    Bug- the store cat
    Haley Z.

    The store was kinda dirty and dusty, but it's set up kinda cute and you can clearly see everything. Mainly the profits go to a great cause, the animals, and everything is very cheap. Clothes was very organized and seemed like some good finds. I found a themed prayer candle that was only $2 of my favorite author. Makes a cute decoration. They have a store cat named Bug that is extremely cute and small. The man working clearly did not want to be there and was not friendly. A woman asked for help about something and he just kinda gestured to an area of the store. We tried to make small talk when checking out and brought up the cat and he just grumbled that it was the landlords, very odd. We had no trouble parking in front in the smaller lot.

    If you're looking for another Austin thrift store to add to your go-to list, be sure you check out the locations Austin Pets Alive (APA) has to offer! I always find boutique treasures or quality vintage pieces to add to my closet. It is also nice to know that all net proceeds directly benefit the animals of APA. 2022 Bonus: if you're interested in shopping before the new year, be sure to go ASAP because the *entire store* is 50% off! But if you find this review in the 2023 new year, don't worry, as their prices are VERY affordable. Most clothing is under $10, with more rare pieces ranging from $14-30. Love APA! Please go check them out and support.

    This thrift store is spacious, well organized and clean. I was surprised to see a very nice selection of wedding and formal dresses for under $100. I found their pricing to be all over the map. They have a really good deal on books and knickknacks, but their clothing is at least twice the price you would pay at Goodwill. I was surprised that if you check out with a credit card, you'll be confronted with a tip screen which you would normally associate with restaurants. I was told that you can return any item within seven days for store credit. All in all, as an avid thrift store shopper, this should be on your list and of course the cause is a good one.

    Pure happiness after scoring such a huge haul for a fantastic price

    Highlight of my day! I had some time to kill before a movie so I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of incredible clothing that was available. Brands like Michael Kors and Allsaints along with vintage items that were super nostalgic to browse through. All in superb condition. I also found a few books for such a great deal, just $1-$2! Cannot leave out the best part, all of the proceeds go to the Austin animal shelter. What a great idea for an incredible cause. Totally worth checking out

    I love being able to thrift and have it support such a great cause! Good variety of things inside, mostly clothes. There's also some pet stuff too, which was super helpful for finding a cheap cone for my dog! My best score of the day was a cute MK cross body. Decreased a star because parking in front is pretty limited but there's a bit of parallel street parking right across from the store.

    I love thrifting so much

    Charm School Vintage is one of my favorite stores in our neighborhood…read more They've carefully curated vintage pieces with western flair (clothing, jewelry, etc). In addition, you'll be able to find items from various eras as far back as the 30s through the 70s. I've seen some stuff there even older than the 30s. Everything is of exceptional quality and condition. Not only do they sell but they buy as well. If you've got vintage wear you'd like to get rid of, try them. They give cash or credit for things they'll buy from folks. As with most stores like this, you'll get more in store credit for your stuff. Fun fact: they've also got a location in Waco.

With a contrast of muted colors at the next-door boutique, Charm School Vintage is full of color, textures, and flavor chic. According the store manager, each piece in the shop is purchased directly and not on consignment. One rack is white to off-white bohemian chick pieces. While all clothing is vintage, there are a few modern items such as journals. The store manager was super friendly and made me feel I was the only one in the store. This was the perfect spot for anyone who loves fashion with a bit of spice. Prices are in a rather broad range - from inexpensive amount to a bit pricey.

    I was really excited to go thrifting at a few shops around Austin while we're in town, but…read moreunfortunately this experience completely changed that. If you have young kids, I wouldn't recommend bringing them here. As soon as we walked in, my two-year-old accidentally stepped in front of the employee, and her reaction was surprisingly rude. She immediately told me she was overstimulated and doesn't like kids in the store. She said he could sit on the couch but wasn't allowed to walk around. I understand setting boundaries if a child is being disruptive, but we had literally just walked in, and he wasn't misbehaving.... just being a toddler. I explained that he's only two and it's not realistic to expect him to sit still the entire time. After that, she gave me a dirty look and continued to stare at us while I tried to shop, even though I kept him right by my side the whole time. In the end, we decided not to spend our money somewhere that made us feel so unwelcome. It was disappointing, especially since we were looking forward to supporting local shops. Just a heads up for other parents this may not be the most kid-friendly place, and you might not feel comfortable shopping there with little ones.
