There is such a good vibe within, as owner Mallory is a friendly, kind person who has a lot of unique, hand-made, terrific items. She's a Story City native and a UNI grad, and she fully supports and recommends some nearby shops. I especially loved her greeting cards, candles, charcuterie boards, and cookbooks. The shop is in its fifth year and is thriving. I appreciated the fair pricing and overall quality of the products. We will add Des Moines Mercantile to our stops on future visits to Des Moines.

Amazing people and items! went there with my dad and sister to go look at antiques, found a…read morebeautiful spring bunny rabbit porcelain set, but it was being sold for $40 (amazing prices!) with about 5 pieces, I didn't have $40 but I really wanted one of the mugs, the nice lady behind the counter told me she cannot sell me just one because people pick and choose and leave her stuck, but, as I was leaving, she asked me which one I even wanted, and she told me; "meh, you seem like a good kid, $10." and it made me feel more valued than any other point that day, that is my favorite thing I got on that trip for no other reason than the sheer sentimental value it holds, amazing place, amazing prices, amazing people.

We found this cute little shop to look for Farm like stuff for our new house build. As we walked…read morein and started to browse, I could hear a customer asking the owner about a piece, and if she knew of other shops that might have the same type of table. The owner and very short with this lady, but gave her some info. When the customer left, the owner started to talk bad about this customer to one of her friends and laughing about her question. Its really too bad, as I have a lot of items I need for my ew home, and she had a good prices. I refuse to help a business owner who does not value the people who keep them in business and happy. My hope if she will read this review and reflect on what she should change to be more successful. Again, and very cute shop with good prices, but a very rude owner. You know know who is in your shop listening or is willing to review you. Thanks for reading my ramblings. - Sepi

I didn't make it a priority, but I have recently had the most amazing experience by being in the store. It is affordable unique, and the options to choose from were fantastic. They have some candles and some wax melt options that were amazing and when I got them home, they had some really good room fill of the scent without having to wait for hours. I will definitely be going back because there were at least a dozen other things I wanted to buy, but couldn't afford because of the purchase I had already made I think anyone that walks in there will find something to purchase that they absolutely have to have or is perfect for gifts for others and if you miss this, it's on you because you've missed some thing that is absolutely fantastic. Great job to the owners for making a store be an adventure. Thank you.

Kin in the East Village is the kind of shop you walk into and immediately slow down because there's…read moreso much to take in. The whole space feels warm and intentional soft lighting, crystals lining the staircase, art, jewelry, and the cutest little displays tucked into every corner. It's cozy without feeling cluttered, and everything feels really thoughtfully curated. I loved how it has a mix of things Including unique gifts, cards, home pieces, and little spiritual/wellness touches that make it feel a bit magical. You can tell it's one of those shops where every item was chosen with purpose, not just to fill shelves. It's also just a really calming space to be in. I found myself wandering slowly, picking things up, and actually enjoying browsing instead of rushing through. If you're walking around the East Village, this is 100% a place you have to pop into even just for the vibe. Definitely one of those spots you'll keep thinking about after you leave

The owner has expanded and this location holds all types of wonderful items from artists from across the country. The selection is not overwhelming but gives you plenty to look through. I will probably be back for Lego earrings or hope someone I know sees this and knows that I like them. Wink wink. I really love the IOWA love this owner has as do the many artists displayed there. I really fell for the prints that were being displayed and some of the IOWA jewelry up to purchase. Lots of unique gifts for someone who has everything.
