The Wardrobe Reopens at Gateway to Falconhead

Written by Cathy Hale | May 30, 2018

You may remember the mother-and-daughter owned shop, The Wardrobe, located in Revival. When Revival closed its doors for good in 2017, The Wardrobe relocated and officially opened on April 19 at the Gateway to Falconhead.

The Wardrobe is about triple the size of its old location, which was only 850 square feet. The bigger showroom can accommodate more merchandise and more significant items like furniture and lighting, which owners Karen and Danika are excited about.

Shopping at The Wardrobe gives you a casual, yet stylish hometown feeling and reminds you that even in Lake Travis, you can Keep Austin Weird.

If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s how it works …
