ABOUT US
Pygmy Hippo Shoppe is a tiny gift store dedicated to curating kitschy and unusual treasures from independent designers and vintage estates around the world! Measuring in at 100 square feet, the shoppe is filled with everything from statement jewelry and dead-stock accessories to greeting cards and nostalgic home decor, and we promise you won't run out of things to see!
Founded in 2010 by Emi Avanessian and Nathan Cabrera, Pygmy Hippo expanded in 2017 to include The Big Top, our secret event space connected to the shoppe, where we host exhibits and shows throughout the year.
