Where do I begin? I thought I was just walking into a shoe store, but I had the most fantastic experience while I was there, and when my husband arrived in the store as well. Roya is an exceptional person. She is an absolute delight to meet, and by the time we left there, we felt we were friends. I bought a pair of shoes that I wore the next day......and absolutely loved how my feet felt in them. I love shoes with pizzazz and these are gunmetal metallic woven shoes. So fun!!!! At 80, I'm certainly not done having fun, and these shoes help me with that. Mara was SO nice to both of us and we felt like we were in her home having a social get-together there. There will never be a time that we go to Novato, CA that we don't stop in to see her. Thank you, Roya, for your delightful personality, and your giving, loving nature.

ALWAYS stocked with plenty of “eye candy” from which to choose unique, stylish fashions, shoes or jewelry. Lovely!

Great vibe here. The saleswomen were friendly, helpful and even pulled stock out of the back (before it hit the sales floor) for me to try on. I explained my body "issues" and they had many recommendations to enhance my figure. I love their assortment of dresses-great selection! I highly recommend this store!

This is one of my favorite boutiques in Marin. The owner, Roya is such a classy lady. She is super helpful and really knows fashion and her merchandise. Her wide selection of Italian shoes and unique clothing and handbags are both classic and on-trend. If you're looking for quality products at great prices & great service, you have to check out this beautiful place in downtown Novato.

Visited Mara's yesterday with a couple of friends and was blown away. So much love and support for women and beauty. We laughed, we cried, we shopped. Do yourself a favor and bring your favorite dress or outfit and you'll find the most exquisite scarf to complete it - the largest and most gorgeous selection of designer scarves in the bay area. Shoes, Bags, Jewelry, Clothing - Uniquely Curated Collection. Something for everyone.

Mara can turn the plainest dress or pair of jeans into an a total outfit that can go anywhere you want . She is a fantastic stylist and not afraid to make recommendations. I love the unique designs she carries. Whatever I buy here continues to get compliments throughout the years . Mara is a wonderful person who can’t help you enough.

I came in today for the first time based on the great Yelp reviews. Lisa was endlessly patient, friendly, and knowledgeable helping me look for the perfect shoes. Unfortunately I have tricky feet issues so wasn't able to find anything this time, but totally loved their choices in stock and will definitely be back on a regular basis to check out the new options in my quest for the illusive stylish, comfortable, and supportive shoes. I signed up for their emails to stay in the loop. ;)

It is a rare occurrence for me to give a five star review on a first visit to any business, this place is fantastic. They have a beautiful selection of leather (everything), some nice jewelry, and the staff is exceptional. I'm not much of a boutique type person, mostly because I don't fit in most of the clothing sold in places like this. I strolled in after promising to buy at least ONE gift at a small shop in downtown Novato, I wanted to promote shopping local and all that good stuff. So, I walked down Grant Avenue, in and out of a few shops, and not one person said "Good morning," or "How can I help you" as a matter of fact, they were either on their cell phones or looking down their noses at me. Mara's was different, I walked in, both ladies said "Good morning" and offered to help me. One of the ladies pulled out so many earrings (that's what I was looking for) that I thought I might be there all day. The store is so well decorated not just for the holidays, but the displays, were beautiful. I feel like I found a little treasure and at first I didn't want to share, but, that would be so unlike a Yelper!!! Great customer service, the best in Novato!!! Purses, shoes, clothing, jewels ... and wonderfully helpful sales associates. I wish everyone could go find a little something in this magical place - it felt magical, as if no other store mattered. I'll be back.

Mara's carries the most stylish. Whether shoes, handbags, scarves for women and men, jewelry and more. Service is excellent.
