Owned by the same peeps as Igigi General Store and Cafe a few doors away, this lovely boutique…read morespecialises in elegant and stylish womenswear. Refreshingly, they stock sizes 8 to 18 and their niche seems to be classic dresses, skirts, trousers, shirts, blouses, jumpers and dresses made from beautiful and ethical materials. Turning it into a one-stop destination for shoppers in a hurry, they also sell shoes, bags and accessories. Designers include Beyond Skin, Sam Ubhi, Ally Capellino, Best Behavior, Hartford, Anna Nygards and Anouk. If you see something you like and it doesn't quite fit, they also provide alterations and styling advice. If they could make me a size smaller, I'd buy my whole wardrobe from there!

As with the I Gigi general store a few doors down, their women's boutique leaves me in two minds. I…read morelove some of the labels they stock- most with ethical stances, great mixes of classic and avant-garde, particularly Humanoid, Beyond Skin, Fillipa K- admittedly expensive brands. The women's boutique has a harder edge to the decor which is welcome after the crisp clean neutrals of the homestore, yet ultimately, combined with the stiff staff, comes across as snooty.

Until I came to write this review, I always though this shop was called Carpaccio - and I couldn't…read morequite understand why they had named themselves after a raw meat dish. However I stand corrected, and although I don't know anything about the origins of the actual name, I no longer associate this place with pounded raw beef. This is another Lewes clothes shop aimed at middle aged women. This one has a bit more of a distinctive, ethnic-y vibe than some of the others; unlike Darcey or Renwick Clarke which just put me in mind of three piece suites and pristine lawns, Capriccio has slightly more bohemian feel. They sell those striped, handwoven basket bags from Kenya that I associate with the 80s, mostly because my mum used to have one. The clothing labels have names like 'Masai,' 'Sahara' and 'Oska,' and feature drapey, crepey tunics, and other unstructured pieces. They have some nice dressing gowns in ethnic prints, and also a nice selection of hats, including a stretchy straw hat that folds down flat. I am currently in the market of a nice sun hat, so I tried one on, but at £40 it was more than I wanted to spend. They also sell espadrilles and chunky jewellery pieces.

Trailed up the High St looking for a 'party' top and cardigan that weren't pastel and cashmery, and…read moreCapriccio were the only contenders. Their clothes are of clear, jewel-like colours and interesting textures, with a bit of ethnic element. Not cheap, but class shows. (NB I have no connection with Capriccio!) I hate clothes-shopping, and I was so pleased to find somewhere that suited me, so that I could buy a couple of nice things and head home.

I am realy rather biased as I own it. We opened last Saturday so its early days for reviews , but a…read morerather charming young lady came into the shop and asked if she could do a review for Yelp, and ignorant old me had never heard of yelp, so I have looked you up and was very impressed and will use you in the future. In the mean time the shops aim is to provide beautiful affordable continental clothes that are a bit different and wont break the bank. Hopefully she will say the same . ill check in this week and see. Hope lots of yelp users wil visit me at the shop and see for themselves. bye for now . luv Stella.

All reviews are from way back except on in 2023 where the customer is also looking for a refund. You can still buy online so be very careful - you will pay for it, but there will be NO goods delivered to you. This is a scam company it seems. Sandra G

The fact that I've been moved to write this says a lot about the service in this shop. The woman…read morethat served us was rude, unkind and utterly condescending. She insulted my Mum when she tried on an outfit which we both already knew didn't suit her, making her feel even more self-conscious. She then boldly criticised mine and my husband-to-be's choice on our wedding colours and made me feel as though I was being incredibly selfish, even though my Mum already had her favourite colour picked out! She asked nothing about her, what type of wedding we were having, what style, colours etc. my Mum was interested in wearing. I have never encountered such appalling service. We left feeling insulted and angry and there is no way my Mum was going to give this woman her business to buy such a special outfit for such a special day.

Visited this Primark to return a few items and pick up a few more items. Compared to other…read morelocations this one is ok. You can find a few things here and there to complete your closet or pick up your regular items you've run out of like their double pack face wipes for a pound (my one most favourite item). The location itself is not very big and I find then men's section quite small here. The women's floor has a pretty good variety. I always love the makeup section but it is a bit small here too. The queues to pay are never too busy. I find they move quite fast. I also like looking in around the register area for last minute cheap items. If I were to return to Crawley I would be back to Primark to poke around and see what I can find. On this trip I did end up finding a few good items to bring home. Be prepared to pick up items you didn't even intend to buy. Like the 4 tubes of lipstick I picked up!!

I would describe the women's clothing in Noa Noa as...inoffensive. Mostly plain, solid-coloured…read moreoutfits with subtle decorative sewing techniques that definitely wouldn't stand out in a crowd. Long sleeved blouses, vests and softly-coloured half-sweaters were the majority. I saw a few pairs of dressy pants and coats, some tank tops and dresses as well - all in the same style. Items looked to be of high quality and the prices seemed to indicate as much. (Oh yes, the tags had about eight different currencies on them, which was a bit annoying.) Tops were up to £90, pants around £65 and tank tops were £20. Accessories included felt hats, which were pretty cool, actually, and a few pairs of dress shoes. Casual and elegant...and inoffensive.

Not to be confused with the brighton shop Nua, which sells sex toys, Noa Noa has an altogether more…read moredemure attitude. It sells soft, feminine clothing often with a rather vintage look. In the last Autumn/Winter season the look was rather 'Edge of Love,' with felt cloche hats, cardigans and 40s style floral skirts. Their current summer season reminds me more of the Painted Veil, particularly if you look at their catalogue shoots. They have got 1920s style bathing caps and Chinese parasols, and loose fitting chemise tunics. The clothes do have a danger of looking a little bit frumpy if the outfit isn't put together right though. It's not terribly cheap, either, and quite often I feel the more basic pieces don't merit the extra expense. For the odd piece though it's a good place to look, particularly if you are in a romantic or nostalgic mood.
