DO NOT SHOP AT URBAN OUTFITTERS- What a rip off and I'm not just talking about the bad quality and overpriced clothing.
It's hard enough making ends meet these days. It's especially tougher when corporations like Urban Outfitters steal ideas from young independent designers. People like me in times like these are trying to make money any way possible. One way young artists are making money is by selling their handmade local art on sites like Etsy. Unfortunately companies like Urban Outfitters and it's affiliate companies have seen the potential and are cashing in too. Please read the following and stop shopping at Urban Outfitters. If you can't help by buying from us then at least stop buying from them.

You can help your favorite local artists by clicking on their sites and Etsy shops and posting them on your FB pages. Word of mouth is powerful.
