✨UPDATE ALERT!
We had the absolute privilege of touring the brand new Kress Mercantile, and let us just say — Anniston has NEVER seen anything like this. It’s an elevated, enchanting destination where timeless design meets modern-day magic, and we are beyond honored to be a part of it. 💫
The Velvet Rattle is thrilled to be nestled inside this stunning space, bringing our collection of expertly curated heirloom baby gifts — thoughtfully chosen, beautifully crafted, and offered at incredibly comfortable prices. 🧸👒
We’ve heard whispers—and they’re true. The other vendors setting up are absolutely incredible. The craftsmanship, creativity, and design are simply unmatched.
Every detail of Kress Mercantile has been designed to delight, from the architecture to the artisans.
And let’s talk about the perks: 🥪 A charming lunch counter serving up delicious lunches, 🍨 signature Kress ice cream flavors that are as nostalgic as they are dreamy, and 🧁 fresh, handmade cupcakes daily — yes, please!
The brand new Kress Mercantile is more than a store — it’s an experience. A gathering place. A beautiful new chapter for downtown Anniston, and they can’t wait to welcome you in. 💗
Thank you to the kind souls opening this one of a kind establishment. Anniston needed you!
You do not want to miss the grand opening on July 11th. It will be one for the books. Come experience the magic with us. ✨
