SELECTION CRITERIA

At Minneapolis Vintage Market, we are seeking high quality, curated collections of clothing, home goods and more. Please note that Minneapolis Vintage Market only accepts applications from vendors selling genuine, premium vintage merchandise, and we do not accept applications from thrift re-sale or flea vendors. You must confirm within the application that at least 90% of your collection is dated pre-2000. Our shoppers are looking for one-of-a-kind pieces, quality brands, and a well-thought out shopping experience. As such, we carefully review all trader applications, and make our selections based on the following criteria:

Cohesive collections of high quality vintage clothing, memorabilia or home goods

Creativity and professionalism of branding, including social media channels and the presentation of images or collateral used for marketing.
Genuine untouched* vintage merchandise. All traders must affirm that 90% of their collection is dated pre-2000

*If you are an artist who uses vintage components to create your artwork, please apply to our sister market, Minneapolis Craft Market instead. Light repair or refinishing that does not significantly alter the original piece is considered OK for vintage merchandise.

Please visit our website FAQ page for more details about the types of vendors we are looking for and how our markets work.
