I like shopping there. Most of their clothes are made in the U.S. Good quality and great choices and also their sales are fun as well.

I usually buy clothes online and textiles in Guatemala, but I wandered into this beautiful store and fell in love with the hand block printed blouses, dresses, robes and napkins. I love that the owner travels to places like Chiapas, Mexico to meet the weavers and pay them fairly for their beautiful goods. The prices are excellent. The salespeople could not be lovelier or more helpful. I’ve been stopping by so much, they say, “See you tomorrow.”

I love this place. I have been shopping here for over a decade. It has become my go to place to get gifts for all the women in my life. I struggle with finding gifts but not here. There is always something small or fun or interesting for everyone. Don't forget to go downstairs. There are always great little finds there tucked away. I'll be headed there for Christmas gifts. Hopefully they have the frasier fir candles for my wife again. Make sure to look through the jewelry as well. They tend to have items that are from around the world and domestic artisans. The cards are fantastic too. I like that i can get something that's a bit unusual or get a postcard as a greeting card. The best part is that there seemed to be a little story about everything in the store. These little stories help make the gift a bit more special and thoughtful.

I’ve shopped here for years and my most treasured clothing comes from here! The women who work in the store are so sweet, friendly, and helpful. They always remember me when I come in. I miss the old days when they sold furniture, but I love the children’s section and have found some great home decorations in the current setup.

What a great local shop. High quality and distinctive clothing and accessories. Doomed, sadly, due to recent high density zoning and infrastructure (no parking) changes. Awesome owner. Go now.

The most lovely gift shop! Whether it’s a secret santa, a housewarming, a wedding, a gift for a mentor or professor… I truly believe you can always count on Nomad for a gorgeous, unique gift people are sure to cherish. I’ve been coming here with my Mom for over 10 years - and it’s always a joy! The staff are so kind and I love their commitment to fair trade and to uplifting artists from around the world.

I always find something nice even when I'm not really looking. I got my hat, scarf and aBudda candle. They even let me buy a small display bookshelf.
