Urban Mining Homewares is located on two full floors of the historic Meyer building in the heart of the Midtown District in Kansas City, Missouri.  We were the first business to pioneer the "First Friday Vintage Market" concept in the Kansas City Metro, and we have been at this location for over 8 years!  Our recent expansion to two full floors makes us among the largest vintage shopping venues in the metro area!  We emphasize quality and value in our inventory - making beautiful vintage treasures accessible to everyone!

Urban Mining Homewares is committed to being a GREEN business.  Our inventory is hand-created, repurposed, recycled and renewed by an amazing team of more than 37 creative entrepreneurs, and each event is brand new, with fresh inventory at every sale! Not only are we active in the local "green" community, supporting various green organizations throughout the metro, we operate as a green business, too!  From our concept of recycled and reclaimed inventory, to our underground lower level that maintains a constant temperature and requires low enegery usage, to our recycled merchandise packaging and post-consumer recycling activities, to our unique business model that allows for decreased energy consumption througout the month, to our active participation in local green initiatives, we strive for environmental stewardship in everything we do. 

We are open only one four-day weekend each month,  on the weekend with the first Friday of each month - see our "sale dates" section for details!
