This is an amazing store! Unique clothing handmade in Nepal! My wife and daughter found several nice items at very reasonable prices. Jeff, the owner, kept me entertained with great conversation about all the classic concert posters and classic vinyl albums he was playing. Definitely worth a look. We will be back, as shopping here was just a great feeling!

Great shop. Tons of unique pieces. Came in on a Monday afternoon. The gentleman working was very friendly and explained their history and story with us. Such a cool background. They recently moved to this new location. It's a nice space and layout. I like it better the the one before. Lots of one-of-a-kind pieces. Will definitely be back.

I will type the intro to this company. This company does not advertise to the amount I like them to do. The products are excellent. And when I buy its a plus when the store is doing something worth while. "Avatar. Jamuna Chaudhary, Dang Nepal. Jamuna, age 20 is one of the many women artisans producing Avatar Products in Nepal. At age 12 she was sold into domestic slaver through a system of bonded labor known as Kamalari.......Over 35 women have been rescued and now are integral part of the production of Avatar products." Now people, don't that make you feel better when you spend your hard earned money knowing you are helping these women? And do not be fooled, this domestic slavery entailed no doubt sexual abuse and all forms of abuse. Happens all the time with these types of operations. So please do support this businesses endeavor to help women be free from such exploitation. And even at this moment I am wearing the leggings I bought there 15 or so years back, and still in fine shape; so they make excellent cloths and to boot pretty looking, soft feeling and also helping women be independent, oh yeah, I can get behind this shop and support em.

I love this place! I came here with my kids and some of their clothing that was on display intrigued me so I walked in. At first I thought it would be so bougie overpriced clothing, but not at all! Their clothes are so unique and reasonable priced. Clothing is super unique. It isn't your average genie flow pants. I would never wear pants like that, but I ended up walking out with a pair of pants and they looked great! I also found out that they design and make their own clothes for a great cause. This place is definitely underrated, and need to get more exposure. The quality and the design is well fitting and great. I highly recommend you check this place out!

This is my favorite store when I come to Santa Cruz. The store has unique fair trade clothing from Nepal. I can always come out with something. The garments last a long time. The fabrics and textiles are of good quality. They have clothes on clearance as well usually 30% off. Handbags and jewelry as well.

Super cute clothing store with fun finds! They have reasonably priced jewelry, flowing hippy finds that echo India, and little gifts like cute socks and bags. The best little fun find? If you have ever been to the Big Island of Hawaii and came across a local, handmade soap from a brand named filthyfarmgirl.com - you'll be excited to know those little sassy branded soaps are at Avatar Imports! They are the perfect little stocking stuffers. With clever puns as names for their different soap scents, it is a naughty but nice addition to any Christmas gift! I have used the soaps, and not only are they cute, but they are made with great quality ingredients. They are a good quality soap. I left the Avatar Imports with a pair of socks for a friend, that was pale blue. The sock graphics had rain on them, and what reminded you of the Morton Salt girl with her umbrella. On the bottom of the sock, the "Morton Salt girl" has fallen down in the rain and the wind had upturned her umbrella. Next to this says, "F^&% this Sh!#" Ahahahaha. Perfect. I had to get them, and the early Christmas present for my lovely friend was so appreciated. We also got a huge laugh. Because life needs a little laughter more times than not.

I LOVE this store. Everything I've bought I haven't tried on and each item fits flawlessly. The materials are long lasting, soft and lay on the body very well. Unique style, unique designs and a wonderful mission: providing income and job skills for women who have escaped slavery. Definitely a shop to check out!

I'm angry that Gypsy Rose was bought out by a bigger company, but it was time for the owners to retire. I like what the new owners did with the store's interior!
