I stumbled across Mill and Main and I'm so glad I did. Just looking in the window it looks like a…read moreboutique, which it is but it is also a millinery, (which I had to Google), millinery is women's hats or custom-made hats. Yes! They actually make custom hats here! Maybe I don't get out much but I don't think I've ever seen a hat shop like this in real life. They sell more than just hats though, they have vintage clothes, and gifts and fashion goodies from local makers. The staff were very nice and I had to stop myself from buying one of everything from this shop. I'm not in the market for a hat at the moment but THIS is the store I'll be visiting when I am! They had opened their brick and mortar in Feburary (bad timing in relation to COVID unfortunately), but I'll support as much as I can to make sure they're open once COVID is over. If you're in the area be sure to check them out. The shop is on the corner of Mill Street and West Main Street. If you're lucky you'll snag a spot right on front but most likely you'll have to park a block away or so. This area is tough in terms of parking, depending on the day. So know that you may need to do a loop before you find a spot. COVID Update: There is a sign on the front of the door asking all customers to wear a mask as per the state mandate. The two staff members in were also wearing masks. There was hand sanitizer available and I felt very safe while there.

I couldn't be happier with my Mill and Main hat!…read more I will say we collaborated a bit over the phone and my first hat wasn't what I was hoping for. That's the whole reason I wanted to write this review. They worked with me to get the exact hat I wanted with the perfect band. They custom made me a band, sent photos along the way and were just a pleasure to work with in general. These are some cool people to work with. I can't wait to collaborate with them on something else. My hat is so custom and fabulous I've already gotten a ton of compliments on it. I love being able to say that it's custom and well worth every penny.

In Nevada City, CA, in the historic downtown area is Novak's Mens Wear shop. 305 Broad Street. The…read moreshop sells quality menswear brands... Pendleton, Reyn Spooner Aloha shirts, Kuhl hiking and outdoor wear, and other brands. The range varies from casual t shirts, hiking outdoor, and casual upscale wear.

She had an outgoing personality with a gift of making folks feel welcomed. Also she was quite knowledgeable of the merchandise. Historical info: there is a plaque out front indicating that this is the site of the first ever Nevada County's commercial winery built in 1860.

Some well-known brands. I gotta come back and scoop a leather jacket when the weather cools. This shopping trip I scooped up a fun sheepskin steering wheel cover. My grandma had one when I was young & it was nostalgic finding one for myself. Super soft & keeps my steering wheel from getting too hot to touch in the Summer. Also got the most wonderful smelling candle. I'd say this is one of the better boutiques downtown has to offer. As for service, I was pleasantly helped by a nice Asian employee. Knowledgeable and helpful. The owner (I assume was the older woman) seems a bit more reserved...she shoved my sheepskin into a small bag with my candle. Probably would have been nicer if she could have put tissue around it and given me a bigger bag. You kinda need to be a "people-person" if you're in retail. Just a thought...even so, I'm sure I'll return.
