They are located in the Trenholm Plaza, which since I graduated from college has turned into real shopping destination. The items in the store run the gamut from jewelry all the way to upholstered furniture. I love the mix of textures in the shop. It's easy to feel intimidated in a place like this, but several staff members asked if they could help us. While we ultimately didn't find what we needed here, I have no doubt that next time we are searching for something that MACK will be on our list of places to stop! MACK also offers interior design services for both residential and commercial spaces. Follow them on Facebook to see more great photos and keep up with special offers.

This is a wonderful store with an eclectic mix of unique pieces of furniture, home furnishing, artwork, jewelry and other accessories. The thing that drew me in the most were the items that make a house feel like a home... an adorable set of salt and pepper shakers, a fabulous bar set, or an adorable set of cocktail napkins that would surely liven up any party. The store goes on forever (I never realized how big that space is) so you'll have plenty of things to see and choose from. This is a great place to pick up an unexpected gift or a little something for yourself. I'm sure I'll be stopping by again soon!

They carry everything from ottomans to ocelots (stuffed, of course), with an emphasis on Asian, African, and clean contemporary designs. The winding showrooms are filled to the brim with all kinds of treasures. Yes, you will pay through the nose for their lighting and furniture, but the occasional bargain can still be found. There really is something for everyone here, and the best part is that they feature handmade goods and local artwork alongside ultramod Scandinavian desk lamps and the like. My only beef is that the service can be snotty and careless unless you're spending $2000 on a loveseat. Great storefront parking.

They looked at us and pretty much rolled their eyes and made their way past us to another couple that looked like they had more money than we did (too bad looks can be deceiving). We didn't even rank high enough to get a "hello" or a greeting at all. There were a few things that I really liked, but with treatment like that I'll be more than happy to buy direct from the artist or spend my money somewhere else.

I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

It can be best described as a "co-shop" space... there are a few different shops offering a variety of ideas from vinyls, art pieces, apparel, to herbs/wellness. Not only do they sell items but they tend to have workshops on Fridays, and Saturdays that vary from sewing, journal making, herbal mock tails and more. (You can find what's going on through their Instagram). We loved Errapel located here as we were able to pick herbs out that would help with certain wellness issues like anxiety, insomnia, concentration and more. The owner of Errapel took her time to explain them to us, guide us and was a delight just speaking to her. I would say it's worth stopping by and seeing if any of the events or shops interest you.
