Sleepy Poet Antique Mall

10 Best Places for Shopping in Charlotte

"Sleepy Poet Antique Mall is a sprawling 60,000-square-foot space packed with treasures waiting to be unearthed. You could spend an entire day wandering the aisles, daydreaming about how the pieces you see would fit perfectly in your (dream) home. You’ll find unique home decor, furniture, and the vintage toys you loved as a kid. The inventory includes everything from 19th-century photographs to Trolls dolls from the ‘80s, to medical books from the 1880s. If you’re in the market for original artwork, this is the place to go. There's also an upcycled bar made from the front end of an old truck—talk about a conversation piece next time you have friends over. The staggering variety and inventory of hard-to-find items make this a memorable stop." - Lauren Levine
