About Us

In the fashion forward

Uptown district of Minneapolis!

Who knew that a tiny boutique tucked out and away from the urban setting in downtown Excelsior could create such a buzz. On March 1st, 2011 we opened a second location in the stylish and funky Uptown disctrict of Minneapolis. After 10 years of great memories in the beautiful town of Excelsior, we closed our doors. January 4th, 2012 was our last day in our Excelsior location. While we will miss all our incredible customers, and we hope that you will come visit us in Uptown! Stay tuned for our new sales website, launching in late February - Shop at Cynthia Rae from anywhere in the world!

Our talented and fashion focused staff cannot be beat! You will be given the service you need, the support you may want, in pulling together a look that is perfect for everyday-be it work or play!
And you'll have $ left over!

We hear women report when they wear an outfit from Cynthia Rae they are stopped and asked "Where did you get that darling outfit?!"

With a constantly changing inventory of highly affordable dresses, tunics, blazers, tee tops, jeans, handbags, scarves, cowgirl boots and jewels galore,
Cynthia Rae Boutique can't be beat!
"Where do you get this stuff ?"
is often heard...

A lady never gives away
her secrets!!!
