Chamber Ambassadors were pleased to welcome Mercantile 1028 to Downtown Decorah! Owners Kaleb and Taylor shared about why they chose Decorah (vibrant downtown, tourism destination, collaborative group of retail businesses) and cut a red ribbon for their new space at 222 West Water Street. Kaleb & Taylor curate the best in antiques and vintage. Sourcing from estate sales and markets as far as 5+ hours away, they select and bring the best into their shop. Expect brass, vintage ironstone, silver serving dishes, oil paintings, unique furniture, and must-have finds for decoration that are quirky, collectible, rare, and beautiful. Kaleb has a passion for interior design and resets & restocks the shop so often that after only three months, he has an expansive and dedicated following.
At a time when interest in antiques is high but shopping locations seem few and far between, Mercantile 1028 has arrived on scene to show you just how inviting and memorable you can make a space if you give it the right elements of history and the charm of things unexpected.
