Local Spotlight: Mimi's Origamis

Mimi's Origamis is an origami jewelry line based in Austin, TX.

“Growing up as a first-generation Japanese-American, origami was a big part of my childhood. It's how I connected with my Japanese culture and gave me a sense of belonging when I traveled to Japan to visit my relatives. It gave me comfort whenever I made big life transitions, and after becoming a mother, I felt myself longing for its familiarity.”

Each piece is made by hand from traditional washi paper with the intention of bringing peace and fortune to those who wear it.

My personal favorite is the Fan & Hoop Crane Collection - a fun and colorful collection that is lightweight and great for everyday wear. I love that Mimi uses 14k gold fill materials as it’s better and longer lasting than plating.

You can find her work in person at:

Okasan Vintage

Earth Commons

and Plant Base Social

or shop the site and stay in the loop on Mimi’s Origamis!

April Market & Skillshare

We had a blast at our Skillshare & Market event on the 29th!

Special thanks to Krista Martinez for the digital images of the latest Market & Skillshare event. We had a blast with all the local Artists and Vendors, guests and workshops by Feats of Clay and Monica’s Porch!

This was the first Flores Market featuring workshops and it was a great success! If you weren’t able to take a ceramics or macrame workshop this time around, check out Monica’s Porch and Feats of Clay for more opportunities!

This is the last market until Fall, since Salina Square is an outdoor venue. Stay tuned for the next Halloween-themed market event! If you’re a vendor, fill out our General Application and we’ll reach out with future opportunities.
