The clothes and tailoring are just beautiful, unsurpassed quality, but the service — it is truly the best.

IF I could give NO stars I would. I payed Donna Lewis USA a visit on Sunday, February 6, 2022. This was after doing research of black owned establishments in Alexandria, VA. After walking in I was not greeted by the gentleman nor lady behind the register. I assumed maybe it was because they were assisting another customer and they would get to me after. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After the "customer" who did not purchase anything left the two (who clearly were working there) begin to talk about inventory and not once take the time to see if I needed help with anything. Some of you may not see anything wrong with this but let me let you in on something. That previous "customer" WHITE! Me was a BLACK customer trying to support a business that was "black owned" clearly was not welcomed. I was ignored and never once given any attention. I would see the gentleman look my way but never did he once try to speak to me or even greet me. I walked around that 4x4 store about 5 times to be sure they saw me and not once did either say a word. My issue with this is don't claim you are "Black Owned" and not treat your potential "BLACK" customers as if they do not exist. And I say potential because I had every intention on purchasing something and putting my black dollar back into MY community. Again if they don't want black dollars they shouldn't promote themselves as a black owned establishment. I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone to go into this place, because, clearly if you look like me you are NOT welcomed!

I found this cute boutique by accident. It’s stylish and attractive so I walked in out of curiosity. The 2 men who worked there, today 16 May 2021, were not helpful. First, they didn’t acknowledge me, but they were quick to acknowledge an older lady who looked sophisticated and rich. I felt really judged. Those 2 men looked at me with contempt that I shouldn’t be in the store because I didn’t look the part or whatever judgement they have in their head. I would shyly just walk around and look... It felt very uncomfortable. I never felt this way when I walked in these types of stores. This incident felt like the scene in the movie Pretty Woman. I always thought these things happened in the movies; quite shocking that they happen in real life. It’s disgusting that this business pick and choose who they want to help.

Whether you're a fan of Nancy Pelosi or not, you have to admit that her face mask game is on point. This is where she gets the vibrant fashion accessories. (And they must be effective since they have successfully protected her from all those ignorant deniers on the floor). The boutique must always be inundated with orders because they take long to ship. At the height of its popularity, you weren't even able to choose the design. You placed an order and hoped that you liked what they sent you. It just so happened that I did. I recently returned to see that you are now able to choose the color/pattern. But order fulfillment still is seeming to take a bit. Masks are $22 each with a flat shipping fee of $8. The construction of the masks is solid / high-quality. Recommend!

I ordered two face masks. As the last reviewer wrote, the print placement was poor. One was okay, because the design was an abstract print where they couldn't go wrong. My complaint is with the cherries mask, which looked nothing like their photo. They called it "cherries" because, surprise, it had cherries. In their photo, the cherries were front and center and hung in the direction cherries hang. The cherries mask I received had only one set (two cherries), not two sets as shown, and were placed on the far right and were upside down! They must be knocking these masks out so fast that they don't care about placement. But for $22 for one mask not including shipping, placement should have been much better and attention should have been paid to the direction of the cherries so that they were not upside down--if they were going to produce something that failed to look like their photo. I was planning to order more masks from Donna Lewis but found stunning masks on Etsy for less. This was my first order with Donna Lewis and my last. Two stars because the other one was okay.

CAT MASK LEFT LACKING. I order 3 Donna Lewis face masks because they always look so wonderful on Nancy Pelosi. Two of the masks were as pictured on the web site but the third - the cat mask - had no cat faces on it. I think for $22 they could have better selected a piece of cloth that more professionally placed the cats. It is a very ugly face mask and not worth the price. There are no refunds. I called the company to complain and the person who answered was very unsympathetic and non-responsive.

This store definitely caters to an older clientele that prefers very boring styles. If you're into a "Brooks Bros" or "Ralph Lauren" classic look with no style, this might be the place for you.

High quality, classy, upscale ladies apparel for discerning customers, accompanied by the best customer service around. Great Italian labels, classic and stylish designs, and trendy yoga wear. An easy-to-navigate floor plan and a bright and cheerful shopping environment, in the heart of Old Town's shopping district. The kind of pricey place I would sometimes avoid in the past, but the quality of the apparel and the customer service make this one of my exceptions.

Donna Lewis USA is an upscale designer clothes store located of Cameron Street I. old Town Alexandria Virginia. It's kind of difficult to find as it's tuck away in like a really nice alley off Cameron Street, we just happened to wonder down the alley and found it. There or kinda two places and the are right next to each other so make sure you visit both places, they are both Donna Lewis USA, the two places have different outdoor entrances and do not connect inside. The first one is all women's clothing and the second one has both men and woman's. The clothing is of a very high quality and is quite modern, trendy, fashionable and sophisticated. It's perfect for a day of business meetings at work or for more casual wear. The stores themselves are quite classy and while small have quite a bit of merchandise to choose from with many styles of clothing, shoes, jackets, handbags and accessories. The employees are knowledgeable and very will to help. The only thing I find odd is that you can only buy the clothing in the store and while they do have a nice website that show off their clothing nicely and is informative, you can not order clothing through the website you have to go to the store. The clothing is not cheap but is worth the price for the quality. A nice store to visit.

This is a fantastic clothing boutique. Not only are there clothes fabulous but also have a wonderful selection of shoes and yoga wear (especially if you want to look like a fabulous yogis but only dress the part!) The service was exceptional. Amazing store.

Wow! Beautiful clothing AND extreme customer service! The best I've seen. Donna is fantastic and at the last minute ordered me a pair of pants for an upcoming trip in two sizes. They arrived in time (four days), but the zipper was broken on the size I needed. Chris had the tailor swap the zipper and hand deliver to my home just in time to go in my suitcase. Wow!
