Here at CRAVE, we are all about style and sass, and Currie Bucher’s injects an enticing amount of both into her Austin accessory boutique. From belts to bags, fedoras to fancy jewels, the shop has got everything a fashionista needs to turn her look from just-ok to can’t-look-away! We chatted with Currie about being an entrepreness and why her mom is her role model. And in honor of moms everywhere, Touch of Sass will be holding a trunk show from 1-4, featuring local jewelry designer Sarah Briggs, where you can pick up an extra something special for your one-of-a-kind Mom.
How would you describe your business in 3 adjectives or less?

People may be surprised to know…
That at Touch of Sass you make money when you spend money! For every $700 spent in the store, customers get a $50 gift card!
What was the inspiration or motivation behind starting your business?
I wanted to provide people a place to find great accessories and gifts at reasonable prices. Although I certainly enjoy my little luxuries, there’s nothing better than a great find at a great price!
Who is your role model or mentor?
My Mama! She made me very aware of my blessings and my responsibility to use them to bless others. That’s the inspiration behind our “Share the Sass” program where we donate 10% of our monthly Sassy Hour profits to a different local charity.
What mistake have you made in your business that you will not repeat?
Trying to be like someone else! Instead, I’ve learned to be a better me!
How do you spend your free time?
Traveling, cooking, reading, writing and spending time with my favorite people – my husband and my girlfriends!
What is your indulgence?
Wine! There’s nothing I love more than perusing a dusty bottle shop for a new label.
Where is your favorite place to go with your girlfriends?
My house! There is nothing I love more than cooking a selection of my favorite comfort foods, opening up some delicious wine and having girl talk around our outdoor fire!
