NEW THIS WEEK:
Now open: Vuefinder Optical
Uptown Minneapolis has welcomed a new locally owned eyewear shop this week, and it’s going to become your new go-to for unique, cool frames. Vuefinder Optical is owned and operated by Nadine Gross, an ABO-certified optician with more than 20 years of experience (you may recognize her from her days at Visionary Optical and eyebobs eyewear) styling clients with the eyewear they love. Gross says the upheavals of the pandemic gave her the push to do what her loyal clients have been suggesting to her for years: open her own store. The eyewear pro is beloved by her clients for suggesting the perfect frame for your face and your style, and getting you the right lenses. The store carry lenses from brands including Killsgaard, Raen, Woow, Fatal Eyewear, Dolabany, The Abord Eyewear Co, and Wolf Eyewear.

NOW OPEN:
Tandem Vintage
After a stint within the FindFurnish storefront in Northeast Minneapolis before hunkering down within its home studio during the pandemic, Tandem Vintage is striking out on its own with its first storefront. Founded by Amanda Baumann in 2011, Tandem specializes in colorful, playful, wearable vintage clothing, accessories and home goods from a mix of decades with a sustainable ethos. During the beginning of the pandemic, she was among the first local vintage sellers to do Instagram story sales—a blink-and-you-miss-it event that was ideal for couch shopping. Now, you can peruse her goods in person at her cozy, colorful storefront, located within the space formerly occupied by The Fitting Room (which has since moved to a larger space next door). Now open @ 316 W 38th St, Minneapolis, tandemvintage.com

In addition to vintage, the duo will sell products by makers (both local and from around the U.S.) who put an emphasis on sustainable practices, especially those from BIPOC & LGBTQIA communities, including Duke Albert, Oya Beauty and Gigi’s Flair Emporium. Now open: Friday & Saturday noon–6pm, Sunday noon–5pm @ 2201 NE 2nd St, Minneapolis, mothoddities.com

LEGACY
After designer resale shop June announced its move to 50th & France, we wondered what was coming to its former storefront near Lyndale & Lake in Uptown. The secret’s now out: The storefront is now home to LEGACY, a vintage clothing and home shop run by June owner Daune Stinson’s daughter, Ruby, who recently moved back home from NYC after over a decade working in the fashion and retail industry. June’s little sister store features a fresh, more casual mix of brands, more vintage goods, and a lower price-point than June, similar to that of most vintage stores. Now open.
