We’re Turning 3—And We’ve Got BIG News! 🎉
Three years ago (somehow it feels like both yesterday and 100 years ago), we opened the doors at The Mustache Cat - a little shop (and dream) filled with vintage treasures, quirky finds, and modern products from amazing women makers. Though this may sound a bit cheesy, this space has become so much more than a shop. It’s been a place to connect, dream, create, and to celebrate the stories behind the pieces we curate.

From Dreams to Grand Old Days: My Journey to Small Business in Saint Paul
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a business owner. From the East Coast to Minnesota, I fell in love with Grand Avenue's charm in Saint Paul. Our first house, bought just before Grand Old Day, solidified my passion for this community. This year, we're making it official by joining the parade with a funky float and wearable mustache throws. Join us in celebrating community and small business dreams!
