Jewelry maven Kendra Scott is expanding her collection to include a whole new demographic: men.

Scott and CEO Tom Nolan are launching Scott Bros. by Kendra Scott, the Austin-based brand's first men's collection. It's due to hit stores and be available online June 7, conveniently in time for Father's Day and graduation gifts.

"I've been a jewelry designer as long as I've been a mom. As my boys have grown, so has this business," says Scott, who is the founder, designer, and executive chairwoman of the brand. "That's why I'm thrilled to introduce Scott Bros. by Kendra Scott, designed in collaboration with my sons to be fun fashion that anyone can wear."

The collection promises to be full of both manly styles and gender-neutral designs, made from genuine stones, leather cord, paracord, and vinyl beads. Prices start at $68 and go up to $198.

The new collection will also have Kendra Scott's famous charity component, with proceeds from the collection's Cade Suite supporting the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Art Therapy Program.

Twenty percent of proceeds will also support the Shop for Good Giveback for family and youth organizations. Since 2010, the company has given back well over $40 million to local, national, and international causes.

"My boys have grown up with this business," says Scott. "Back in the day, they would come to the office and go 'treasure hunting' for beads stuck in the cracks of our wood floors. To now design a collection with them is truly a full-circle moment for me."

Austin icon Gary Clark Jr. to play free show launching wife's maternity pop-up

Bumpsuit is now open at the Domain Northside.

Austin icon Gary Clark Jr. is playing a free hometown show on Friday, December 13, to celebrate the opening of his wife, Nicole Trunfio's trendy maternity store, Bumpsuit. It's open now, and will be in Austin for six months.

Clark will be playing with his band: King Zapata and Elijah Ford on guitar, JJ Johnson on drums, and Dayne Reliford on backup vocals and keyboard.

They're fresh off the announcement that Clark will receive a Texas Medal of Arts, one of the highest honors a Texas artist can receive. He's known for modernizing the blues — not overwriting past traditions, but bringing the established sound into popular music people love whether they're conscious of the genre or not.

The new store's neighbor Grimaldi's Pizzeria is bringing a pop-up bar to the event, and there will also be yard games, photo opportunities, and more, according to a release.

Bumpsuit is filling an auspicious space for minimalist fashion at Domain Northside. It'll spend its tenure at 11700 Domain Blvd. Suite 120, the former site of Austin's first Skims Workshop, which has since moved on to a permanent location in the same shopping center.

The two stores are very similar in aesthetic, with Trunfio's focusing on maternity and postpartum wear. Styles are generally made in neutrals or jewel tones, and cut in extremely simple shapes.

“After spending our summer on tour as a family with Gary and his band, we are excited to end the year at Domain Northside to coincide with the opening of our Bumpsuit store,” said Trunfio in the release.

"Doors" for the (presumably outdoor) concert next to Bumpsuit neighbor Vuori (11701 Domain Blvd. Suite 154) are at 7 pm; the show starts at 8:30 pm.
