Painted Tree is unique in that there are local artisans, craft makers, and vintage items you will find here at super affordable prices. Parking is never an issue when I come here to buy a unique piece for a friend or family gift. There are a lot of Austin-centric and often handcrafted pieces here. I have seen original artwork, candles, quilts, glassware, and a ton of stickers and even kids-related and appropriate finds. I recommend coming during the week but often times on the weekends the management will run specials and give a percentage off for shoppers. I would consider checking their social handles for events. I have seen several themed events that last from open to close such as summer events, mother's day, and even recently a Halloween (or holiday) themed promotion to get you inside and browsing. No need to remember vendors or take down names or booth numbers. All you have to do is grab what you like and when you check out the staff will scan and utilize their system to get you through your purchase. The staff have always been helpful and friendly.

The shopping experience here is so fun! The way the store is set up, you feel like you're working with a personal shopper that set out items just for you. I walked away with a cute af satin skirt with a side slit and a crop tank. I'll definitely be coming back for any special occasion outfit!

I only just found out they finally opened a VS in southpark meadows, and it is about time! One fun…read morething I'd never seen before when I came here is there are little computers at each door, and inside the dressing room - you can click a button to call a sales associate outside to let you into the dressing room, and the computer inside lets you search for designs/other sizes to see if they're in stock. They also have a little QR code that you can scan which plays a video on how to know if your bra fit is correct. Very cute! The set up in this shop is also nice, although I will say it is definitely not as big as the VS in Barton creek mall. Nevertheless - the staff were really friendly and helpful here. They had their semi annual sale going on too and were knowledgeable about additional deals to stack. And after we shopped they gave us coupons for use in the spring. Overall - while I don't shop at stores in person much anymore, VS remains one of those places that I get coupons in the mail for, so I periodically go to use them or update a piece or two of my wardrobe. I'm glad this VS location is now an option since I occasionally go to southpark with friends for old time's sake hang outs, and there are still many great options!

It was end of day on the last day of this but I was still able to score Birkenstocks and two new balance sneakers for around $130. INSANE. The employee helping us was super helpful and kept going to the stock room to see if they had additional sizes. I appreciated the effort and the fact that he didn't seem annoyed.

I've shopped at Madewell online and the shop in Atlanta and was happy to see another shop here. The store is clean, bright, and well organized. It's a great place to finally try on that thing you kept leaving in your cart online. I ended up finding some great basic black Ts for a reasonable price. I also appreciate that they had quite a bit of staff working on the weekend. I was asked if I needed help a few times and took someone up on the offer one of those times. Otherwise, it's pretty basic retail. A bit cramped, but that's expected in this highly-trafficked part of town.
