Rebecca Sansone

Rebecca (she/her) is the owner of The Mustache Cat, a vintage + modern home goods shop located in Saint Paul. With a passion for home decor and supporting women-owned businesses, Rebecca curates an ever-changing selection of vintage treasures and modern finds from women makers, providing a unique + engaging shopping experience. She is passionate about empowering people with pieces to infuse their personality + interest into their space.

Before launching The Mustache Cat, Rebecca spent several years in the corporate world working in marketing, product management and sales - most recently for Wayfair. When she's not 'picking' items to add to her 100+ year home in Saint Paul or for shop inventory, she can be found hanging with THE Mustache Cat (Bernie), soaking up the sunshine hiking or paddle boarding (a favorite of her rescue lab, Duke), taking a Peloton ride or local yoga/dance class, reading mysteries, or binge watching one of her favorite shoes (recent favorites: Poker Face, Abbott Elementary, Not Dead Yet). @themustachecat.home
