About this experience partner:

"Coffee by day, wine by eve, and a thoughtfully curated selection of shoes all under one roof, Blue Suede Austin is the true illustration of retail meets therapy. Co-founders, Jennifer Parkman and Cynthia McMillian maintain that there is no woman in the world who doesn’t want to browse beautiful shoes, jewelry, and handbags while in the company of good friends and a glass of wine. The pair even joke that Blue Suede was created to give them a place to have fun and relax while calling it 'work.' All jokes aside, they’ve labored extensively to make this designer boutique a wonderland for shoe lovers and wine lovers, alike to gather!" As featured in the Scout Guide Austin (July 2022).
