About Take Heart
Opening a shop has always been a dream of mine since childhood, and choosing to pursue this dream has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Taking this leap required courage, as most worthwhile ventures do, and the name “Take Heart” reflects this spirit—an idiom meaning “to be confident or courageous.”
A Boutique with Heart
Located in the vibrant East Austin, ‘Take Heart’ is a boutique that reflects my love for special, thoughtfully designed objects meant to enrich both the home and the individual. The shop is a curated space that showcases works from local and U.S. artists, as well as a selection of international designers, with a special focus on Japanese design. Each item is handpicked for its unique craftsmanship and artistic value.
Supporting Small Businesses and Artists
At ‘Take Heart,’ we deeply believe in the importance of supporting small businesses and independent artists. The energy and dedication that these creators put into their work are reflected in the products we carry. We maintain close relationships with the makers and designers whose works we showcase, ensuring a meaningful connection between the creators and the shop.
Inspiring Creativity and Appreciation
Our goal is that ‘Take Heart’ will inspire creativity, encourage self-discovery, and invite visitors to slow down and appreciate the beautiful details of life. Whether you’re shopping for something special or simply exploring, we hope our shop will spark a sense of wonder and appreciation for the thoughtfully crafted objects we offer.
A Warm Welcome to Regulars and Newcomers
We always look forward to seeing our regular customers and are equally excited to welcome new visitors. If you’re visiting Austin, we invite you to stop by and experience ‘Take Heart’ for yourself. It’s more than just a shop—it’s a place where you can discover meaningful pieces that inspire and connect you with the artistry of life.
