"Fabulous store! Wonderful clothing, amazing jewelry and art. Amanda and her crew are some of my favorite humans! I have shopped this store for nearly 25 years. I haven’t even lived in VA since 2014 but I stop in every time we visit our family and friends."

"I bought my wedding dress here (a Jessica McClintock) in 1991. Having just decided not to keep the dress any longer, I opened the storage box after all these years, and found the receipt was in the box, too. Of course I googled the shop. Imagine my surprise to find the store is still in business. Congratulations!"

"I love this store! I like to collect Frida Kahlo and Our Lady of the Guadalupe handmade pieces and I love the beautiful collection they have, particularly upstairs. They also have great jewelry, clothes and fun bags and many colorful fun things. I have bought many pieces from there, including some day of the dead pieces as well, and just love this store."

"I use to live in old town and visited here alot because there are such unique items in this store. The Owner is so sweet and amazing. I came back here for a quick visit and always happen to find something in her store. There is everything imaginable from different countries all over the world with hip and old fashion style. My favorite old town store. Must visit!!!!"

"A funky and unique shop! The clothing is very California mature, as I call it - in the Bay Area so many of the mature women wear linen and flowy funky clothes, even I fall for it sometimes. There is a ton to look at, and you'll never know what you'll find. The staff is super helpful! Jewelry and accessories are super fab - I walked out with a beautiful skull cape/shawl that is just to die for and handmade in India. They have an amazing collection of handmade Indigenous goods from Latin and South America that are unlike anything I've seen outside of those regions or museums. Regardless, this store is a unique and awesome place to visit and unlike any shop in the DC metro area."
