When I walked into the store I was greeted by Danielle, the owner. She couldn't have been more friendly and I loved hearing her story about how she decided to open her own shop. Retail experience seems to run in the family as her mom owns a shop in the Galleria and she also had an aunt in the business too. You'll be sure to find something here so check out this great addition to Excelsior!

Being pregnant, I absolutely loved the oversized baggy loungewear. I ended up purchasing two oversized tops, an athletic dress and a beautiful overall jean dress along with some cute blue buggy baby earrings to wear at my baby shower. While known for all the handbags, don't sleep on the earrings and boutique clothing. The clothing isn't for everyone, but if you like baggy - they have what you need. Every product is color coded and the plethora of earrings could take months to observe thoroughly. While there are tons of handbags, I actually think there are far more earrings and jewelry pieces. There's a single dressing room at the back of the store. They advertise for 3 items only, although, I think they should update this policy. I followed it by hanging everything directly outside the dressing room, yet it felt pointless to reach my arm out when I was done with 3 items just to swap out for new items. I loved all the bag options. My favorite one was a pink teacup. There were bags resembling books, a Rubik's cube and so much more. Luckily today when I stopped in, everything was 20% off. I talked to the sales clerk and she mentioned that if you follow them on Facebook, they will often do last chance sale items. If you want something unique and funky, shop here!

They also sell boutique clothing as well. The jewelry and boutique clothing weren't quite my style, but it was fun to poke around in here before our reservation at Hazel's across the street. I'd say more of a 40s-60s demographic for style and accessorizing pieces. Service was very friendly!

Lots of free parking options nearby & in a convenient location in St Paul. Immediately as I was walking in I fell in love with the colors, selection of goods to search through, and textures everywhere. It's not overwhelming, but it seems like everywhere you look there's more to see. It also smells great in the store! Sometimes when I go to curated vintage stores they're a little out of my budget, but The Mustache Cat really had something for everyone and all price ranges. For example, there was a really sweet almost neon orange retro mushroom lamp for about $130, and across the room there was a cozy vintage ceramic soup bowl for $12. I loved Rebecca's curated selections, and she was kind, inviting, and helpful. Worth noting is that it can be easy in the space to accidentally bump into things. A couple items took a little tumble while I was there (gasp!!!! Always a scary moment) and it was met with the kind assurance, "we are not a museum, it's ok!" So nice! One of the unique things about The Mustache Cat is that the inventory is either thrifted and curated by Rebecca or is created by women makers. She had a corporate job before opening TMC and this is her big dream. I can tell looking around that she's passionate about her business and loves what she does. Great spot for decor, paper goods, candles, and more. Lovely place to find gifts for yourself or someone else! And the stock is ever changing so there's always a reason to come back ;)

The store was very crowded for this reason, but it's already a super teeny store so it was a lot. We patiently waited for the machine and got some cute prints!

Then they cover the patches in a heat-protecting film, and put them wherever you want them.
