Curated Vintage From The Heartland.
We rescue mid-century design, rare ephemera, sports cards, and studio gear from the middle of nowhere. It’s not hoarding if it’s curated.

Heartland Oddities & Resale

We rescue furniture and artifacts from people who think “grey” is a personality trait.
The Outpost
High Plains Hipster is based in Lincoln, Nebraska — a solitary outpost nearly 8 hours from the nearest Buc-ee’s. The rent is cheap and the basements are full of things that haven’t seen daylight since the Nixon administration.
The Hunt
We don’t do “shabby chic.” We don’t do “live, laugh, love.” We hunt for the specific, the well-designed, and the weird. We spend our weekends fighting over estate sale boxes while our phone chimes to the sweet sound of a pork butt coming to temp in the smoker back at home.
The Vibe & Work
We believe that good design didn’t die in 1999, but it definitely slept wrong. We handle the research, the testing, and the existential dread of leaving a good piece behind. You just get the good stuff.
