TULA'S SHOP SMALL - SHOP LOCAL LIST

The season of giving is upon us, and as a small (growing) company, we know how much the support of your community means. We love nothing more than shining a light on other small businesses that we personally frequent, shop at, work with, serve, and love. This holiday season (and beyond), we encourage you to consider doing the same- shop in your own community and support small businesses!

There are SO many reasons to shop local. We love this list of reasons (and infographics) put together by Sustainable Connections.

There are SO many incredible businesses in all of our markets and the businesses our amazing clients’ businesses have created or are a part of are certainly among them! The below list are just a few of our communities' very favorites in each market!

‍ASPEN

Pitkin County Dry Goods - As a 50 year locally owned business, Pitkin County Dry Goods prides itself on its curated collection of Men's & Women's fashion. PCDG is now Aspen's second oldest retail store under continuous family ownership.

Meat and Cheese Aspen - Delicious farm to table restaurant but also the best place to pick up the fixings for the perfect board or picnic.

Jus Cafe - with locations in Aspen and Snowmass this is our team's favorite place to refuel with fresh juice and smoothies - try the Dragon smoothie!

AUSTIN

Paper + Craft Pantry - Locally-owned stationery shop and workshop studio features independent paper designers, makers and small businesses.

Adelante Boutique - Mother and daughter owned boutique sells chic women's apparel and accessories.

‍Blow Candle Co. - As if being a TULA partner wasn't reason enough for Blow Candle Co. to be on the list, we absolutely LOVE everything this company (and the inspiring woman behind it) is about. For every candle sold, Blow will donate a portion of the proceeds directly to a female owned/founded organization with a mission to support and empower other women. And we can’t get enough of her candles!‍
