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!

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!

If I were to come back to the twin cities, I would be sure to stop into the Cat and the Cobra! Locating the store was a little harder than anticipated. It is in the back of the parking lot behind the locked door, but it is the first door inside the building. Not to mention the cool vibes and architecture of the building. I highly recommend walking around and checking it out. There was an amazing selection of any article of clothing you were looking for. I would say the majority of the items were typically priced. Some articles hanging were a little overpriced, but the best part was the bins in the back of the store! I found two shirts in the bins that were $5 each! It was a STEAL of a deal for vintage t-shirts in the condition they were in. I got one ESPN shirt and a Strigus 2006 shirt. Not to mention how fun it is to shift through bins to find those hidden gems of shirts. In addition to a more expensive rainforest cafe t-shirt that was hanging on the walls of shirts. Overall, the service, selection, and value of the store and its articles were top-tier for vintage thrift! I highly recommend stopping in!

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.

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.

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!

However, I carry a small shoulder bag with me. He asked me to check my bag in behind the counter. There is apparently a sign on the door (that I overlooked) that says check bags in. No big deal and I checked it behind the counter . As I looked around I noticed a Caucasian woman and, what appeared to be, her two daughters. All three of them were carrying their bags, which were way bigger than mine. In that moment I decided to keep my money and leave the store. At least be consistent when enforcing a store rule. As if I was going to stick high priced clothing items into my bag and walk out.

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.
