In the Spring of 2011, Saturday and Puppet (of ThunderPuppet) decided to open a new local business focusing on upcycled clothing, Green House Austin. Green House is a colorful and eclectic shop on the east end of the North Loop strip and one of the neighborhood’s newest additions. The “green” here is meant to accentuate the re-cycling, re-purposing, and re-use of clothing as well as Green House as an incubator for local talent. The business regularly hosts art-shows, local filmmaker screenings, craft fairs, and live music.
Since the business began, it has been awarded Best New Business of 2011 by the Austin Chronicle reader’s poll and one of Austin’s best places to shop by Slacker Magazine.
