little hat with cat ears, if you love weird cute things you'll love this place. read more

Belle Weather is a great store to find unique items similar to those that you would find at Patina or Bibleot, but best yet, Belle Weather's prices are so much more reasonable! Case in point, I bought a very chic clutch there today for $28 and I have yet to find a (cute) purse at Patina that's less then $40. I also love the personal attention given to me by the owner each time I am there. I have given gifts from Belle Weather & all the recipients love them! Belle Weather is a great store to find reasonably priced gifts...for a friend or you! read more

Really adorable items at good price points. I love their scarves and hats (not just wintery). They also have cute home decor items. Check it out! read more

This shop has some of the funnest gifts in the city - always new, funky stuff! At way better prices than the more well-known gift stores. And cute second-hand clothes, too - brands like Anthropologie, Free People, Banana Republic - in a lot of sizes. I always find something great for myself when I shop here for gifts. read more

One thing previous reviewers haven't mentioned-- Belle Weather has trendy, inexpensive used clothing, plenty in sizes 14/16. You can buy yourself a $20 top that will get you compliments! Everything is clean, useful, and in good repair. read more

Love this place , friendly owner and staff!! Seriously the best place to buy unique gifts ( example similar to Francesca's , but better) also love the clothing it is used , but in quality condition always!! I love to talk about this place as much as I can because it is certainly a hidden wonder!! read more

Love this store! I always go here first if looking for a gift, or if I want to spend time shopping around. Staff is always very pleasant and sweet. My only complaint is at times it seemed picked over, or they would have one loner item (like a journal). My raves are; great boots and purses. Also, love the magnets! read more

Great all around gift shop, whether shopping for others or yourself, I've never been let down. Belle Weather offers a wide array of useful and kitschy items for both men and women from wearable to kitchen. Love the locally made items, especially the jewelry- ALWAYS receive compliments on the unique locally crafted pieces I find there. Great price point and friendly staff. The owner is a doll. Belle Weather also carries an eclectic assortment of consignment/resale low to mid-range priced clothing items from a variety of designers. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Located next door to June. The owner told me once that she looks for Anthropologie, Free People, styles. Go to the back of the store - the front is a gift shop. Nice that there is a crazy amount of inventory - makes browsing easy and relaxing. They also carry great jewelry made by local artists. read more

I went shopping last week and had my 4 yr. old daughter with me. We went to Belle Weather and June next door. Our first stop was at June after a bit of time there my daughter needed to go to the bathroom. The owner of June normally doesn't have a bathroom for customers but in this case of a little girl needing to go she gladly cleared the space that is more used as storage than bathroom to help my daughter. Very thoughtful and helpful. Next we went to Belle Weather where my daughter needed a bathroom again.After hearing my daughter pleading to go to the bathroom desperately, the lady working refused to let my 4 yr old daughter use their bathroom. I was trying to change and put away the things I planned on trying on to get my daughter to a bathroom. We ended up RUNNING across the street to Painter Park but it was too late and she couldn't hold it. She ended up feeling embarrassed and defeated. I have never in my life had anybody refuse use of a bathroom. Much less to a little girl that desperately has to go. Never again will I support this place. Disgusted with the lack of kindness and helpfulness that could have easily been given. read more

I live in Milwaukee and I come to this store everytime I am in town, I LOVE IT!!! I have gotten so much beautiful jewelry and handcrafts. Prices are very reasonable and quality is exceptional. I am always sending people to this store and they have never been disappointed. Thank you for opening a great store with class. read more

Super cute ... great card and gift selection ... and the prices are very reasonable. If I lived in Minneapolis, I would visit often!

I live just down the street from Belle Weather. It's a great little shop filled with fun accessories. The prices are better than other gift shops around, and I like that it's owned by a local (who, in fact, is very friendly and helpful). She makes some of the items herself, and supports other local artists. The lip balms are particularly fantastic. My favorite part was the book exchange. Take a book, leave a book. It feels like a shop that wants to be part of a community. I recommend stopping in on your way to Gigi's. :) read more
