Prototype Vintage, also found off South Congress Avenue, will soon be offering vintage clothing and accessories in Austin’s North Loop neighborhood.
Staying local
The upcoming opening of the shop’s second location also marks 20 years for the business, co-owned by local best friends Audrie San Miguel and Emily Larson.
“I feel so fortunate to have been able to parlay my love of vintage into a career with my best friend for over 20 years now,” Larson said in a news release. “There isn’t a single day that I take it for granted.”
The new location is opening in what was Neu Appliances and will be alongside other local businesses offering vintage, including Blue Velvet and Room Service Vintage. San Miguel acquired Room Service in the summer, as previously reported by Community Impact.
“We’re so excited to branch out to the legendary North Loop strip,” San Miguel said in a news release. “We’re honored to be among other legacy Austin businesses and we will fight to keep the independent vibe of the neighborhood strong. There’s no other place we’d rather be, and we hold all our neighbors in high regard.”
The grand opening
Prototype will open Dec. 6 and celebrate with an opening party. Austinites can enjoy a DJ, drinks, treats, prizes and more the day the new store opens.
