    We are in Minneapolis, visiting our daughter and son in law, who bought a very cool house in…read morePlymouth. As loving parents, we want to help them furnish their home with furniture they will cherish. Repurpose Republic has the best stuff and the best prices in the city. I know, because we spent all day checking out consignment stores in every nick and corner of the Twin Cities. (They're certainly not identical twins!) The proprietor Doug is engaging and informative. He has an eye for a pieces that are architectural beauties. Yet, he can also turn that basement throw away into something that should be displayed in the Museum of Modern Art. Repurpose Republic is the kind of place you want to return to often, just to see what new beauty shows up on the showroom floor. Unfortunately, Repurpose Republic was our first stop, and I was exhausted with all the wasted hours visiting other consignment stores. Save yourself some time and just "hit up" Repurpose Republic. It's the best.

    I'm new to NE and happened to spot a post about this store on the I Love NE Mpls Facebook group and…read morehave been wanting to hunt it down. While driving past after hanging out with my mom, I slammed in my brakes and whipped a U-ee. Lucky me with my good parking juju, I was able to pull in right out front. I love a good repurpose store and now living in NE I'm in need of some lighting that fits the whole cool Nordeast vibe. This store is chock full of mid century/retro/some redesigned stuff all without that old people basement smell. (Thank God!) This place has more mid century lamps in one store than I've ever seen in my life!! There are a few super groovy ones that would be a blast to have just for conversation it would conjure up all on its own. The con: maybe it's my jacked up NE Mpls rent I'm now paying or my lack of experience on the cost of retro lighting but I'm not sure I can afford these prices. Boo...because I had a good 5 different lamps/lamp sets that my heart was pitter-patterning over. I was able to chitchat with the owner for a bit before there was a sudden Saturday afternoon rush that poured in. I had asked "if it was consignment? Just him buying/reselling? Buy from others that bring things in off the street?" He responded with "All three" and let me know that he also has some local artist work displayed for sale as well. (Ya, this girl is totally into the whole "support local" thing!) I'll definitely be back to see what cools finds get added...and probably be back for a few lamps...after payday.

    Stopped here after seeing their sandwich board and spent a few minutes looking through stuff. This…read moreis one of those vintage stores that is much more male than femme so I was bored pretty fast, lots of flannel, t-shirts and jackets. There was a bin in the back that was lower cost but it was mostly sweaters and shirts that weren't my style and not what I need at the moment. Nothing to bring me back here honestly but there are certain types of people that would love this. Prices seemed steep but it's vintage and they can get away with it.

    I'm torn on how to rate The Cat and the Cobra. I was excited to see a vintage clothing store tucked…read moreaway in what seems like a warehouse section of the North Loop. Plenty of parking in the shared lot or on the street. You'll need to be buzzed into the store as the door is locked. Once inside the shop is pretty small and jam packed with stuff....almost too much stuff. It was hard to look at items and the vibe felt a little meh. I still wanted to browse and find something to take home, I'm not sure if I missed the memo for sizing on tops but it was hard to know which section I should be looking in. There were some great finds in there, but also pretty expensive. Previous reviews mentioning prices seem to be several years old so keep in mind that you'll be spending a lot depending on what you're looking for. I will say- if vintage is your style and you're open to what you wear this would be a good stop. If you're a little more picky and looking to save some money this may not be the best option.

When I saw it on the hanger there was a stain on the material, which is thin and now needs to be dry cleaned. He also lost the spare button so now the sleeve is missing a button and he didn't reinforce the other buttons like I requested and paid for. More importantly, when I brought it to his attention, he yelled at me when I told him about the stain and said I sounded "like the other women who complain" , grabbed my dress , which I grabbed back because it was already paid for. Then, he raised his fist in preparation to strike me, and yelled at me. I left the store. He yelled at me to leave when I got in my car. I called for help inside my car and he charged towards my car. I locked the doors and he started banging on my window with cash in his hand saying, "just take it." I never asked for a refund, even though he didn't do the job right. He wouldn't go away so I had to call the police. I don't know what this man's problem is, but don't go here. This man is violent.
