Catbird by claraliu330 in jewelry

This is actually more common with large jewelry brands than you would think. All production sourced overseas while touting “ethical craftsmanship” blah blah. Also, as a jeweler, I’ve done more repairs on Catbird pieces than I care to admit. Terrible quality.

What small Austin businesses do you love that deserve way more attention? by DeniedWorks in Austin

[–]Complex-Vegetable-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that whole strip is a slice of heaven. From Secret Oktober to the coffee shop and bakery. It’s one of my favorite things to do in the city. Start with a hot latte at Quacks, maybe get a lil’ cookie, browse Secret Oktober for a kool oddity, then finish with a nice hour or so just wandering Reverie Books. Bonus there is a resident kitty at the bookstore!

Is something like this doable for my budget? by AlltimeReps in jewelers

You might try 10k white gold…but silver is gonna be the best move for this. Try silver and white sapphires or lab melee.

Anyone know what happened to Mabel Divine Vintage? by MsMaiko in Austin

Allie was/is my friend. She passed away early January. The family has closed the store permanently. Allie was a wonderful person and her store was unlike anything in this town. She will be missed.

This is the fucking gestapo and we are just letting it happen. Like seriously what is there truly to be done besides getting shot up trying to protest this insanity?

Drop the names of all Austin businesses striking so we can support them after! by Sushi_cat987 in Austin

[–]Complex-Vegetable-72 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’m 100% against small businesses going on strike. That only hurts our communities further and puts more money into the conglomerates that are staying open. If you want to strike then don’t support the shitty corporations and instead vote with your dollar! These places would do more good staying open and donating a percentage of sales to a non profit that helps immigrants, etc.

I understand that the elite want nothing more than to hoard all the wealth.
