12 Best Places for Shopping in Austin
"In late 2018, Kendra Scott, a billion-dollar jewelry brand that got its start in Austin, opened this beautiful new flagship on South Congress Avenue. The building dates back to the 1800s, and although it was completely overhauled, elements like the original beams were painstakingly preserved. Scott worked with the design firm Sixthriver to great airy, open, glamorous interiors, which also include works by her favorite female artists, a table that was a part of her original design studio, and wallpaper that incorporates original sketches. Unlike many stern jewelry stores—all silence and glass cases—the experience here is cheerful and interactive; you’re encouraged to touch, feel, coordinate, and get involved in the design process. We love Sips & Sweets Café, stocked with local pastries and tea." - Stirling Kelso
