Shop Talk: Q Boutique's New Home

Abby Van Ness
IMG_2295.JPGFormerly located at Excelsior & Grand, Q Boutique recently moved to a prime spot in Uptown (next to Stella's). General merchandise manager Lisa Nagel brought in fresh, up-and-coming lines for men and women—most of which are unique to the Cities. Find clothing by Claude Brown, Twig, Eden, and Report, premium denim by Sheiki, Karmel & Alden, and Pratt's, and handbags by Hype and Linea Pelle.

Whether you're searching for a rocker-chic look or classic downtown style, the new shop is worth a visit next time you're in the neighborhood. Be prepared to see price tags that are slightly higher than most other Uptown boutiques. But with Q's regular sales and promotions, it's usually feasible to pick up an item or two. Plus, more new lines will debut for spring, including Vivienne Westwood, American Vintage, and Vena Cava.

Read on to see snap shots of the new store.

This funky black and white coat by Claude Brown can be worn as a dress or light jacket ($652).

I just loved this ruffled sweater dress by Twig ($326). From the front, it appears as a simple sleeveless dress, but the bow and ruffles in back add a nice surprise.

Handbags by Hype. Q only orders one of each style.

The new denim lines for women—everything from skinny jeans to straight-leg to high-waisted styles.

Men's denim offerings include styles by Hudson, People's Liberation, and William Rast. Be sure to check out the Owen Case line of T-shirts for men, made by local designer Brad Casemore—only available at Q.

Q Boutique, 1404 W. Lake St., Mpls., 612-821-0000
