Stoked and Fontenelle are just a few doors down from each other here in the East Village. They…read morehave similar "Portland" vibes and I think complement each other. Fontenelle is perhaps more fashion, while Stoked takes that theme to the sporting outdoors. Hence, there is some overlap in their respective offerings. I wandered in yesterday and admired the selections over 2 floors and discovered some interesting camping and outdoor cooking options. I had a nice chat with an owner and came away knowing that I'd be back with a better developed shopping list. Stoked has a good website to help that along.

Liked their sunglasses display too! An immediate must visit every season.

It is a good feeling when sales associates look up from their desk task, and each greet you with a…read morefriendly smile at best saying "May I Help You" or "Hello There." A kind gentle helped me find a colorful fanny pack and another associate assisted with name brand jogging suits. The fabric, and the trendy look were of reasonable value with an awareness of our global warming utilizing vendors that are planet conscious who use recycled materials to make impressive joggers. I am waiting for more pinks, royal blues, or lively mint greens to jazz up my exercise wardrobe.

I've only heard good things about this place so far so I had to visit it. First impressions are…read morethat it's clean and well organized. For the size of the space, which isn't too big, they still had a great selection. Since we visited after the holidays they had lots of sales. Not as much furniture from what I could tell, but great amount of kitchen dinnerware and clothing! Parking lot is crazy big since it's by a few other places. Driving here was also a breeze since there were quite a few signs leading to it! I'll definitely be checking this place out again soon.

My gf and I stumbled across this thrift store yesterday as we were doing our rounds. I guess it's…read morebeen open for four months, but it hadn't shown up on our radar until now. A wide assortment of clothes and hard goods. As far as layout and in-store vibe I'd put this up as one of the nicest thrift stores in the Des Moines metro!

Any time I've been in Des Moines the last couple years, I've made it a point to stop in at…read moreFontenelle Supply Co. in the East Village area. I swear that I'm walking into a Portland Oregon shop (like Tanner or Machus) when I see the unique collection of leather goods, outdoor accessories (like Filson) and associated fashion (like waxed jeans from Red Clouds Collective of Portland). It's fun to look around and imagine the possibilities. They have their own leather shop in the back and they will do custom orders. I asked that take one of their passport holder designs and add a "flap and snap" feature to keep it all together better. That was done, mailed, and in my hands within a couple weeks.
