About Star Bar Design: The Texas Crystal Tee and Jewelry Brand

Star Bar Design describes itself as "a mother and 2 daughter team based in Texas." That is the brand's own wording and it is as specific as they get about who is behind it.

The brand spells its own name Star Bar Design, singular, on its website and on its own trade profile. You will see the plural used around the trade, including in places on our own site, but singular is what the maker uses.

The brand does not name a founder anywhere it publishes. We would rather tell you that than guess at a name, and if the story matters to you, call us at (830) 693-7573 and we will ask our rep.

Star Bar Design publishes no founding year on its website or its trade profile, so we are not going to put a date on it. If we learn one from the brand we will say so here.

New Braunfels, Texas, per the brand's own trade profile. The brand itself says simply "based in Texas."

Yes. The brand says it is based in Texas and its own site carries the line "Handmade in Texas." That is part of why it sits well alongside the other Texas makers we carry.

The brand describes itself as a mother and two daughter team. It publishes nothing further about the structure of the business.

Two things, and both are on our floor. Crystal embellished graphic tees, and handmade crystal jewelry. The brand's own description covers "current western and trending jewelry designs, accessories and creative graphic tees."

Honestly, both, and the brand's own material pulls in two directions on it. Its website describes itself as "Handmade original jewelry made in Texas" while its trade profile files it under women's clothing. We carry roughly half jewelry and half tees from them.

Its own site lists necklaces, bracelets and earrings. What reaches our floor is mainly crystal beaded toggle necklaces, layered crystal and pearl necklaces, and beaded bracelets.

The brand lists earrings as one of its three jewelry categories. We do not have them on the website at the moment, but it is always worth asking, because we can often get a style in. Call (830) 693-7573.

A good part of it. The brand describes its designs as "current western and trending," and the tees we carry lean that way, with longhorns, donkeys and cowboy artwork alongside the seasonal and whimsical ones.

In Texas. The brand says of its own necklaces that "Each necklace is handmade in Texas," and its site carries the line "Handmade original jewelry made in Texas."

The brand does not say. "Handmade in Texas" is published about the jewelry, and the brand never states where the tee blanks themselves are made. What it does say is that the crystals are hand placed, which is the part done by them.

The brand makes no country of manufacture claim for the tees, so we will not make one for them. The crystal work is described as hand placed by the brand in Texas; the blank is a separate question the brand does not answer.

The brand says so of its necklaces, describing them as hand wired and handmade in Texas. That is the brand's own claim and we are happy to pass it on as theirs.

It means the beads are strung and wrapped onto wire by hand, piece by piece, rather than assembled by machine. It is slower, and it is why two pieces in the same style can differ slightly.

Yes. Accents Boutique in Marble Falls, TX carries Star Bar Design crystal bling tees and crystal jewelry. Call (830) 693-7573 if you would like to know what is on the floor today.

At Accents Boutique, 212 Ave H in Marble Falls, about an hour from Austin. We have been on the square for over 33 years and we are glad to hold something aside for you.

The brand's online store sits behind a wholesale login, so the parts of it that matter to a shopper are not open to browse. The simpler route is to call us at (830) 693-7573.

The brand never says so in words, so we will not put it in their mouth. What we can tell you is that its store is password gated and it runs an "Apply for Wholesale" page, which is how a trade focused brand is usually set up.
