Nicole and her staff do an incredible job! Very helpful in answering questions and offering an exceptionally high quality experience. Also, they offer an impressive collection of modern (new) and vintage pieces. All of the items I’ve purchased are my closet favorites, and many are from brands I hadn’t heard of previously. (Thank you for educating me!) Preservation is an absolute gem (and can ship out of state—very convenient!) Go immediately. And follow them—they have a strong social game.

I had the pleasure of corresponding with the lovely humans behind Preservation via email when there was an issue with an order I placed online. I was treated with such kindness, and the team was really on top of everything! I hope to get to visit the store in person soon, too :-) Thank you for the great virtual shopping experience!

Walking into Preservation just feels GOOD. The space is so gorgeous, smells divine and is so well curated. You can tell the owner is passionate about sustainable fashion. TBH I hate shopping for clothes but each time Ive gone to Preservation, the staff has been SO helpful in helping me pick out clothing that fits and feels good on me.

LOVE Preservation! This is one of the most unique shops you’ll find in Des Moines! You won’t ever walk in and leave with nothing, the selection is always wonderful and Nicole is so sweet! You have to check this place out if you’re in Des Moines!!

Ordered a beautiful vintage dress online and it was shipped quickly and arrived to me and was just a lovely as it was in the photos. Wish I lived closer to this shop and am so happy ordering online is such a breeze. Thank you!

Something youd find in NYC- such an awesome store! I love popping in here.

It is easy to get to. Located on the south corner on Walnut. If you find an item you like....get it.....it might not be available the next time you visit. Great place....

Love this store, employees/ Owner can make vintage look modern & sheik..(carries new & old pieces ) but whether your style is fresh,sexy, casual, or relaxed or into jewelry, candles, accessories etc... then this is a must visit when in East village .

Damn fine
