Dear Friend

Dear Friend is a clothing shop in East Austin that sells its own line of seasonless, layerable clothing alongside handmade goods from artisan partners. The label's hand knit sweaters are made entirely by hand on knitting needles, without machines, and the clothes are made from hand-spun and hand-loomed natural fibers. The collection includes tops, trousers, shorts, rompers, dresses, skirts, outerwear, loungewear, jewelry and bags.

The East Austin storefront is at 1630 East 6th St in the Sentral Building and shares its space with Small World Goods. The shop is open Thursday through Sunday, with later hours on Friday, and customers can pick up orders locally for free or shop the collection in person. Gift cards are available.
