It's unusually fitting that a coffee house named after a classic fabric pattern would mix coffee sipping with vintage shopping. With "Fancy Fridays" happening every Friday for the month of February, Houndstooth Coffee welcomes you to put on your "fancy" frills, enjoy some hand brewed coffee, and maybe walk out with a special vintage find. But don't let the word "fancy" turn your t-shirt wearing self away. The people behind Fancy Fridays say "fancy" is subjective and open to interpretation. Good thing, because this is Austin after all and the phrase "casual Fridays" is much more likely to get participators. However, I did really appreciate the well dressed baristas and customers that I saw on Friday, so I encourage everyone to embrace it if you're feeling fancy.
Last Friday was not only the first Fancy Friday for Houndstooth Coffee, but was also the first pop up shop ever for Hold Vintage owner Stephanie Press. While the selection was seemingly small occupying just a tiny corner of the coffeehouse, there were surprisingly many great appropriately priced pieces. Stephanie is pretty new to the vintage game, having been curating vintage for only about a year now. However, Stephanie already has a great collection of not only vintage clothing and accessories, but housewares and decor as well. Stephanie showed what she called her "Urban Pioneer" collection with Southwestern printed bags, gingham dresses, plaid button downs, and bolo ties to name a few. Stephanie plans on having the pop up shop themed differently every Friday.
