Everyday People Clothing Exchange - St Paul, Minnesota

Overstimulating, overpriced, and no sizing options. Fine if your a women's small, but no one else will find anything here. Always disappointing when places that curate their own inventory have no sizing options, but that's kinda how vintage selling works right now.

Highly, highly recommend this adorable and super thrifty vintage clothing store - it's an experience, not just a shopping excursion. The clothes are in impeccable shape, the staff carefully sort through all items to ensure they only sell good quality items. You can find some real treasures too, if you're looking for name brands. Everything is sorted perfectly in terms of size and type, so you can head straight to what you're looking for if you're in a rush. But you probably want to make sure you're not in a rush because you might miss your dream item of clothing that you didn't know you needed but it's like winning the lottery when you find it. There are several fitting rooms which means you won't have to wait too long. The jewelry and sunglasses section is cool too - particularly for festival goers or those wanting to look exceptionally rad. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they make the whole experience extra awesome - particularly two sweet gals named Nona and Cecile. You can exchange your clothes for store credit which is an absolute bargain, but make sure you don't just bring in your dirty laundry or raggedy ol' stained rejects from your closet because you'll most certainly waste their time and it won't gain you that desirable discount on new items that you're after.

Anyway, I couldn't recommend this place enough!!!

Kitty and Liza are the proprietors, this place offers in store credit on your fine quality, gently used clothes. They like many vintage stores have a nice variety of clothing, jewelry and other blasts of fasion from the past.
I found this place killing time last friday and since the baby was asleep and I sell vintage bulk when I find it, and I find it, I had to check it out. Unlike everybody else, they open an hour earlier! 10 am! I am not sure if that is good or not, because I think the vintageer is a lunch hour and afternoon type. But if you want to start early on a vintage tour, this place opens at 10. Give them a shot I am sure they will be glad you did.

Does not cater to all sizes! I’m a size women’s L and can rarely find items that fit me here. Today, I found a bought a pair of earrings and a dress (for the first time in years) and shared with the sales person that they carry lots of xs/s but nothing bigger than a size L and would love to see more options in larger sizes. The sales person, who is a thin,white woman pushed back and said that it’s hard for them to keep size L/XL in stock party because it’s based off donations and also because “people have gotten bigger over time and they used to be smaller, so the vintage clothes are smaller.” She specifically mentioned the “slim hips” in the design and sizing of 70s jeans, and the “narrowness” of vintage shoes. I shared that there are stores specifically selling larger sizes vintage in places like Chicago and Portland, OR and how there have always been people who have bigger bodies and clothes that fit them. She continued to argue with me, perpetuating ideas of fat-phobia and size exclusivity, eventually not responding to the things I shared.

This interaction was very discouraging. I wish I had not made my purchase to support this shop. As much as I want to love this store, after these experiences I hesitate to go back.

Kinda pricey on some items but definitely an awesome selection! I've included photos of some awesome and quirky finds that I saw around the store.

Fun place with lots of options and some pretty good deals, especially if you get store credit from them! They mostly keep vintage/vintage inspired clothing in stock so keep that in mind when bringing stuff in to exchange. My biggest qualm is that they don't seem to take damages into consideration when pricing items. I've seen clothes with ripped seams, stains, broken zippers, etc. going for $30 or more. This doesn't bother me too much since I know my way around a needle and thread but make sure to keep an eye out if you're not in the mood for mending. I would also steer clear of the metal jewelry, any rings I bought from here tarnished super quickly.

This is by far my favorite vintage/thrift store in the cities. Their collection of clothes is very well curated. There's a nice array of different styles, and they always have some really cool vintage pieces here and there on the racks! It's fun to just even look at what they have, and it's really nice to be able to try stuff on. I always end up coming home with something unique 🙂 The store has such a nice vibe, so just going there also cheers me up. The owner is also really nice and cool! Highly recommended going here (and making this a place you go to regularly, since I often notice some sick new pieces that pop up even just a week after being in there!)
