Clothing Stores in Karnes City, TX

“Gypsy Lou’s, the epitome of, Emporium- is a retail fusion of hometown pride and worldly humility; a trove of finery, confections, of all things self-care and indulgent.Crystal greeted me on the floor with grace and hospitality, she offered hot cocoa, coffee and genuine customer service before the nomadic itinerant herself- Laurie Jauer Carrothers aka Gypsy Lou- charmed me to explore her vision beyond boutique and gifts.Gypsy Lou’s Emporium has ‘something for everyone’ and Laurie is the exemplar, because engagement and sincerity came at no cost. There was no pressure to purchase, rather the encouragement, or the invitation to experience what is vital to being human: connection. Together we searched the store, shared stories, and naturally we fell upon the gift that called me in.What I spent monetarily, I gained incomparably in inspiration. I left with an exceptional kimono- an innovative piece, handcrafted in partnership with a women’s cooperative. I left with insight. I left with kinship. And I certainly left with the confidence in my return.”

“I'm not a boutique kind of woman. I don't dress gaudy and I'm usually a t-shirt, sweats, or shorts kinda person. My daughters talked me into going here (we were visiting because my husband is working here from out of town). The moment I walked in, I felt so uncomfortable and out of place. It didn't take long for me to feel much better because the ladies were extremely welcoming and very sweet! They were helpful in telling me about their sales and had my daughter sit in a cute little nook to try some shoes on. I will definitely be a return buyer, probably online since I live several hours away, but these kind of people are the ones that deserve more business! Thank you so much for being so kind. It's honestly what can make or break a business, and you ladies are doing an awesome job!”
