I really enjoyed the fresh cut florals and made my own bouquet. They also have a nice, spacious outdoor area with plants (season permitting) to find a great variety of options. This is also a definite vibe of a community hub. They have classes and community gatherings which is awesome, and it's also an event space. I definitely recommend popping in!

They have such a beautiful shop with great plant/flower options. They were running low on bouquets but we found a bouquet. They also had a bouquet making bar so that would've been a great back-up. We loved how helpful and kind the staff was and their selection. I'm sure on a less busy day they would have had so much more pout but we were grateful to have snagged a beautiful bouquet. A bit on the pricier side but worth it in my opinion.

Ten pictures are far too few to showcase this shop's beautifully curated collection, but these are a handful of our favorites. My husband and I were especially drawn to the honey, tea, fruit spreads, seasonings, and kitchenware; we are foodies after all. Bundle up to support Urban Matter this week, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse. There's a lot to shop!

That being said, my current review is solely for their clothing selection and the event! I'm not an expert on the vintage curation process, so perhaps I'm biased with my five-star review in that I loved their selection. The European sophistication/sharp business casual/minimalist aesthetic is completely my style, and I had a hard time refraining from purchasing a brand new trench coat, tailored blazer, or wide-leg trousers. I feel like this is a gem in St. Louis, because from my experiences vintage shopping here, it's hard to find stores that aren't catered to the quirky/retro/Y2k aesthetic; this store is for shoppers who prefer to keep it simple and classy, but appreciate adding their own touch. As far as the event goes, I thoroughly enjoyed the DJ and open cocktail/mocktail bar concept. It was so great to get exposure to other great vintage shops in the area!

The Purple Cow is my favorite because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason for what's in the shop, but the randomness makes sense once you're in there! A few of the Purple Cow's specialties include: - A huge collection of vintage postcards, kept in old library card catalog drawers. I love to sift through them and see what vacation spots used to look like. And it's fun to read the used ones...see what kinds of messages people used to send to loved ones back in the day. - Antique hardware. If you're in the market for hooks, pulls or doorknobs, this might be the place for you. They usually don't come in sets, so if you like an eclectic aesthetic, that's a perfect place to purchase items for your house. - Signs. There's a huge, neon parrot sign that I inquired about. It's not for sale, but most of the signs are. There's old street signs, signs advertising products and a random arrow that directs people to the restroom. - There's also a large bookshelf of sports memorabilia near the register. Personally, sports anything doesn't pique my interest. But my boyfriend, who's an avid baseball card collector, said that the collection was pretty interesting. On my first visit, I purchased a framed "paint by numbers" of a ship at sea for our new apartment. It cost $5 and hangs on the wall next to a framed President Garfield on our entry room wall. If that gives you any indication of what kinds of antiques I'm into, then you'll understand why I love the Purple Cow.

They have all the essentials you could need doing standard work on your house, plus more. I was super impressed with their selection for such a small hardware store. You're not going to find everything, but call and confirm because they are super quick to answer and help. And the service you get. Wow! Their employees are super knowledgeable and eager to help. They're super easy to talk to and don't make you feel inconvenient at all. Such a cool, local spot that we will definitely be supporting moving forward.

The store and staff are amazing, and it just feels good going there. They're especially great bc I'm always clueless on what I need to do the job, so they help me figure it out, take me to what I need and explain how to use it. Beyond being a hardware store, they also offer rug doctor rentals and a variety of services you can't find many places, all of which come with the best quality and service: - key cutting way better than a big store - window screen building and repair - glass cutting (wish I knew this sooner bc I've been driving farther to get glass cut for side tables and such) - pipe threading and cutting - blade sharping - window glazing - lock mastering and rekeying and others I'm probably forgetting. It's way better than supporting a big box store! Shop local!
