About Longhorn Fashions™
Longhorn Fashions™ was launched by Tessie Watson in August 2010. As a UT alumni Tessie was always searching for unique burnt orange clothing and accessories but didn't always have very much luck finding it...especially not in a hurry! She found a solution by combining her love of the burnt orange, her love for local artisans/designers, and her love for fashion.
Longhorn Fashions™ continues to reach out to local designers, as well as national fashion brands, to offer unique burnt orange pieces at affordable prices. Since the LF audience is a mix of spirited students and young professionals, a strong part of the Longhorn Fashions™ credo is that wearing your school colors can be done in style and without breaking the bank. In 2012 Tessie decided to take her business to the next level by restoring a vintage Airstream trailer and filling it with the stylish inventory. The Airstream was a great way to build the Longhorn Fashions™ customer base and bring fashion to the fans. After one year of selling Longhorn Fashions out of the Airstream trailer, it was time for a permanent location! Tessie received the key to the first brick and mortar location in August 2013. It was such an exciting day!
The store-front located at 709 w 22nd St Suite116 Austin, TX 78705 has been such a great way to interreact with our customers and it has turned out to be the best decision we could have ever made!
