Wow, such a fun shop to poke around in!…read more I've come in twice now: once with a friend during a thrift weekend, and once before eating at Hazel's across the road. There's always something to find here! There's a lot of vintage, secondhand clothing here - and nothing is boring. Think bold colors and patterns, quirky designs, and out-there materials. Statement pieces for sure! There are certainly some staples as far as accessories and footwear goes, too. But much of the accessories are quirky and unique: think doll hands for earrings kind of vibe! There's a decent amount of knick-knacks and giftables here as well, that are more local artisan made or new. The store can feel a bit overwhelming at first entrance, so take it by section and putz with an open mind. Prices were on par with higher-end vintage stores, but they do run some sales a few times each year. There is a dressing room with a curtain for trying things on!

The only thing is their vintage clothing do have a distinctive odor... so one wouldn't want to stay in there too long to browse.

We weren't looking for anything in particular, just passing through, but it was a blast to see what they had. Everything felt well maintained and curated, and easy to shop through without being cluttered. There is a try-on area and a three-sided mirror, with someone trying on a beret - just peak vintage shop vibes. The staff members were all dressed to the NINES - they are their own advertisements for what expertise they offer. Don't expect thrifting prices here - this is a higher end, curated vintage shop and prices reflect that. If you're a lover of all things vintage, you've gotta come check this out!

This is very not my vibe, so I wasn't as interested in the items in this store, but it was very well organized, bright, and spacious. Definitely go check it out as part of your NE vintage shop loop.

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.

Store was pretty busy when I went so it made me a bit nervous moving.m around rooms are parked with items. I realized this was more than just an antique shop, kind of thrift shop vibes. Like they had really old vintage items with modern day items mixed in; like Stanley cups next to cassettes. Trendy jewelry and such. It's generally cool to look at all the randomness. Prices seemed fair as far as things I checked for. It's two floors. The basement had a room with clothes, and some other stuff. Again tight spaces. Staff were nice and chatty at the checkout. Plenty of street parking out front.

The weather was mild when we visited and small furnishings were displayed outside-- including vintage toys, and lawn furniture. Inside the shop is fun, playful and colorful. Merchandise ranges from classic to kitschy, vintage to new-but-cool. Clothing, housewares, decor and more are artfully layered in room after room. We took home several reasonably priced items and we'll be back!

I decided to look around the rest of the store and found some other gorgeous items, coats, rings, etc. I LOVE their collection of glassware (vases/pitchers/etc)!! I thought it was so gorgeous. I sadly didn't get anything because vintage glassware like this is never cheap but I thought the price they had it for was very reasonable compared to some other vintage shops. They have comics, toys, clothes, shoes, little collectible things, posters, etc. I thought their selection was great! I wish they had a little more for the women's that felt a little younger? But, that's just my taste. The staff is always very nice and attentive!

Fantastic collections!! I go there every few weeks. The Lucky Me stalls are outstanding!read more

This place was a 3.5/5 for me. Being in Uptown you'll need to find and pay for street parking…read morebefore your shopping can begin. While there are women's clothing items this feels more like a mens apparel store. It's also marketed as a vintage shop, but there are very much modern pieces. Most of the items weren't my personal style. Pricing for items felt like regular store prices. You won't really be saving money by shopping here, but you'll help keep pieces out of the landfill/Goodwill.

I'd say that the prices are around what you'd expect for a curated vintage store, around $50+ for a pair of jeans, but with some items being cheaper ($10 for a hanky/scarf, for example). I had a really nice time perusing around, but didn't end up buying anything this time. I think when I'm searching for denim, this will be an early stop for me!

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.

If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

I had a pretty crummy experience at June today, the Edina location…read more I went in with about 15 Karen Millen dresses and blazers, sizes 8 and 6, freshly dry cleaned and in very good condition. The owner (I assume she was the owner) looked them over while I looked around the store. When I went back up to the front, all she said was, "I'll pass." I was a bit surprised, so I said, "Can I ask why?" She said, "They have a strong dry cleaning smell, so maybe if you put them in the backyard or something." (I smelled them again and I honestly don't smell anything, but whatever.) I said, "Okay, so if I do that... is there anything here you'd take? Because I don't want to do all of that and lug everything back and you're just not interested." She very curtly said, "I don't know, I didn't really look." No smile, no "thanks for coming in." (Her associate who was working there was nice.) The whole time, she was just very curt and abrasive with me. And even though I was there to try to sell clothes, if she had treated me like that if I had walked in there to buy clothes, I would have NEVER bought anything from her. I definitely would have felt unwelcome and walked out. My negative review is not based on her decision not to buy my clothes. That's totally her decision - I was disappointed, but that's fine. My negative review is based on how she treated me. I felt she was very rude to me the whole time. I will not try to sell anything there anymore, nor will I go in to buy anything either. (The owner will probably do a reply on this review, and that's fine. I believe that my review is objective of what happened, and readers can make their own decision.)

It's across the street from our all-time favorite ice cream shop, Crema, so it's not as if she had to twist my arm. However! It took us several tries, due to their 6pm closing time, before we finally got in. I geeked out big time, I'll admit it. Minneapolis is the best, I repeat, the BEST city for vintage clothing (affordable, and otherwise) and June is a great addition to my usual rotation of secondhand stores. The owner, Daune, is really sweet, and the dressing rooms have two very important elements: red velvet curtains and flattering light. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SHOE RACK OH MAH GOD IT IS AMAZING. Seriously. For serious. Seriously. No, I'm really serious about this: Manolo Blahnik, D&G, Marc Jacobs, Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Te Casan...most run for less than $100 and are presented beautifully on high, white shelves in the back room. Great purses and wallets (Vivienne Westwood...oooooooooh), though those will cost you a pretty penny. The clothing racks are full of great finds, albeit some questionable ones (what is a Guess? denim miniskirt doing next to Oscar de la Renta?), but there's no way you'll leave here empty-handed. I bought: Marc Jacobs Black Nubuck Mary Janes ($45) Anna Sui Black Lace Goth-Style Dress ($55) Gold Sunburst Cocktail Ring with Blue Stone ($20) Do...you...have...ANY...idea...how much these items would cost in a New York high-end vintage shop?
