My husband and I stopped on a recommendation and it was definitely worth it...very unique, hand-crafted items. The items are priced relatively high, but given that they are hand-made it is worth it. The owner took time to provide background and was very pleasant.

We discovered this place which sells tapestries and other artistic cloth from artisans from 22 different countries. Deal in fair trade with their suppliers - women in Third-World contexts. A must stop place to see the variety of artistic cloth as well as to hear Culture Cloth's story.

Actually the store is called Cultural Cloth, which is close. Located right on highway 35 along the Lake Pepin part of the Mississippi, it's an easy one hour drive from Saint Paul MN. They carry beautiful products made by artisans around the world, mostly women, who use the profits to improve their lives. Owners Mary Anne Wise and Jody Slocum began the shop to support their efforts. They sell jewelry, accessories, and a variety of home decor, especially rugs. I'm a collector of and author about Moroccan rugs, and they have a beautiful, unique collection. The other home decor is mostly textiles, including Indian quilted [some antique] and African indigo bed covers. Stop in soon - it's like visiting a museum.

Very nice selection of women's crafts from around the world. They support many women in small villages with bringing their items for sale. Many interesting rugs, bags, scarfs. A must stop when we n Maiden Rock!

There is something for everyone in this unique gift shop. Reasonably priced, unique handmade items. Every item has a story.
