St. Louis is home to the best ice cream shop in the world, Starbucks’ first coffee ice cubes, the MLB Cardinals, and some seriously stellar shopping. Namely vintage shopping.
The vintage clothing and furniture market is vast in this midwestern city. There are modern takes on thrift stores, fancy consignment and curated boutiques.
But vintage shopping is only one piece of the stylish puzzle that makes up the shopping experience in St. Louis. It’s also rife with record shops, spice markets and local beer treasure troves.
Lucky for us, many shops also offer online shopping, so even if a trip to St. Louis isn’t in your future, you can still take advantage of its wide-ranging shopping scene. Take a look at our six picks for some of the best shopping in St. Louis.
