Meet the Vendors Behind The Red Apron in Liberty, MO

When you walk through the doors of The Red Apron, you are not just shopping a store. You are meeting the makers, collectors, and curators who bring it to life. Our antique vendor collective is made up of 20 talented sellers, each with their own eye for the eclectic and the one-of-a-kind. Getting to know the vintage sellers behind the finds is part of what makes every third Friday and Saturday feel less like a shopping trip and more like a gathering. Come meet the vendors at The Red Apron and see why this curated monthly market has been a Northland favorite for over 14 years.

-OUR CURATORS-

20 Vendors, One Cohesive Experience

What sets The Red Apron apart from a standard antique mall is the people behind the inventory. Our vendor profiles span a wide range of specialties, from painted and refinished furniture to vintage brass, Pyrex, artwork, handmade goods, jewelry, and more. Every one of our 20 sellers personally curates, resets, and works the sale floor each month, which means when you have a question about a piece, the person who found it or made it is right there to tell you its story. That direct connection between maker and buyer is something you will not find at a big-box retailer or a standard booth-rental mall. About 75% of the store resets every 30 days, so the mix of vintage sellers and their finds is always fresh. Whether you are hunting for a statement furniture piece or a $15 treasure for your mantel, the people in this warehouse are passionate about what they bring and genuinely love helping you find something special.

Kirsten Sundell

Kirsten is the founder of The Red Apron and the creative force behind its cohesive, curated feel. With a family background in art and a lifelong love of junking, estate sales, and flea markets, she built this monthly vintage market from the ground up in December 2011. Her vision of a "collected, not staged" shopping experience shapes everything from the warehouse layout to the vendors she welcomes into the collective.

Several of our curators focus on vintage home decor, bringing in everything from antique brass and Pyrex to nostalgic home accents, vintage artwork, and antique toys. These vintage sellers have a sharp eye for pieces that add warmth and personality to any room, and they are always on the floor during the sale to share the story behind each find.
