Some folks like to keep it classic when shopping for souvenirs to celebrate a trip to Austin. But if you’re looking for something that uniquely declares “Austin” with as much quirky flair as the city itself, look no further than Parts & Labour on South Congress.
This shop prides itself on being Austin-centric and Texas-forward by offering hundreds of brands in-store created by Texas makers, designers, creatives, and artists. Everything from jewelry, clothes (including up-cycled vintage and silk screen shirts), handmade bath and body products, candles, and home-goods (There’s a taco themed tea towel I can’t wait to add to my kitchen!).
Parts & Labour even has original art and prints from Texas artists that can be framed in store while you shop for everything else on your “Austin Souvenirs” list!
Stop by while you’re cruising around the South Congress shops and discover the bespoke offerings at Parts & Labour.
