Top-notch kept secret of the South, UAL is a discount design shopping paradise think of Century 21 or your nearest high end outlet mall distilled into a manageably sized boutique.
The last time we visited, we snagged a majorly discounted Jonathan Simkhai metallic cocktail dress.
SoCo locale offers 70 to 90 percent off of retail rates on all the most ‘sought after’ designer labels, including Tom Ford, Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant, and Alexander Wang, like its four sister stores scattered throughout the region. Oftentimes this modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. That’s a modal window. Follow Archive on Instagram @archivevintage, Archive, 1708 Congress Ave.com. From the hipstercool South Congress strip to ny specialty shops on North Lamar forget your SXSW panels or waiting in line at Franklin BBQ, play hooky and hit these six stores. Furthermore for all the excellent shopping Austin has to offer, Austin is the place to be this week, not simply for all the tech y and entertainment culture you’ll soak up at SXSW. For example, while ranging from country legend Loretta Lynn to indie Brits Bloc Party to Japanese arena rockers, the interactive and film portions start on March 11 with a keynote by President Obama and the musical performances begins on March 15 with a diverse roster of artists.
Overly cut off denim cut offs, and white lace dresses at Coachella in April, South by Southwest kicks off the music filled extravaganza in Austin, Texas, before all the t girls rock their flower crowns.
Aw.
Not to worry, only after the awards frenzy culminates in the Oscars and Fashion Month comes to a close in Paris, the fun keeps right on going with festival season. Like Ace Jig, owner Laura Uhlir thoughtfully stocks her sunfilled shop with an edited mix of pieces from hip indie labels, Whit, Dusen, and In God We Trust. You’ll also find stacks of reworked vintage jeans from -based Denim Refinery and a tight mix of accessories, from ‘fringe y’ patchworkhued mules by Charlotte Stone to minimalist hair barrettes by Sylvain Le Hen.
Housed on a cute, quiet block in East Austin, that said, this adorable boutique feels a little like Brooklyn in Texas.
Considering Archive also happened to carry the exact circa ’92 Versace leopard print jacket that Cookie wore for an eventful day at the Lyon Dynasty offices on Empire, you actually never know what treasures you’ll find on the racks.
Kind of like that speakeasy that’s hidden below a hipster coffee shop or a permanent popup, Archive offers immaculate designer vintage pieces in the back of the contemporary Co Star boutique in SoCo. Owner, Kerry Bonnell, specializes in pieces from the ’60s to ’90s from bragworthy labels, including Chanel, Dior, Thierry Mugler, Yves Saint Laurent, and Azzedine Alaa. Generally, owner Wendi Koletar has an eye for spotting and bringing up and coming lines to the Austin fashion connaisseurs and keeping their closets stocked with Lemaire. Have you heard about something like that before? Like Acne, fashion nerds all head to this ’12 year old’ downtown boutique that stocks edgily minimalist and more experimental international brands, Won Hundred, Samuji, and Creatures of Comfort.
Yes, overused, it’s just accurate to describe the vintage stock at this SoCo boutique, while the word curated is.
We’re also seriously obsessed with the shop’s Instagram, that basically offers up daily temptations of pristine throwback finds, flawlessly styled into an outfit that we need to buy in its entirety.
While everything in the store is just so, from the perfect highwaisted denim ‘cutoffs’ that were impossible to find before your visit to ’70s peasant ps that are veryrightnow to studded leather hot pants that you have to wear to Coachella. Even better. I’m sure you heard about this. So a look at the price tags won’t give you sticker shock. Feathers also offers original ‘reworked’ vintage just to mix it up a bit.
