10 Best Dallas-based Etsy Shops
Current Classic |
Upcycling is one of those buzzwords that just won't go away, but some shops manage to give it actual meaning. Etsy shop Current Classic turns the random old knick-knacks and bric-a-brac from the past into interesting pieces for homes with any decor. Imagine if all the weird stuff from your grandma's house could actually somehow be made cool and interesting - that's Current Classic. There's also plenty of vintage decor and other ephemera that you will absolutely not be able to resist, even if your shelf space is pretty minimal.
Tess & Ivy Vintage
Thanks to Don Draper and ad buddies, mid-century decor is probably more popular now than it was back then, especially since hipsters now have plenty of cash to waste on old furniture. Tess & Ivy Vintage is the place to do that. This shop is relatively small but well-curated, and has all of the finishing touches to make your place look like a lower-budget version of the Mad Men set, if you're into that sort of thing.
The Pig & The Peacock Pig & the Peacock
It's weird to think of taking art into the shower with you, but that's exactly what The Pig & The Peacock is creating. Each of their handmade soaps look like little pieces of art for your soap dish, and they're full of herbs and plant butters and other hippie stuff that will make your skin look awesome. The Pig & The Peacock also makes lotion bars, pure soy candles, and lip balms. Also, because this is Texas, they have soaps in the shape of a gun.
P.S. Artisan Jewelry
A piece created by local artist Polly Simon is as much wearable art as it is jewelry. Using reclaimed and sustainable metals, Simon hand crafts one-of-a-kind designs that range from hipster twee to bohemian chic. If you can somehow resist buying the entire shop for yourself, bookmark P.S. Artisan Jewelry the next time you need a gift for that stylish friend that is impossible to buy for.
