Fashion Foward
For carefully-curated clothing, boutiques like Primp, Atelier957, BlackBlue, Spoils of Wear, Trade Winds and Scout feature styles that range from fashionista to functional. Want old school sophistication? Shop Heimie’s Haberdashery for custom-tailored threads, a cigar and a shave. Or visit the Grand Avenue storefront of J.W. Hulme, which started handcrafting fine leather goods in Saint Paul in 1905.
Local Originals
Take away more than memories from your Saint Paul stay. At shops like GoodThings, you’ll find the perfect gift to take home. For a souvenir to savor, grab a bag of Original Chicago Mix from Candyland, indulgent truffles from Legacy Chocolates or something sweet and spicy from The Golden Fig.
Makers markets abound, especially during the lead-up to winter holidays. Shop the pop-up events in places like Union Depot, Landmark Center, XIA Arts, Indigenous Roots and at breweries and food halls. For the latest: VisitSaintPaul.com/events
Vintage Exploration
Whether you like your objects truly antique or truly funky, it’s worth browsing through Barely Bros. Records and MidModMen + Friends at University and Raymond. Make a retro fun run to Lula, Up Six, Succotash and Everyday People at Selby and Snelling. Just down the block, find antique furniture and accessories at The Mall of Saint Paul. Don’t miss the seven rooms full of antiques and memorabilia at Westcott Station on West 7th.
Find a happy place
Mischief Toy Store features an irreverent selection of games, comics, art supplies, anime gifts and more. Stop at the award-winning Red Balloon Bookshop for storytime, author events and books for all ages. For an offbeat experience, Ax-Man Surplus is good for a smile — and a huge surplus of odd and random items.
From malls to makers
Find big brands just outside city limits at the Mall of America, Rosedale Center and Twin Cities Premium Outlets. Minnesota made the mall, after all. The first fully enclosed, climate-controlled indoor shopping area was built in 1957 with the aim of bringing people together to shop, sip coffee and socialize — in the grand tradition of European arcades in cities like Vienna.

Boutique streets
If the mall doesn’t conjure a sense of Old World charm, then you’ll certainly find it in Saint Paul neighborhoods where shops in remodeled 1800s-era brownstones burst with happy flowers, chocolates, dresses, dishes and so much more.
These charming shopping districts offer one-of-a-kind finds, serene spaces to browse for that perfect something and sweet spots to grab a bite or sip a favorite beverage as you go.
