Fashion: Shoppe Local
Shoppe Local
There's a new way to shop local -- the aptly named Shoppe Local. Patina's little-sister store carries products from Minnesota-based companies, from the well established (Minnetonka Moccasins and Russell+Hazel) to independent designers (Amanda Christine, Rectangle Designs, Natalie Lucas Jewelry and Ferociter), as well as art from the 35W Bridge Poster Project and music by Solid Gold and Tapes N' Tapes. It's also the latest shop to carry the ultra-feminine handbag collection by "Project Runway" designer Christopher Straub. (813 W. 50th St., Mpls. 612-827-3071.)
