Love this store. You can see the love that goes into selecting items for this store. Lots of fair trade items. Great selection of housewares, gifts for children, clothing, accessories, etc. Friendly staff. The kind of small business you love to support.

Maria Luisa is my go to place when I need to buy a gift for a loved one or a little treat for myself. They have the best selection and very reasonable prices.

This is such a special place. The store owner prioritizes fair trade and philanthropic causes in what she sells and all items are high quality and one of a kind. The staff are also super helpful without being overbearing.It’s my go to store for gifts and when I’m looking for a special piece of jewelry.

On a lovely day trip from NYC to Nyack I had a very unfortunate experience at the Maria Luisa boutique. As a retired person I enjoy visiting different towns and shops in these beautiful towns and will take photos and post on my Facebook page to inspire friends and family to visit these beautiful places and shops. As I browsed this store which at the time had 3 or 4 customers including myself and my friend, I took 4 photos - one of my friend and 3 photos of cute dish towels and coffee mugs with funny sayings on them, I didn't touch these items or rearrange them in any way. When we initially entered the store the sales women were very welcoming and friendly but all of a sudden the mood of one salesperson shifted dramatically. I was walking in a very narrow area and the employee who is an older woman with large framed eyeglasses came way too close to me (neither of us wearing face masks) and said in a stern, unfriendly tone of voice "can I help you?" I immediately felt uncomfortable because of her tone and too close physical proximity to me . I smiled and said no. Then, again in a stern tone of voice she said "any questions about anything?" Again I said no . Then, again with the same stern voice and close physical Proximity she said with the same tone " Any questions about anything you are taking photos of?" In an irritated tone of voice she said next time ask to take photos and looking down at the phone in my Hand she ordered me to "and turn off your camera" I was speechless and never experienced any treatment like this before in any store or establishment . If she said in a neutral tone or dare I say friendly tone of voice - we have a no photo without permission policy or I'm sorry but please no photos - I would have apologized - I saw no signs posted in the store warning of this policy that was obviously very important to this person . On my way home, I found myself feeling very unsettled . This really ended my visit to the shops in Nyack on a very sour note! I decided that I would contact the manager or owner of Maria Luisa boutique to share my unpleasant encounter with their sales person. As I found their information on the internet I came to discover it was the store owner herself -Maria Luisa who treated me so poorly!! Needless to say , I will never return to this boutique! "

Very satisfied with shipping and customer service. Smooth purchase and arrival. However was a little bummed when I opened up my Dansko box only to see that there was small scuffing all over the shoes. I don’t believe I received a new pair, possibly a display pair, but it was something my fiancée noticed right away also, and he is definitely not as detailed as myself, nor as picky about his items, so that told me it wasn’t just me.. a bit of a bummer considering I paid full, brand new price.

Maria Luisa is my absolute favorite shop in Rockland. Actually, it's one of my favorite shops anywhere ! All products are curated by the owner herself. Most products are handmade and/or ethically sourced. This is the best place to buy a birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or any special gift. BEST SHOP EVER!

This is what is needed in our communities. A boutique to buy and to browse quality clothing sundries and more. The proprietor is involved in her community and her customers. Stellar service and the perfect place to shop for the holidays or for a gift whether for a friend, family member or child. Reasonably priced but with good quality. Browse to your delight and leave with a quality dress, something for the bathroom, a present for a toddler or child or even some jewellery. Support local business such as this quality well regarded establishment Browse to your delight and leave with an impressive dress, something for the bathroom, a present for a toddler or child or even some jewellery. Support local business such as this quality well regarded establishment That has a reputation for caring, concern with an artistic discernment which you will perceive upon entering. I suspect its reputation extends beyond Nyack throughout the Hudson Valley into the City. When you leave a smile will stay with you.

Highly recommend Maria Luisa! When I placed a curbside order, they had it ready in less than a half hour and even though they were about to close, they were nice enough to wait for me to get there to pick up my order. Thank you so much Maria Luisa for such a great and positive shopping experience!

I love when I have the chance to visit Nyack so that I can go to Maria Luisa. I know that when I walk in I will find fun, unique items that I can't find anywhere else. From eco-friendly items to the softest sweaters they just have the best selection. Everyone at the store is so helpful. I can always count on them to provide amazing suggestions for things to try on or help me find the perfect gift.

I have been a customer of Maria Luisa's for at least 25 years. Why do I go back again and again? Because Maria's boutique offers unique and stylish clothing, shoes, and accessories and because the staff here makes you feel welcomed and special. I get honest feedback on my choices and often get suggestions on items I wouldn't have considered. In addition, the store is a pretty store! There's lot to see, especially the fair trade items that Maria is proud to offer. It should be noted that Maria gives back to the community through fundraisers and community projects. I actually leave this store feeling great. By the way, I have never had to return anything I've ever bought here. You'll love it. I promise!

Wonderful store carrying unique, fashion-forward clothing, accessories, home goods and more. Great place to pick up a one-of-a-kind baby gift, as they carry unusual (but DARLING) brands. Beautiful clothes, accessories and shoes for the mature, stylish lady of any age. Also of my go-to spots in Nyack (my hometown) for finding the perfect gift whether it is for someone near and dear to me or just a hostess gift for a new friend or acquaintance. I've been a customer since childhood and am currently an employee as well, and have been so pleased to discover more about what makes this unique, ethical, community-minded, woman owned & operated business shine as it has evolved over the years - visit Maria Luisa and you will be met with warm smiling faces and beautiful products to enjoy. Truly a special place (right at home in this special town).
