Information may not be reliable

Zanzibar is in transition. We have closed our store at 6th & Lamar. We will keep you up to date about a new store location in the future. In the mean time we are still doing design consultation and by appointment visits to our treasure trove of a warehouse.
We look forward to hearing from you.

The Story of Zanzibar
Judith and Trey Massengale, Owners Judith teases that she married the boy in the grass hut next door. Trey jokes that Judith rescued him from paradise when she swept him off his feet on the island of Bali. After an adventurous courtship, including long moonlit conversations in the tropical breeze, Judith and Trey knew they would spend a lifetime together exploring world cultures.
Together they searched for treasures hidden in villages throughout the world, bringing their discoveries into their home and the homes of family and friends. One day, they realized their passionate project had grown into a business. They created Zanzibar Home & Gift to share their love of travel and the soulful, captivating objects found along the way. Today, the adventure continues as Zanzibar enriches your lifestyle and the spirit of Austin.
