Twice Is Nice
Twice Is Nice occupies a special niche: an elegant thrift boutique where the proceeds support a worthwhile local charity and the merchandise is curated with a noticeably higher standard than your average thrift store. The result is the delightful combination of genuinely good finds at thrift prices, with the added satisfaction of knowing your purchase does some good. A great spot for clothing, accessories, and home goods — and the kind of place you always seem to leave with more than you planned.
Circa
Circa is a Charlottesville institution — a big, funky, deeply beloved antique warehouse that draws a devoted following of designers, collectors, and treasure hunters from across the region. The scale is part of the magic: room after room of furniture, art, textiles, oddities, and vintage finds that make it impossible to leave empty-handed. Owners travel regularly to bring in fresh inventory, so no two visits are alike. Plan to carve out serious time here — at least an hour, ideally two. A true Charlottesville original.
