A New Braunfels-based clothing designer has opened its first brick-and-mortar at 1623 New Braunfels St. in Gruene.

Sunshine Tienda opened its brick-and-mortar location Nov. 28 after more than a decade selling clothing online.

"We wanted to create a place where people could step directly into the world of Sunshine Tienda and feel that ‘vacation happy’ spirit in person," co-founders Laura and Amanda Ernst told Community Impact.

The pair also said they want to continue building in-person connections with the local community.

What they offer


Sunshine Tienda offers a variety of women’s and children’s summer-inspired clothing and accessories.

"Locals get instant access to everything Sunshine Tienda like the experience of finding the perfect fit hat and shopping for in-store exclusive products," Ernst said.

The shop also sells select jewelry, bags, shoes, dresses and more.
