Prima Dora: The Purveyor Of All Things Cool

If ever you want to experience the eclectic essence of Austin, Texas as well as all of the creativity that the local community has to offer, Prima Dora is the store for you. With two locations (one in downtown ATX, and one in Georgetown), Prima Dora provides their visitors with more than just a run-of-the-mill shopping experience. With their unique product selection and their collections of art from local artists, Prima Dora is indeed the “Purveyor of Cool Culture”.

Co-owned by the beautiful Melody English, the store carries everything from tie-dyed “Keep Austin Weird” slogan tees (among many other amazing graphic design tees), to art supplies and body care items. It is impossible to deny the vibe, energy, and somewhat bohemian atmosphere that imprints itself on Prima Dora’s guests. Simply put, this is a store that you won’t soon forget, and all it takes is just one visit. When you shop at Prima Dora, you’ll find a selection of gifts and accessories as unique as Austin, itself with items to outfit all ages and interests. Prima Dora makes it easy to browse and shop on their website, which also includes a blog that highlights local Austin talent, and current events happening in and around the city. As the cherry on top, Prima Dora DTATX offers free delivery to customers living in Austin.

If you want to know more about what creates and fosters this all-inclusive and chill vibe, just bear witness to the following testimonials:

Laurie H, –
“I always come away with something unique and uniquely Austin, with many of the items made by local artists. I find it impossible to leave empty-handed and this is no ordinary souvenir shop. This little gem is the definition of “happy shopping!”’

Barista L. –
“My go-to for every gift-giving occasion.
They have the most creative, fun jewelry that I’ve seen, my favorites include Fat Cat and Gem Junkie. Truly supporting the Old Austin tradition, supporting over 50 local vendors. Recently, I noticed things have really changed. The store is more organized. They have CHOCOLATE! They have TERRARIUMS! They have SOCK PETS! They also have a continuous 50% off Section for your aunt you can’t think of what to get…and don’t want to spend a lot”.

Shannon G. –
“Super cute store. They have a lot to look at. Mostly souvenirs, and Texas related items. Art work like jewelry by local artists. If you’re looking for something unique to take home with you, or something for a gift. I recommend this store”

Melody English is the owner of the Georgetown location and is a patron of Austin artists in a very real way. She has gone to great lengths to showcase local talent and make their work available at a price point that is fair to everyone; the shopper and the artists alike. She also curates some of the products at the retail shop located in the Oasis on Lake Travis’ restaurant. If you’re ever looking for a gift that is practical, humorous, fun, and “unordinary”, or accessories, clothing, and trinkets that are unapologetically Austin, Prima Dora is the place to shop.
