Crate Honors Anniversary With Exclusive FactoryPeople Jean - "The Thomas"

AUSTIN, Texas - To celebrate three years of styling Austin in ready-to-wear garments from around the fashion world, FactoryPeople has put together a one-of-a-kind designer birthday weekend to thank its customers and celebrate its success.

FactoryPeople, a 3,000 square foot lifestyle boutique located in the heart of Austin's South Congress strip, has been outfitting its customers in hard-to-find women's and men's cult designers, denim lines and trainers since owners Le and Thomas Popov first opened its doors on Oct. 17, 2003. The store, inspired by Andy Warhol's Factory, was built as a place to blend the worlds of art and commerce.

Since then, this landmark boutique has attracted national media attention from leading magazines Elle, Nylon and Jane, and has been honored as "one of the best five new stores" in America by Lucky Magazine. Celebrity shoppers, including Adam Horowitz a.k.a. Beastie Boys' Ad Rock, OC's Benjamin MacKenzie, Marley Shelton, Peaches, Elijah Wood and Karen O have been spotted browsing FactoryPeople designer selections and attending its killer parties.
"Our birthday weekend is really about thanking our amazing customers who have supported us from the beginning," said owners Le and Thomas Popov. "Entering our third year, FactoryPeople continues to be even more of a destination for Austinites and out-of-town visitors looking for the best new, cutting-edge designers around."

FactoryPeople - SOCO 1325 S Congress Ave. Austin, TX 78704 USA, 1-888-322-8002
