Situated in Saint Paul, Minnesota and spanning two floors of gorgeousness, IDUN (pronounced Eden and named after the Norse goddess of youth) was opened in 2014 by Dahlia Brue. With the desire to introduce the public to emerging labels, she carefully selects under-the-radar designers with a timeless appeal and unique POV. Her intention is straightforward: to build a community of women while helping them define their own sense of style through discovery and reinvention. In the short time since its launch, this boutique has become a go-to destination for luxurious pieces and unusual wares from new and established designers.

Hope launched in 2001 when designers Ann Ringstrand and Stefan Söderberg showed their first women’s wear collection at the Björkholmen Gallery. Raw, relaxed and authentic are just a few words that could be used to describe this Swedish brand’s collection of clothing, shoes and accessories. Free of embellishment and unnecessary adornments, Hope is known for designs that are sleek and consistently stylish. Inspired by traditional men’s workwear and uniforms, subtle utilitarian details enhance the crisp shapes and quality fabrics. We’re obsessed.
