Urban Outfitters Sells Pricey Jewelry At The Studio

Filed under: Jewelry

Urban Outfitters usually sells trendy inexpensive items but the brand is taking off in a different direction with the launch of The Studio. The Studio is a jewelry section featuring trendy pieces by up-and-coming popular designers like Erika Pena, BJ by Jules, Calourette, Sabrina Dehoff, Lizzie Fortunato Jewels and Dara Ettinger. The prices are a bit more than you'd see at a usual Urban Outfitters, all the way up to $483 for the Lizzie Fortunato Jewels Daytime Escape Necklace, a multi-strand necklace of brass, sterling silver, gold plating, glass and cotton. The selection of rings on the site is particularly interesting, selections include Dara Ettinger's gold-plated, gemstone knuckle rings, Species by the Thousands animal rings, Calourette's enameled finger and animal head rings.

Millennial Hipsters Outpace Gen X in Buying Power

The new generation of twenty-something hipsters are creative, counterculture and serious consumers. Part of their ability to support the indie brands they love (Urban Outfitters, Steven Alan) is due to parentage: these hipster-ish Millennials are baby boomer kids, and baby boomers boast annual spending power of $2 trillion, much of which goes to offspring wants and needs. And there are about 70 million Millennials -- about one and a half times the population of Gen X -- with their collective eye trained on Vice's Dos and Don'ts.

More and more people are paying attention to the crisis in Darfur, and savedarfur.org is greatly responsible for the much needed recent increase in awareness. Across the globe, the Save Darfur Coalition is inspiring action, raising awareness and speaking on behalf of the people of Darfur. Many businesses have gotten involved to help raise funds for the fight. I'm happy to see that one of my favorite stores has gotten on board, Urban Outfitters. Always stylish and affordable, their new tee shirts benefit savedarfur.org and have a message of support printed on the front. The Public Library Seeds of Hope tee, is $25, get yours today and help spread the word while donating to the cause!
