Her store is like a gallery there are; statement fashion pieces, mosaics, art- gifts, jewelry & staples like no fuzz ball leggins which everyone LOVES! :) Check out Ella Louvi if you like clothes, jewelry & art!

I am a social shopper and enjoy building relationships with the individuals I shop with...I walked into Ella Louvi a few weeks ago and was greeted by Grace - the owner herself. Not only did she recommend pieces and bring them to me in the fitting room, but she went into detail on what and how I can wear each piece for different styles and looks. Since that first experience, I have been back to her store every other day picking up items one piece at a time because her items are chic and unique, high quality, and very affordable. I got a smoking hot red jumpsuit for under 100 dollars, unreal! After my next couple visits, I had an email in my inbox from Grace thanking me for shopping with her and that she really enjoys talking to me while I shop, and now we talk almost every day! She keeps me up to date with what she has coming in and when, sends me pictures so I know what I want to try on during my visits ahead of time, and is always willing to put items aside/hold them until I have a chance to come in. Shopping at Ella Louvi with Grace and her wonderful coworker Ania guarantees you will walk out with a one of a kind piece that fits you flawlessly and doesn't burn a hole in your pocket at the same time. Customer for life (unless I move!).

They are a favorite place to stop on First Fridays, when I can hardly get in the door! And the stream of new and fun fashions and accessories is non-stop. Service is friendly and personal, too. Still one of my favorite stops. This is like shopping in a dear friend's great closet. Although the store is tiny, the variety always surprises me, and the service can't be beat. I find interesting items I find nowhere else, and while their prices are consistent with other stores, their sale items make them more affordable. There is even a comfortable place to sit! I have purchased tops, purses, outerwear, scarves, jewelry, and other items. Easy to miss since it is north of Casa Bonita and before the train tracks, up a couple of stairs. But with such a uniquely-vintage location and terrific items and service, it is worth the extra steps. Easy parking right in front, or in the copious parking lots around the corner on Lake Street. No I do not work for them - I am just a huge fan and want to be sure they stay in town!

I've been meaning to check this out all winter and glad I finally stopped in. They have super cute clothing - both casual and a little more dressy (think cocktail attire) for women. The price points were also really great! A few of the brands I recognized were Astr and Heartloom, but I also spotted a bunch of new ones. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to try things on, but I"ll definitely come back for my spring/summer shopping needs. They also had a great rack in the back of winter clothing on sale, but I'm ready to say goodbye to winter this year. The woman who worked here was super friendly to everyone who walked in asking us if we were shopping for anything special. And the store was beautifully decorated as well! I look forward to shopping here soon!

There's all the big ones - luxury Chanel, Dior, the occasional Hermes (!!) as well as more contemporary brands such as Rebecca Taylor and Theory. They have a huge selection of clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags, as well as home items like art and furniture. Items range in condition from new with tags to used but all in great condition. Depending on when you go there are some great sales including a big one in the summer. Can't write a review without shouting out the lovely ladies who work in the shop! So kind and helpful, and respond to emails very quickly. Worth a stop if you're looking to shop sustainability and find great deals in the North Shore.
