Originally Vertigo Inc., the store began as an innovative gift and art retailer in the heart of Houston's Museum district. After 8 years of rapid growth, founder, Lauri Turner, moved the store to Austin and the long road to haberdashery began. For the next 20 years Vertigo went from gift retailer, to custom clothier, to accessory specialty and now, modern haberdashery."
