I have always loved this shop. Their style and prices are amazing and affordable. I visited recently and was blown away at the customer service I received from a nice worker named Philadelphia. She went above and beyond to make sure we not only got what we needed, but they also made sure that we got the information we were looking for shipping for some other breakable items weve been wanting to get but couldnt carry with us on our flight. This place and this human are absolute gems of Austin.

It was very strange to me how this store sells Hispanic art and things related to the culture, but every single person working there is white??? I mean it's expected in Austin, but this store seemed worse than others. Not only was the staff not welcoming whatsoever, but I also overheard a white manager FIRING the ONLY brown worker there because she apparently "wasn't a good fit" and this REEKED of colorism to me. The situation was handled VERY unprofessionally, as that conversation should have been held in private and not so loudly that all customers on the floor could hear how badly this store
