Introducing… The Stashery!

We’re excited to announce that we’re transforming one of our classrooms at Textile Center into a year-round secondhand textile supplies store!

The Stashery will provide accessible materials for artists — especially at a time when reducing waste and caring for our environment is top of mind.

Think of this space like a mini Textile Garage Sale, with a quieter shopping experience due to its smaller scale (but don’t worry — our twice-yearly, building-wide Garage Sales aren’t going anywhere!).

Mark your calendar:

  • Our first Donation Day is Thursday, May 22, from 10 am – 7 pm (see below for more info)
  • The Stashery Grand Opening is Friday, May 30, at 10 am

Where is The Stashery?

  • Inside Textile Center! You’ll enter The Stashery through our Textile Center Shop, just right of the Shop Desk. Look for the neon sign! Follow the path to our Room 5 / The Stashery room.
  • To check out, bring your items to the Shop Desk.

Do I need to bring my own bags?

  • In the spirit of reducing waste, we welcome you to bring your own reusable bags! We will also have some leftover bags and boxes from our Donation Days (see below) to put your purchases in.

When can I donate?

  • Stop by Textile Center on one of our Donation Days! We accept donations on a bi-weekly basis during our open hours. This will typically be the first and third Thursday of each month — unless noted elsewhere (We recommend checking this page, or our The Stashery Instagram page before you head over!). 
  • Our first Donation Day is Thursday, May 22, from 10 am – 7 pm.
  • Next donation day is June 5, from 10 am – 7 pm.

Where do I drop off my donation?

  • Drop off your donation at Textile Center, located at 3000 University Ave SE Minneapolis, MN 55414.
  • Pull up temporarily along the west side of our building on Arthur Ave and an employee will assist you with the unloading of your vehicle.

Is there a limit to how much I can donate?

  • Due to limitation of our space, your donation on a Donation Day must not exceed the equivalent of 2 Ikea shopping bags.
  • If you have more to donate than the equivalent of 2 Ikea shopping bags, please visit us on another Donation Day! There is no limit to how many times you can donate.
  • If you have questions, please call our shop at 612-436-0464.

What should I bring my items in?

  • Items should be contained in a non-returnable box, bin, or bag. Please do not bring loose items.

Do you offer donations receipts?

  • Yes, we will provide a copy of your donation receipt for your records. All donations are tax-deductible.
