About This Store
Lake Travis Thrift Shop (Ladies of Charity) is a beloved Lakeway treasure run entirely by volunteers dedicated to serving over 30 local charities. Customers consistently praise the store for being exceptionally clean, beautifully organized, and thoughtfully curated — with displays that resemble a department store more than a typical thrift shop. The store offers a rotating selection of clothing, home goods, unique vintage pieces, antiques, books (including a notable rare book section with finds from the 1940s–1960s), crafts, sporting goods, and more. The dedicated craft nook and craft section are customer favorites for great deals. While prices are considered reasonable overall and consistent with Austin-area thrift stores, some shoppers note certain items can feel a bit high compared to bargain-style thrift shops. The friendly and helpful volunteers create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes treasure hunting a joy. Best of all, every purchase supports charitable causes throughout the community, making each visit feel meaningful. With inventory that changes daily, regular visitors are rewarded with fresh finds around every corner.
