Shop local

Holiday shopping guide

Clean Hands, 1315 E. Sixth St.
noon-6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday | cleanhandsarmy.com
You might have noticed the “Stay Up” mural in the Pearl District; that’s Clean Hands. Owner Aaron Whisner opened the storefront (next to the MADE workshop) in 2012 to sell unisex street wear, T-shirts and sweatshirts with designs by local artists. He also sells records, books, fine art and “the best spray paint you can get,” which means it’s an artist grade that doesn’t drip. Good paint is handy when you’re painting murals, like the one Clean Hands painted for the Woody Guthrie Museum in the Brady Arts District. 

MADE, the Indie Emporium Shop, Philcade Building, 501 S. Boston Ave.
11 a.m.-4 p.m., Wednesday-Saturday | shopatmade.com and theworkshoptulsa.com
Owner Christine Sharp-Crowe’s store grew out of the successful local art, craft and fashion festival Indie Emporium that she and her husband, Thom, founded in 2007. The shop, which opened in 2011, features the handmade products of local artists, and a few national and international artisans. Be sure to check out MADE’s second location in the Pearl District. The space is a creative clubhouse offering DIY classes and workshops, plus more indie gifts from local designers. 

Okie Crowe, Philcade Building, 501 S. Boston Ave.
11 a.m.-4 p.m., Wednesday-Saturday | okiecrowe.com
Here you’ll find Oklahoma-themed products from baby clothes to Marshall Brewery barbecue sauce and socks, 3 Sisters spicy jellies and salsa, and home brewing-inspired products. Eco-conscious Okie Crowe makes its bath products and dog treats with all-natural ingredients. Look for Okie Crowe soap and scrubs; Pumpkin Lager is great for crisp weather. The shop also carries High Gravity beer kits, “Beer is OK” metal bottle openers, stationery from abstract artist Jessica Wittig, Kouri Fowler’s oil paintings, Turtle Lane pottery and ice-dyed silk scarves by Fandangles. 

Volupté, 2814 E. 15th St.
noon-6 p.m., Wednesday-Friday
11 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday | facebook.com/pages/volupté 
Sara Wilemon opened the ladies’ apparel store earlier this year to suit those with a vintage aesthetic. The shop’s classic old-Hollywood style dresses will stun at this month’s holiday parties. Customers can choose from Pin Up Couture and b.a.i.t. footwear from Los Angeles, Collectif and Glamour Bunny out of London, Trashy Diva from New Orleans and more. 

Owl & Drum, 2810 E. 15th St.
10 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday | owlanddrum.com

Next door to Volupté, Owl & Drum is home to sewing and craft supplies and other creative products. It also is a great source for 100 percent organic cotton fabrics.

Miss Jackson’s, 1974 Utica Square #3
10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Saturday | missjacksons.com
When this Tulsa institution first opened its doors, encouraging folks to “shop local” was unheard of. What else were they going to do? For more than 100 years, Miss Jackson’s has decked Tulsa’s closets and homes with designer apparel, jewelry, home décor and more, with no sign of slowing down. This year the shop introduced a reimagining of its MIJ department, featuring more contemporary and affordable fashion and accessory selections aimed at a more youthful clientele. The department is located at the southeast corner of the shop on the first floor.
