1136 Grand Avenue
St. Paul, MN

A consignment shop built into a beautiful Victorian-inspired house off St. Paul’s historic Grand Avenue, My Sister’s Closet features both vintage clothing and current designer brands with out the three-figure price tag. This boutique attracts shoppers of all generations who hate to be told what to wear, who enjoy experimenting with vintage-wear, and who love hunting for discounted designer items.

Their diverse collection is what really makes them stand out amongst other vintage shops; the ground level boasts a bold variety of modern trends and couture, and the next floor hosts a remarkable selection of quality vintage, 60s frocks, and the occasional wedding gown. Mix-and-match between the two floors; pair some dark wash True Religions (only $28) with a vintage blouse, throw in a designer handbag and complete the outfit with a beautifully tailored 1940s  jacket–all for under $100. Shoppers walk out feeling accomplished, with an eye for bargains, and a wardrobe that wont leave them saying, “I have nothing to wear!”
