so much more than a gift store.

“Patina” refers to something that creates delight and grows in meaning over time – and that’s where our story begins. Unique gifts, home decor, jewelry, apparel, and toys are what you’ll discover at our stores. What you’ll feel? Inspiration. Creativity. An escape from the everyday.

The first Patina opened in 1993 near Lake Harriet. Since then, we’ve grown to nine locations across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and neighboring suburbs. We even make products designed by us, offered exclusively through us.

Our merchandise is just the start. At the heart of Patina is our team. We put care into what we do because we genuinely believe in the magic of making the everyday a little more fun. There’s always something new to discover, something unexpected to love, and a little more fun to be had. Stop in and experience the magic for yourself.

We do not currently have an online store. If you see something you like, contact us at customerservice@patinastores.com or click below — we are usually able to ship items upon inquiry.
