Culture Shop — Local services in Pittsburgh

This place is amazing. It's a liiiiitle pricey but it's worth it as it's all fair traded, ethically made and the owner picks every individual thing out from their travels. I bought a beautiful pair of wooden earrings for $42 and a Baja hoodie for $21. They have small earring studs for $5/pair and more expensive earrings that are just stunning. The people who work here are so nice and comfortable to talk with, and I almost spent two hours talking to them! I would go on the weekend as it's not busy at all and you don't feel rushed and can talk to the employees. 10/10, will spend a lot of money here...

Extremely disappointed. According to the current hours of operation the first time we stopped (while somewhat in the area) it was just before 7pm on Monday 8/9/21. Figure they closed an hour early for some reason. Bummed out but knew we were coming back in a few days to go to sandcastle so would stop beforehand or afterwards. Called the entire day to only get the answering machine 🙄 Extremely unhappy. Even the hours of operation on the shops window says the same closing times as online yet they're never open. At least have some decency to update any changes as its an hour drive one way...

I've been a regular shopper at the Culture Shop for almost 4 years now. They have such gorgeous, unique pieces that are always highly complimented. The owner is a gem too, very old school, paper receipts & travels to Nepal & India every couple of months to restock the store. All of the staff who work here are just so lovely too!! Another one of my favorite little things about the shop is they give you these cute, simple little bags to take your purchases home in, I reuse them all the time! Also, if you get rings from here they are happy to polish them for you...
