About This Store
Treasure City Thrift is a beloved Austin institution that proves thrifting can be both affordable and community-driven. With prices consistently described as far below typical thrift stores — including items as low as 25¢ — this pink-fronted gem offers shoppers an ever-changing treasure hunt across clothing, accessories, books, art, housewares, and more. Customers rave about scoring Bloomingdale's cashmere coats for $15, real leather jackets, unique jewelry sets, and pristine vintage blouses at jaw-dropping prices. Beyond the bargains, the store operates on a 'solidarity not charity' mission, with all profits supporting community organizations. The small-but-mighty selection means less overwhelm and more focused hunting, and the staff — including the beloved Neon — are repeatedly praised for their kindness and welcoming energy. Treasure City also hosts a free market once a month and runs dollar days and 25-cent promotions. Currently fundraising to move to a new location, the store remains a shining example of how thrift can truly serve a community. A visit here supports local good while scoring genuine treasures.
