I love the wooden draws towards the back so much! It gives the shop a lot of charm. Service here is always wonderful---always very positive interactions. I love the range of prices here. I expected everything to be super expensive since it's a boutique in Providence but they have a nice range, plus sales and clearance and marked down sample sale items! You can really shop here on any budget! What a gem!

I have bought dresses for a gala and weddings. I get my daily clothes for work and going out here, and a lot of my lounge clothes too. They have great sales! Dixie has helped me a lot with how to dress for my body and has helped me adapt to new styles. She also helped dress me for an interview.

They have a nice shoe selection, gifts, jackets, sweaters and pretty much anything you need to wear for holiday parties. I know they are going to be impacted by the bridge closure and traffic detour so I encourage people to make the effort to come out and support this local business during the important shopping season. They really are worth the trip!!

OMG. I just WISH there was one of these where I live! My girlfriend and I wandered in here on a…read moreMonday--they were one of the few businesses open on a Monday, and thank goodness they were! There is such a fabulous collection of ladies clothes here. Dresses, pants, tops, scarves, jewelry, shoes--all curated, seemingly for me! Tons of cotton, linen, and silks, a full rainbow of colors and fabrics, and applicable to a wide range of ages. I do feel it is geared more for women 30+, especially women who are artistic and colorful, and who care about comfort. The staff were positively lovely--it was so welcoming here, I could have spent a couple hours more just going over every corner of this fab shop. Thank goodness they also were willing to ship, because I bought so much there was no way it was all fitting in my suitcase. No trip to Providence will be complete for me without coming in here.

They carry both women's and men's sportswear, mostly tees and shorts and polo shirts. The clothing was cute, but I have to admit the price tags were a bit astounding. $88 for a pair of swim trunks? $140 for a button down shirt? $95 for a tee? The quality was lovely, but for items meant for lounging and playing, those prices are a bit steep. The woman behind the counter was welcoming and informative; she was friendly but not pushy and let me do my browsing after she told me about the sale. WHen i thanked her and said goodbye, she was just as nice. I can see the older set on the East Side digging these threads, but honestly they're just not for me.

I didn't really think they'd work cause I'm under 5' but sales associate Sabrina urged me on. So did my daughter. Between their nods of approval and an onlooking customer commenting on how great they fit, I was sold. Love shopping at Nava cause the vibe is fun, congenial, sincere and helpful. I have been eyeing striped pants awhile but this was the first pair that had the quality feel and smart styling that made them worth a trip into the dressing room. Thanks, Sabrina and Nava! You made it easy to support a small business!

I found a cute shirt on the sale rack and many other cute sweaters that I couldn't afford to pack for my trip home. I appreciated how helpful the staff were. You can tell they really care about making people feel comfortable in their store. It was pretty size inclusive and they had a rack specifically for plus size styles.
