“Great visit to The North Face Norfolk Premium Outlets. We drove from the Williamsburg Outlet as there appeared to be a situation with Fire, EMS, and Police had cleared that entire side of the Williamsburg Outlet. We wanted to buy the Mens Thermal Insulated Vest (Evergreen) for the crazy (50%) off AND Military Discount from $180.00 to out-the-door $85.86. The employees were super friendly, and the black female spoke to everyone upon entrance to the store and shared the 50% Off. Everything was kind and made us feel immediately Welcome to enter and purchase. It is an excellent Store with lots of fantastic merchandise and a Wonderful Staff of Employees. Salesman 939070, 11/23/2024, 03:31:26 PM, Reg 4, Tran: 24185 was the Icing on the Cake (as we purchased and walked out the door); she was super friendly and kind. v/r, Dr. Ken and Lorna King”
“Such a lovely shop! It's so intentional and it feels so special as a consumer to be in a place with local and eco conscious options. Also, Brittany is so personable and helpful...a freaking gem! Thanks for the great shopping experience!”
“I love Holly’s Kollections. I love simply southern and because they do fb live sales and they have online shop I don’t have to drive far to shop. Holly and Robert are awesome!Lets support their small business❤️! I hope to see you guys at North Carolina state fair too?..”
“This review is a bit late! But better late than never! I came across this lovely shop while looking for a local place to reshape an 80 year old British Red Cross cap that I had. I am a vintage collector and re-enactor. I brought my cap to them back in October or November of 2022. It was ready a few weeks later on. I absolutely recommend this shop! The owners and their shop staff are very knowledgeable about hats. They are very friendly, reasonably priced for hat repair and beyond professional. I am glad I went with a small business instead of a larger company! Thank you so much! I will return if future services are needed.”

Thank you very much Jaelyn!!”
“I have been coming to Emma‘s for nearly 3 decades. They do the best work, they help countless Sailors at the last minute for inspections and they care about what they’re doing. You won’t find a friendlier team in the area. We are so fortunate to have Emma and her family here in the Hampton roads area.”
“i placed a pickup order this morning and it was ready within 10 minutes of the store opening! i was totally expecting like a 2-3 hour wait like some stores. the women working there were also super nice i loved chatting with them.”
“In a world drowning in fast fashion and throwaway culture, it’s the slow, steady hum of intention that makes Union Overall Company feel like a revelation.
Tucked humbly on Colley Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, this unassuming storefront offers far more than curated racks and raw denim. It offers a philosophy—stitched with reverence, anchored in family, and worn with pride.
Owned and operated by Brandy Collins and Brian Patrick, Union Overall Company is not a trend-chasing boutique. It is a heritage workshop disguised as a retail space. A living, breathing archive of story, spirit, and second chances. Walk in, and the scent of worn leather mingles with the ghost of industry past. Vintage tools hang on the walls. Repurposed garments whisper from the shelves. It’s not just a store—it’s a space that remembers.
Rooted in Norfolk
The choice of Norfolk wasn’t a marketing move—it was a moral one. Brandy and Brian didn’t just plant roots here; they unearthed the ones already in the soil. They chose Norfolk because they belong to it—and it belongs to them. A city defined by its working-class backbone, naval legacy, and deep-seated community ties, Norfolk mirrors the very ethos that drives Union Overall: resilience, authenticity, and dignity.
This is a business built not for scale, but for meaning.
Their inventory tells the tale. Most of the pieces are thoughtfully curated vintage—garments rescued, revived, and reintroduced with care. Jackets with a past. Pants that carry stories. Scraps that become beanies, wallets, or caps—small acts of environmental stewardship that speak volumes. Interspersed are the rare, in-house garments—limited runs, hand-cut and stitched on-site. Always intentional. Never rushed.
Family Over Flash
There’s a tenderness to how Brandy and Brian operate. You can feel it in the way customers are greeted—more like neighbors than shoppers. You see it in the way they speak of their process, their purpose, and the responsibility they feel to make something good, not just something good-looking.
Their zero-waste approach isn’t a gimmick—it’s an ethic. One born from family values that run deeper than denim. Waste nothing. Honor everything. Do right by your craft and your community. These are principles passed down, not invented.
A Local Business with a Bigger Story
Union Overall Company isn’t just important because it’s local. It’s important because it reminds us what “local” can be. Not just a place to shop—but a place to connect. To reflect. To remember that fashion, at its best, isn’t just about appearance—it’s about identity. It’s about knowing where you come from and wearing it like a badge.
Norfolk is lucky to have Union Overall Company.
And in a quieter way, Union Overall is lucky to have Norfolk—because no other place would have made sense.
In the rhythm of this city, in its stitched-up past and its hopeful future, Brandy and Brian are preserving something precious: the idea that clothing can carry memory, that businesses can carry values, and that home… is something you make by hand.”

