Indie Genius

Introduced to IndieGenuis today. WOW! Great finds at reasonable prices — from soaps to furniture, they have an amazing selection of handmade goods and vintage items. Put this on your MUST GO TO list… you won’t be disappointed.

From a vendor perspective this place is a joke. Payments are never made to vendors on time, and some of us never got payments without hassling Julie.
If you aren’t willing to hassle Julie you’ll probably never get paid. She doesn’t reply to emails and it takes 3 – 4 times trying to contact her through phone/​text to get a response.
If you plan to be a vendor DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

Treasure Hunting at its best! Indie Genius hold within its walls amazing finds! Many Local Creatives have come together to create a great shopping experience.
Picture treasures that could be found in the best markets/​bazaars in the US, if you had time to travel to explore, the outdoor elements were controllable, and you could go any time — not just Saturdays. This Micro-​Boutiquery offers everything you ‘d want — shopping during the week and weekend, controllable elements — heating and a/​c, and all under one roof. In the Bishop Arts area just off 7^th and at Zang. Stop by Bee (Best Enchilada Ever) for lunch. Treasures include: jewelry, custom purses, vintage clothing, plants in recycled containers, etc.

Indie Genius has the perfect one-​of-​a-​kind gift for any occasion. Art, jewelry, handbags, wallets, soaps… you could literally spend hours in here looking at everything. And it’s right in the heart of my neighborhood. LOVE!

If you like buying things from Etsy, supporting independent designers, local /​vintage /​handmade accessories, jewelry, and supplies, then IndieGenius is for you. The store combines the bazaar/​market concept of multiple designers selling their goods (similar to SoCo in Austin)…but all in an air-​conditioned environment. Which is awesome when June/​July comes in Texas.
My friends and I stumbled upon this place when we were lost trying to find the Bishop Arts Saturday Market — which disappointingly, had only 6 vendors. IndieGenius alone had over 20+ vendor booths. Now, the designers themselves actually don’t man any booths, but rather they rent out boutique space, ranging from 4×4 to 10×10 spaces. If you’re lucky, you can catch a few of the designers adding new product or rearranging their space.
Necklaces, earrings, purses, belt buckles, hats, headbands, vintage clothing, furniture, paintings, prints, candles, books, you name it… it’s probably here at IndieGenius. All the stuff here is so unique, much of it handmade… i don’t know how many times i must have said «this is so cute!»
Prices vary depending on vendor. I was able to snag a cool necklace pendant for $ 12 and saw a couple other ones for $ 8 – 15. There were some handmade clutches for ~$ 30 – 40, but at the same time, I also saw necklaces for $ 80+.
The owners here are super friendly and very passionate about their business. :)
