About Us

Welcome to Key North Boutique!

A specialty shop for discriminating women, Key North Boutique opened its doors in July, 2006 in Northeast Minneapolis. This unique shop features exclusive collections from around the world - clothing, jewerly, and accessories. The art gallery is curated by Private Art. The skin care products hail from Key West Aloe. All, in a beautiful and relaxed setting with a tropical flavor. Most importantly, all of their products are sustainable and promote fair trade - from organic fibers to recycled materials - and responsible manufacturing - meaning everyone working for their suppliers and manufacturers makes a living wage. All of this and the ability to remain committed to their values while stressing high fashion and design.

Key North is the exclusive carrier in Minnesota of "Key West Aloe" skin care and bath products for men and women. These products are loaded with aloe and made by some of the top chemists in the world. None of their products are tested on animals, nor have they ever been. Key West Aloe products have been acclaimed to be among the best in the world. And their fragrances are exquisite!

Fine art with a tropical theme will also be found at Key North, utilizing artists who work in the tropics, as well as local artists. Many of these artist's paintings can be found in some quite renowned collections.

They have also chosen to do business with local and independent vendors. Their employee wages and benefits are among the highest in the industry. The mission is to provide quality products and service to women who value the integrity of their skin, their bodies, and the earth, in a setting that is pleasing to all the senses.
