It's an excellent place to fix your clothing. I took my purse and down jacket (both had some zipper issues), and after that, another store wanted to overcharge me. The two young men working there were amiable, and they took a look at my down jacket and were able to fix the zipper in 5 minutes. As for my purse, I left it there for about a week, and they called me when it was ready to pick up. I was thrilled with the result, and the fees were very reasonable. I think it would be a good idea to repair the lair. Good job, and Thank you.Update as 03/2024:I used their service again recently. The rate has gone up, but it's understandable. I took a winter extra-long jacket to replace the zip. They were able to fix it in a few days. They have moved to a new location, but the service is still on the same stand. I recommend them.

This is a great place to go if you are looking for a new pack or clothes. It's a great way to recycle your gear or get it repaired.

They helped me out same day with a new zipper for my jacket, and I got a sweet deal on some hardly used hiking boots. What a perfect place for outdoor gear!

Simply the best. I've been grateful for Repair Lair since discovering it approximately 8 years ago. They have done countless repairs and modifications for me including zippers, straps, and patches on various items of mine. Nancy, the owner, is dedicated to keeping clothing and gear in circulation which is better for the planet and our budgets! They also sell a selection of used gear for all of your outdoor adventures. Check out their new location (2023) on Minnehaha Avenue and support a truly invaluable local business. Why replace when you can repair?

New location, same great service. I always take my packs here to get new patches put on. Same with jerseys, jackets, and bowling shirts. They're respectful, timely, and prices are fair. Definitely go here for your repair needs!

This place is great. I have had several Duluth packs repaired here. Yesterday, I brought in a pack that had some seams on the shoulder straps starting to pop. They fixed it while I waited and only charged me $25. Help is always friendly and the new location on Minnehaha Avenue is far easier to get to.

Quick, affordable, no appointment necessary.I stopped by the other day and they repaired the broken zipper on my well loved 6 person tent in about 10 minutes while I browsed the store.The store also offers a nice selection of high quality new and used camping items at a very very reasonable price.Also, I love the business philosophy and mission of this local business: loving and repairing what we have and using what's here instead of always just throwing away and buying new.

A must know about in Minneapolis!! This store is full of second hand camping gear at great prices - excellent backpack selection. I stopped in to the lake street location for help fixing a tear on a Patagonia nylon jacket. They were able to patch it up immediately, teach me about the product they use and send me on my way.Thank you repair lair, I’ll be back to prepare for my boundary waters trip this summer!

These folks are simply "The Very Best" ! Cannot say enough good things about the alterations that the Repair Lair did for me. I needed a couple of small changes to my pack that required professional sewing. From the first call to customer service to the prompt order dispatch notice , these folks get it done on time at a fair price and exceptional workmanship !
