Stop by & say hi 💞♻️

We offer custom clothes & ready made options! But what does that actually mean ⁉️⁉️

🪡 Custom clothes are hand-made to order!

🪡You pick the material & choose a style and we will make the jacket, dress, or pants to your measurements 🫶 (this is our favorite!!)

👚readymade means the item is already made. You can walk right into the store and pull it off the hanger!

👚Readymades sell very fast & we may not have something you like in stock. We can’t guarantee it will fit as well as a custom piece because readymade clothes are not made to your unique measurements!

🫶💞🌟 I hope this all makes sense! It’s a lot to digest but, I promise you, custom clothes are the only way to go!!

Come see us!!

💧Do not miss Slow Fashion Festival on April 26th!! Tickets are on sale March 26th at 8am :) Sign up to get alerts when tickets launch - link in theslowfashionfestival bio!

This community is vibrant and resilient and always seeking new ways to innovate and push the boundaries of what fashion can be! Congrats to @shopharpersage on their opening 🫶 Proud to share this space with y’all!

Thank you @aristocraft for highlighting us & our community!! Beautifully written article 🫶✨

🩵 A few blurbs from our interviews:

“It’s less about the clothes and more about the people in [slow fashion],” - Mikaela @mklfried

“Just as with sustainability efforts at large, I want people to understand that they don’t need to be scared away at the thought of ‘doing it wrong’ or not doing it well enough,” says Bury. “Slow fashion is truly a way of thinking and living. I want people of all entry points and backgrounds to know that even small steps are really valuable.” - Leah @leah.creative

“The biggest challenge is knowing that sometimes creating change isn’t just about individual actions, but also on a higher scale change in regulations and policies,” says Cristián. - Reza @rezacristian taken in Austin, Texas by @_shop_slow

Closing party on film 💕

Thank you to everyone who came out and partied with us one last time! We are so happy to have had this time in this space & make sooo many memories with y’all 💝

💸🌎 When we buy from small businesses and sustainable designers, we’re not just purchasing products we’re making a statement. We’re choosing to support people who pour their hearts into creating with intention, people who care about quality over quantity, and people who are challenging the status quo of fast fashion. 💡🌿

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and by supporting them, we’re creating a ripple effect that impacts our communities in meaningful ways. Every purchase from a local designer means a fair wage, ethical production, and a commitment to reducing waste. ♻️👗 The fashion industry doesn’t need more mass-produced garbage, it needs more creativity, more care, and more thoughtfulness. ✂️✨

So when you invest in sustainable designers, you’re choosing to invest in the planet 🌍, in human rights ✊, and in real, lasting change. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Each conscious decision you make is one step closer to the future we deserve. 🔥

Let’s keep supporting small businesses, designers who care, and movements that matter. The impact is real, and together, we’re making a difference. 💪💖

Here are the only photos I have from our closing party because I was too busy talking to y’all!! 🗣️💕

WOW. This party was everything. 🎉✨ We are beyond grateful to everyone who showed up to celebrate Shop Slow and the incredible community we’ve built together. Your support means the world to us, and it’s been so inspiring to see so many of you come out and be a part of this journey. 💖

Keep shopping small, keep supporting makers, and let’s continue this movement. We’re just getting started. 💪❤️ taken in Austin, Texas by @_shop_slow

Part 2!💕

I’ll keep going because y’all deserve to know how we feel 🫶

This has been so helpful for me to share these thoughts with y’all! So many other small businesses also feel this way and if that’s you, you’re not alone.

I spoke to some customers today and they reminded me that “we are all we got“ ✨ I’m happy we got y’all! taken in Shop Slow by @_shop_slow
