The owner Jekia was in the store when I arrived and she was so sweet and helpful. She gave me some details about her shop and mentioned that there was another black women owned shop just a couple stores over. She even walked me down there and introduced me to her. Very kind of her! Five13 Studio has gorgeous clothing and jewelry items and even some instaworthy spots for photos! I'll definitely be back to shop soon. This biz is located just down the way from Morelia's Paletas, The Cactus Club and The Brown Sugar Collab. Can we pause and appreciate the fact that all of these businesses are owned by minority and/or women!!! #girlpower. This is a great strip of businesses in busy South End.

I just love coming to this gem in Downtown Davidson. Being a Davidson resident, I think it is…read moreimportant to support our small local businesses. This place is so unique and special. I shop here regularly and truly enjoy the experience. The Village Store is part of our quaint Main Street area not to be overlooked. You can shop for housewares, local foods, boutique clothing and jewelry, toys, Lake Life and Lake Norman local gifty items, like tshirts, pillows, tea towels, etc. There is so much to look at here, and trust me, you will find something you love! The staff there is very friendly and the store is so well stocked. The prices are very fair compared to other boutique style stores, but I'd say the Village Store has the biggest selection of home and gift items in the Lake area. They have begun putting out their fall decor, and they really have some beautiful displays during the Christmas season. I really enjoy shopping here.

They have a lot of unique items here, too, encouraging lengthy browsing. I was able to find a perfect gift for Christmas, and continue to visit this store every time I'm in Davidson. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, too. I only wish they were open later on Saturday night (like 7 or 8pm) so we could visit after dinner, rather than having to go before. Definitely check this place out of you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else!

I have mixed emotions about this place. I walk past it EVERY day on the way to work and I eyeball…read morethe items in the windows. If it's cute...I make a mental note....if I gasp...I'll walk in and usually will not purchase because they won't have my size. grr. I have to get a dress in a size large in everything so it won't look like a micro mini on my long legs. And Larges tend to fly off the shelves. Lets face it....I'm not 20 anymore and I shouldn't be in a micro anything. I'm all woman..hear me roar. I think this location is a little bit "hipper" than the other location that is in the South Park area next to WS. That location has some of the same pieces but I've been in there and the items would def appeal to the older crowd (40's) and then made mid 20s. Today..... Uptown location made me proud. I had my eye on a Chevron Black and White LONG maxi skirt that was at another boutique in dilworth. I called them and they sold out in about a week. *tears* of sadness. Oh WAIT...I thought to myself...I think Ivy & Leo had the same skirt....I'll check on Monday. Walked in today with a coworker and I couldn't find it on the rack. *tears of sadness* I browse the sale rack as I morn in silence. My coworker said "is this it". A light from heaven shown down with all it's glory as she held up my beloved chevron black and white maxi skirt. "YES" and I snatched it. Thank the good Lord it was a large. I would have probably bought it anyway if it were a small and squeezed my thick'um thighs in it. (Don't judge...you know you've done that before). Here's where I get irritated. I'm happy and I asked the sales girl to hold it for me as I need to go back and get my wallet. I could have sworn she rolled her eyes in her head and I politely said that I would be back...no need to worry. She just grabbed it and said "Name?" wow....someone's got the Monday blues. So I went back and the OTHER nicer girl helped me. Anyway..that's my story. Check it out. It's a trendy little place and dangerous for me as it's on my way to work....blah. I have a shopping problem.

I loved browsing through the store with my friends, laughing at the funny items, admiring all the pretty jewelry, and exploring the quirky finds.

There was a good variety of things and my friends and I all found something we liked.

The staff were friendly and this was a fun store to visit.

At the three week mark, I emailed them since I had received no correspondence at all. I was told my sweatshirt is still in production and that they are a small company. It has now been another week. I still have received no correspondence. A coworker of mine who ordered a sweatshirt the same day as me got an email stating hers had shipped but she has not received it. So as of right now, they got $80 from each of us and we have nothing after about five weeks. That is either a scam or just a horrible business. I will never order from this place again and will not recommend to any of my friends/coworkers.

Oh my goodness. I had been hearing wonderful things about this place for months before a friend…read morefinally pulled me in here. Seriously, it seemed like every time I complemented somebody on their jewelry earlier this year they would tell me they got it from Versona. With this in mind, I was excited to check it out. First of all, the selection is incredible. It's pretty much a massive boutique of jewelry. Everything seems to be roughly organized on tables by color. Many of the pieces either come in sets or have supplement pieces that match with them. I didn't see any broken pieces just laying out and I've never heard any of my friends whine about the jewelry being cheaply made. Prices are pretty decent. Few, if any, jewelry pieces are over $20.00. The sale section is massive and about half the original price. I've had great luck finding what I'm looking for in the sale section. As far as jewelry goes, you're definitely going to find something that you like when you come in here. It's pretty much impossible not to. In addition to jewelry, Versona carries other accessories such as clutches, scarves, hair bows, and shoes. They also sell clothes. I found a rather crappy laptop case for 5 bucks. It fell apart within a week but I wasn't that upset because I had gotten it on clearance. I bought a clearance scarf here last week for $7.00 and it seems to be made pretty well. My friend is a ballroom dancer and she finds almost all of her accessories here. She cannot rave enough about how awesome and affordable the hair accessories are. I've found the shoes at Versona, though cheap, to be really uncomfortable an cheaply made. The clothes at Versona are stylish, but definitely overpriced. I saw maxi dresses and shirts that I could easily find at a regular department store for half the price. Overall, Versona's selection cannot be beat. Though the accessories are iffy, the affordable jewelry is the way to go.

Upon entering the store, we could see two women (employees) talking to one another. They didn't…read morelook up or acknowledge us. No worries. But the next person who came through the door, they both yelled out "welcome in" and I looked at my friend to say, "did they say anything when we walked in?" She acknowledged they didn't. My friend was looking for items for an upcoming business trip and I was just looking around. No one said anything to us still. The two employees continued their chatter. I walked closer to the registers where they were located looking at shirts and only then did one of them speak. I never turned around when I responded. Now, Versona isn't a place that I usually go. I have been in one other location. They were extremely helpful and welcoming. They were engaging and wanted my friend and I to have a great experience. Here, they were more concerned with their conversation. They have a major selection of clothing, colors, jewelry and styles. The store is really nice. The clothes are a good quality and for the price, you will really love your items. I highly doubt I will return to this location.