“Best place to pick up your online orders. They also offered cute costume jewelry near the register. Such a great staff that I filled out an online survey (while at the cash register), naming 3 of their employees and rated them all with the highest possible scores. They had Gap Logo t-shirts for buy one get one half off on Cyber Monday 11/27/2023.”
“Many great high quality items tucked in here, especially if you are looking for a gift for someone, both children and adults: Melissa and Doug children's toys and books, beautiful baby clothes, infant baby toys and rattles, bath toys, Belgian Chocolate counter with amazing selection, vintage/antique items like beautiful lace table clothes and some dishes and glassware. There is a little bit of everything!”
“The store was clean. The staff were pleasant. The dressing room were surprisingly well maintained. Overall, this was a great shopping trip. I found a few things that I loved immediately to add to my wardrobe. Ross for the win!?”
“Had an issue where I was double charged an item. A whopping $50 extra added to the bill. A lot of stuff happened in the week that these items were purchased and i didn't notice it until I got home(I live out of state) I called may 7th and the items were purchased April 29th. I spoke to Ashley and she was able to get the issue resolved while we were on the phone. She was very apologetic, which I think it was my fault not to check right away, but she took care of it right away. Great customer service from Ashley.”
“I had the opportunity to work at this store. The staff are beyond helpful. They provided a friendly atmosphere. The store is by far the neatest and cleanest store I've seen. I would definitely shop there off the clock.”

“I love Calvin Klein it fits me really well and the quality of the clothing is great. The store is always clean and organized. The staff are always friendly and willing to help.”
“I truly enjoy shopping here and I will drive the 45 minutes to an hour because I know that I will find something. I go to shop for my sons and I am never disappointed! Prices are reasonable and the customer service is very pleasant.
Continue with keeping smiling faces.”
“First time in there I was impressed. Only thing I didnt like was the fact the clothes sit so high on the wall and its hard to get them down and waiting on an associate takes awhile”
“Should've written this review months ago. The manager there is awesome! I came in here a few months ago right before an interview to find a nice shirt and her and another employee there went out of their way to help me find the right shirt! This wasn't my first time encountering a great experience there with the same manager! She always go above and beyond. Definitely shop here if you'd like great advice while shopping! They also have a great selection of clothes.”
“Boutiques... Must I say more. Sooooo, love them.... In town and by happenstance saw clothing in the display window so of course I had to stop in. The two women who were working and I think were the owners of the boutique were avant stylish, especially for this area which fashion forward isn't the 1st thing you may think of given its other memorable traits. Beautiful clothing as well as jewelry with a small smattering of shoes adorned the space. Seasonal wear from 3/4 - long sleeve sheets, sweaters, jackets, parkas, jeans, skirts and all are fashion forward. Nothing is cookie cutter here. Edgy, original, colorful, demur and eclectic. There is also a chic bohemian style to many of their pieces with notable authentically designed necklaces that can accentuate any contemporary or free spirit design. Whenever in town again, NYFO will see me again..”
