There's always that's one cute little shop that you happen to stumble into. Well this was one of them. Right on Main Street in downtown Ventura, along the lined streets of shops, restaurants, vintage boutiques and many more unique stores. We just happened to walk into it while strolling the Blvd looking for a place to eat. First off, the associate was just the sweetest ever. So friendly and welcoming. This places offers plenty of gifts, clothing, accessories and many many more items. Tons of beautiful stones and gems. The jewelry selections was pretty fun with many different selections of fun pieces. As well as all the gifts pieces they offer. The wall of rugs was very impressive. There's also an upstairs that also offers vintage items. We just happened to just walk in and looked around. But next time, for sure I'll make another stop and take my time going through and checking out all the amazing gifts and trinkets they offers.

This store is a gem! Curated by the owner, Michelle, it spans the globe in terms of its offerings--from jewelry to rugs to one-of-a-kind vintage finds. We loved the cork map that adorned one of the store walls, so commissioned Michelle to make us one and we love it. We have serious wanderlust and wanted to mark the places we've been and the places we hope to go and it's perfect. It's a great conversation piece. Come in for a gift for someone else or for yourself; you won't be disappointed!

Passport Habits is a new-ish store in downtown Ventura, specialized in items imported from all over the world. From rugs, home decor items, to clothes, nice jewelry. The place is modern decorated, big, airy. The merchandise is nice, prices are kinda high. But if you like travelling and want something cooler, more interesting for your house, this place is a good one to check out. It's a nice addition on this cool street, full of one of a kind stores.

I have been seeing these cute leather shoes around town and had to try them on for myself. This store if filled with world items ranging from crystal candle holders, to woven colorful rugs, handmade shoes from Spain, to dainty eclectic style jewelry..truly something for everyone! Michelle is amazing- she owns this store and is so helpful..she took her time to help my fiend and I get the perfect size in a handmade shoes because she ensured they would stretch/ I trusted her and she was right! Come here-'see how friendly this place is for yourself! It's so worth it

In love with these rugs!

This store has so many treasures! Beautiful jewelry, and even plenty of stuff for making your own jewelry! There are drawers full of different items including: buttons, seaglass, necklace chains, and MUCH MORE! There was a sterling and turquoise necklace and another coral necklace that caught my eye! There are also hand carved mermaid pendants made out of antlers that are very unique. My FAVORITE part of this store are the unique Persian rugs that are displayed so beautifully. Each rug is so unique you'll never see another one like it! From the colors, to the patterns and designs. My mom and I left the store wanting each and every one of these rugs, they are so beautiful. Michelle the owner is very helpful and super sweet. Her store incorporates so many different parts of the world, right here in the heart of Ventura.

Bloga Bag! Perfect for farmers market and I always get a bunch of complements!

This place is amazing!! I love to travel and I love the passion for travel behind this store! Always changing and evolving... every time I check Instagram, I love to seeing all the new things from the corners of the earth that she has procured and rough to this amazing store!! :)

Bought tassel from passport habits, but I forgot to ask where it was from! Anyway I love it & it ads mucho Flava to my plain black YSL

Very cute little Shop with all kinds of trinkets, jewelry, rugs, clothes, bags, etc from all over the world (literally from tons of different countries, not just "made in china" lol) . The owner was in when I was there and she was super nice with an amazing personality. Even the other customers in the store were very friendly! just a nice place to be at with a good vibe. While I was there I bought a necklace and an adorable tussle charm I added to my bag. I'll post a pic!

I recently came across a 75 year old rug that the fringe was not tied and it was falling apart. It also had white spots everywhere on the rug that you can't see in the picture that were threads showing through. The owner, Abbey, is amazing. He had my rug re-tied by hand and dyed all the little dots in the rug to make the thing look like brand new. The price was very fair and now it will last another 75 years. Also, I would trust no other place to clean my rugs, other than Rug Design Center. Abbey will come over and give you a quote, pick up your rugs and deliver them, it can't be easier.

The poor thing and been sorely neglected, Abby and his team of professionals fixed the frayed edges and cleaned it beautifully. They even took the time to fix where the die had bled into other areas of the rug due to poor cleaning techniques used previously. That was a painstakingly tedious process, of that I am sure. Now we have it hanging on a wall to keep it in pristine shape. But that's not all, the week before Christmas Abby came out and picked up a rug from us that need cleaning spur of the moment. He is always will to help out and has great customer service. I highly recommend Rug Design Center and trust Abby completely.

I was extremely rude because I thought that made zero sense because they had my name. I had my ID they had my signature all of the above. One of the managers could not have been nicer and I wish I would've gotten her name. She was working it out and said it's obvious this is you but then she did something super nice... She says you seem upset. Is there something more than just this going on? I told her yes, I'm mad, but I'm not mad at you. I thought that was just a very grown-up way of her handling a very rude customer. Gave the consult to my friend who needed it and it looks really beautiful. I will definitely be back. I superduper hope that my neighbor's in Ventura go to the store and shop and keep it alive It's too bad that we have lost so many good stores because of online shopping

I saw they had some bottles of my favorite Chai concentrate that I get on Amazon or have seen in little specialty stores on Main Street that were on clearance for $5. I knocked off a star due to the bottles being rung up at full price instead of the clearance price. It was only after I left the store and put my items in my car that I double checked the receipt and caught the mistake. Then I had to go back and stand in a long line to get a refund.

I will say that this outlet can be really hit or miss if you're looking for bit furniture…read morepurchases. But, if you can find what you're looking for, you're going to get an incredibly high quality piece for a fraction of the price. One thing we do like to come here for are for smaller sized options. Towels, back to school backpacks, etc. They always have a good selection here and things are reasonably priced. And, once again, you know because these are Pottery Barn, they are very high quality so you are going to get a great lifespan out of what you are purchasing. Staff here is friendly, but often times are confined to the register area. If you are looking for some help, you might need to hunt around a bit to find someone. However, once you do, they are always very helpful and will go above and beyond to help you out.

I particularly like this location as it's pretty big, always clean, and coming during a weekend they actually were pretty well stocked with cashiers and staff. That's usually my biggest pet peeve at other world markets, as I've ran into long lines and only one person on register but not here. They've got their staffing stacked and everyone was helpful and moving along the lines. As far as home goods go, I love shopping here for cushions, artwork, kitchen wears and occasionally there are some nice furniture items. What I really come here the most for is their international food section. They have some of my favorite ramen, Greek olive oil, German mustard and canned fishes here. A good selection every time and despite a lot of the goods being imported, I don't feel that they crank up the prices or anything like that. Secondly they have a solid wine and fun beer selection - I'm always impressed and it's a great spot for gifts. Happy to see this location is thriving and busy, we're lucky to have a world market in Oxnard.

REVIEW: This biz is good time considering the nature of retail businesses in 2026. :-) I don't have a lot of expectations, I keep coming back here for the huge variety of drinks, teas, food, snacks, chocolates that they offer. They used to carry Chimes toasted coconut, hard toffees, and I would clear them out every time I went in. :-) Unfortunately, they don't carry those anymore. Customer Service is fine enough; although I never seem to find any employees on the service floor. In the past, I have come in for a specific items, and struggle to find an employee to help me, but it is what it is. They have a lot of neat, eclectic items. If you've got some time to waste and want to do some browsing, I would stop by World Market. I'd venture a bet you'd find something.
