MADE Art Boutique

So many little knick-​knacks, unique jewelry, t-​shirts and stationary! I loved browsing through the tiny store. Great for souvenirs to bring home! I bought a bunch of cards that are funny to me (and hopefully funny to the receivers)…

I love this store for funky, AZ themed items. Hubby and I bought a cool Phoenix collage poster for our wall there during a First Friday art walk a few months ago. I love the wooden AZ home signs so much and I tried to buy one for a family member for Christmas, but they were out. Bring more in from that artist! Their stuff is adorable!

MADE is a very cute store. The owner was very helpful and the variety of different products from local artists was great to see. Got my baby niece a new outfit. Everyone should check it out!

Made is amazing! We are visiting from out of town and we were so happy to find this super neat shop filled with amazing things. This is a must stop shop if you are in Phoenix!

I love this little store. I mostly buy postcards, note cards, clothing, jewelry, books, and the cute little spice bowls with images or inspirational words painted inside. Great reasonably priced and unique gifts.

This place is super, duper, über cute. They are only open at 12 every day as opposed to what it says on Unilocal at 11 am though.
This is a very cute boutique store with lots of Etsy items. They have shirts and jewelry and many things from local artists as well. This is a great place to buy pieces of small scale décor as well as medium to large sized posters.
Also a great place for books (random books) and postcards! I totally recommend this place for souvenir shopping or just picking up random cute things for yourself!

Cute, cute, cute. Seriously, did I mention cute? Great selection of quirky, locally made items and a friendly staff in this converted bungalow. Loved it. Will definitely be back

Very cute local art Boutique with tons of interesting artsy creations. I really enjoyed walking through the store and looking at everything. So many great ideas, and cool crafts to buy for decorating or gifting. I loved the vibe of the location, which is surrounded by small local stores in downtown Phoenix. Loved it and will definitely be back.

This place is packed full of great stuff from local artists. Paintings, prints, t-​shirts, buttons, magnets, dolls, salt n pepper shakers, and that’s just to name a few! Such a great place to get unique and completely rad gifts for your friends, family, or just yourself… and in such a clean, well lit, and welcoming cool spot! There’s already 20 things I want to buy from here, and my list keeps growing because there’s always new stuff arriving! Thanks Made!

This is such a fun place to come and find gifts that are not mass produced. I love how unique the items are.

Just stepping through these doors «made» my day — literally! Who would have thought that I drove past this little boutique on 5^th street time after time and all along I was missing out on some of the best local finds around!
I learned a little history about the house that Made calls home. Back in the day, it actually used to be home to a certain group that loves a narcotic that rhymes with whack, but that’s in the past and now it’s home to adorable décor and delightful finds. It even has a great art gallery in the back!
I visited Made during the Unilocal Shops Local Holiday Crawl and this time around, I did some serious window shopping. However, I plan on returning soon to purchase some finds. They have something for everyone at this little artsy boutique. They have baby clothes, grown-​up clothes, bath items, stationary, knick nacks, little goodies so adorable they were probably made by Santa’s elves, candles, locally made jewelery, unique cards, pet toys, handmade items like headbands and more. This is a store where you will most likely find something for anyone (even the most picky person) in your life. It’s pretty reasonable pricing-​wise and items range form a couple dollars to $ 50 and up. This is the perfect location to support local and find a unique gift for the hard-to-buy-for…and one that you most likely won’t find anywhere else!

Cute store with lots of unique gift ideas. Though the only thing that I ended up buying was some hand sewn felt cat toys laced with organic catnip. Is that weird?

Cool store! I liked the up-​and-​coming and eclectic feel of the place, and liked the sock puppets, jewelry, notecards, ceramics, and other cool stuff you don’t need but are happy to check out and maybe buy. A nice place to go for a small gift or something…

I work downtown and today was my first venture over to Roosevelt. I was looking for stationery and cards. I found some great locally made cards with cat designs. The have some unique recycled artwork and an array of jewelry, pottery and other accessories to fit most budgets.
I especially enjoy a magnet that I bought showing a guy pointing a gas pump receptical to his own head. It was timely seeing the price of gas.

Fanciful boutique, never bores the eye with good finds in every medium, across all ranges from Etsy artists to fine jewelry, zine collection.
A few faves:
delicate copper/​precious gemstone necklaces (Alex Ozers)
one-​of-​a-​kind, re-​worked vintage clutches (Madalyn Nault)
whimsical button jewelry (HeyCaryAnn)
local, organic peppermint rosemary cold-​press soap (Emelmahae)
likely one of the best finds in the valley!

Made just did some fancy remodeling, and I kinda love it.
I also recently bought one of the t-​shirts that are done by a local artist (he had some stuff at the 602 exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum last year) and it is comfortable, unique, and was super reasonably priced.
Also, the gals that work here are beyond delightful. Like, on a scale of one to magnificent, they are 10’s.

While in Phoenix for a long weekend I read here on Unilocal that I just couldn’t miss MADE. Well, I checked the website for store hours and planned accordingly. We were staying in Scottsdale so planned to hit up downtown Phoenix and the boutique on Monday before heading back to San Diego.
The website said it opened at noon on Mondays so we took our time getting breakfast and wandering about, which was neat since the neighborhood around the boutique is really interesting and has lots of great urban decay and murals and other funky little storefronts.
Well, noon rolls around and they haven’t opened yet. 12:15 rolls and no sign of life, so I call the number on the website. The recording says they open at 11 on Mondays, which made us wonder even more. So eventually we wander up to the door and see a tiny little note that says January hours: Wednesday-[whatever]. So needless to say, we were a bit irritated once we finally got on the road without having seen the inside of the place.
The website and phone message didn’t even match each other, but you’d think if you wanted customers to come to your store during business hours, you’d update at least one of them to let people know you weren’t open half of the week that particular month.
I give it 2 stars because what I could see through the window looked promising, but the lack of information dissemination was really disappointing.

I found some great t-​shirts for friends here, including one from a local PHX artist with a grinning skull.
If you’re a hipster or looking to buy gifts for one, then this is the place to go.
Plus, the clerk was using a Mac (not that I would expect anything different, but bonus verisimilitude points for fitting in with your surroundings Mr. Clerk).

Places like Made make me realize that there is hope for my life in Phoenix. It is a cute converted house shop that carries a wide array of stuff that you won’t find easily elsewhere.
There is lots of cute baby stuff that I would laugh at if I ever saw a baby wearing. The jewelry is unique and cool– it made me feel like I had Etsy right in front of me, live! They have some good books around and some key David and Goliath pieces.
I heart places like Made, so therefore I heart Made.

Many of the businesses in this area of the city are converted houses and Made is what started it all. It is my understanding that they got the idea of buying dilapidated houses, fixing them up real nice, and turning them into neat little shops, restaurants, and bars. Kudos indeed!
Made itself sells unique books, hand-​made and other cool cards, cool artist-​made jewelry, some artist-​made and small label clothing, and art from local artists. The people who work there also know the area really well, and are more than happy to suggest other businesses in the area.
