Minnesota Monthly: Visitors from around the world and those locals in the know will be able to step into the expanding world of Minnesota entrepreneur Larissa Loden at Mall of America opens. Located on the second floor (W292), the store will feature Loden’s jewelry meant to express “badness” and other cheeky sentiments. The new space will feature Loden’s signature designs, including semi-precious gemstones, brass, sterling silver, and gold-filled components made to last.

The busy entrepreneur with a flagship store at 2032 Marshall Ave. in St. Paul says she wanted to expand into the megamall “because I believe that bootstrapped, female-owned Midwest brands can be major players in the retail space. So, this is our first step in proving that to everyone. Also, I just personally think everyone should have a pair of f*ck studs (her signature jewelry).” For Loden, it is about “doing good through jewelry that is unapologetic.”

The St. Paul store will remain open and the new storefront will also be filled with a large gift selection curated by Loden herself that showcases other female-owned small businesses.
