I love an eclectic shopping experience. I also love when I «discover» a hidden gem — regardless of what kind of new nirvana it is. Both things will happen for you at The Modern Mercantile. Fashion-forward apparel(not just for Monroe, kids — I mean forward), jewelry, stationary and more; much of it produced by local artisans and crafters. My favorite thing about this shop is its cheeky collection of fun gifts. Not expensive — just SUPER fun. I mean, where else are you going to get a «Contraband Tin»? Mine sits proudly on my desk at work!
