Happy Pride Month, beautiful humans. 🌈✨🏳️🌈
Plot twist: the gay-owned antique shop loves Pride. Shocking, we know. 💅😌🪩
But in all seriousness… Pride has always been so much more than rainbows and glitter although let’s be honest… we fully support both.🌈✨
It’s history.
It’s courage.
It’s community. 🫶🏳️🌈
It’s honoring the brave LGBTQ+ voices before us who fought to be seen, heard, respected, and loved exactly as they are. It’s celebrating how far we’ve come, recognizing the work still ahead, and continuing to create spaces where people feel safe simply being themselves. 🤍🌈
As a gay-owned business, Mercantile 1028 has always been about more than old treasures and beautifully chaotic displays. ✨
It’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome.
The collectors.
The creatives.
The old souls.
The beautifully weird humans.
All of you. 🫶🌈
Whether you’re loud and proud, still finding your voice, figuring things out, an ally, or just need a place where you can walk in and simply exist. Our doors are always open and there will always be a place for you here. 🏳️🌈🤍✨
After all… we built an entire business around loving things that are unique, different, imperfect, and full of stories.
Seems only right we do the same for people. 😉🌈
So keep being unapologetically you. Take up space. Shine bright. And never forget the things that make you different are the things that make you magical. ✨🪩🏳️🌈
Happy Pride, friends. 🌈✨
With love and probably way too many antiques… 🫣
