Sassanova

Cute accessories and shoes and jewelry. One of a kind things where you won’t see yourself coming and going. Great boutique.

One of the best shoe boutiques in DC. To almost want to say Sassanova’s shoes are curated every season so that there’s a shoe for every occasion — from island getaways to black tie affairs. The staff is always enthusiastic and helpful and the sales cannot be beat!

Cute stuff and prices ok for the quality BUT — and this is a BIG one: If you have second thoughts after buying or, in my case, if the $ 300 plus dress you bought online turns out to be too short, you don’t get a credit back to your Visa card. At least, not if you take it to the Bethesda Row store, less than 24 hours after getting it. Which I did. Only store credit available. So… let me get this straight: far as I can tell from the web site, if I’d shipped it back within 14 days of receipt, tags attached & etc., I get the $$ back on my Visa card but not if I get the dress back to the store. Email of yesterday to «customer service» not, so far, answered. Ever hear of truth in advertising?

I walked into the store for the first time hoping to understand all that they offered. On Saturday at 5 p.m., only one customer in the store with a salesperson; yet two women at the register, one just staring into space, never bothered to even say hello. After several minutes, I walked up and expected at least, May I help you, Welcome, Anything! I asked why the cold shoulder and was told they were entering data and the one went back to it and the other continued in la-​la-​land. It was rude and pathetic.
I went next door to discover Sherman Pickey boutique and they were so warm and friendly, I bought a Christopher Fischer sweater and left happy.
I would never return to Sassanova, they don’t deserve business, no matter what their product. Shame on them.

Oh Sassanova– I do love you. If you want awesome jewelry and amazing shoes, this is the place to go. I have been a shopper for years and finally got around to leaving a review. They have never let me down. The employees know my name and my size every time I walk in. The owners are great– always super helpful when they are there…

I like this store SO much better than the one in Bethesda. Sorry, but the Bethesda one is blech.
A few things you should know though…
1) Sassanova is quite an uphill walk from M Street.
2) Don’t come here if you are prone to sticker shock!
I happened to find a pair of Kate Spade shoes here that I’ve been looking for. When I say don’t be prone to sticker shock, realize that the shoes they sell here are quality designers. They don’t mark up the prices (as far as I could tell)
As the saleswoman was getting me a size, I looked at the baby shoes they had on display and the first one was $ 66. So that will kind of give you an idea…
I learned they only get ONE of each size per shoe, so if you see it, and you love it, get it then. Because chances are it won’t be there when you come back.

The selection here is amazing. it is not just the shoes but the accessories, too!
I came to Sassanove today to get a new pair of slip-​ons. Not only was I overwhelmed by color options, but by style options, too.
While there, I also found an adorable pair of red ballet flats. They are amazing and the first pair of red shoes I have ever owned!
If you love shoes, and if you are willing to spend accordingly, check out Sassanova!

I love everything about this store, except the name– it’s just dumb.
The shoe selection is great and they have a lot of affordable jewelry that I love. There is also a cute little section of kids stuff that is fun to look at.

I love the style of this place– adorable, girly, higher-​end stylish shoes galore, great jewelry and accessories. They have a great selection of fancy flip flops, too. I found a fabulous pair of Lily Pulitzer wedges here to wear with a wedding dress, 20% off (I’m a lucky 6.5), plus great little gold starfish earrings. If money were no object, I could have scooped up much, much more.

I am in love with this adorable shoe boutique! Not only do they have a lovely selection, but they also have gorgeous jewelry and accessories, like shoe clips and headbands. Everything was adorable and I wanted to wrap it all up and take it with me!

I think the first words out of my mouth when walking in here after lunch with one of my fave Unilocalers were, «It smells like shoes.» Seriously. I have never seen so many shoes in one place at one time. Except maybe DSW. But these were different. These were fancy schmancy!
I think if I were a girly girl… Scratch that. I think if I were a girl… I’d probably love shopping here. I’d also probably not have any savings. But that’s beside the point. Given, I’m not much into women’s shoe fashion, I have to say that the selection is pretty impressive/​excessive. Probably something for everyone.
I was distracted by the baby shoes/​accessories section in the back, myself. Having a bunch of friends who just recently had babies, or are about to have babies, I’m always on the lookout for great tips on where to get cute baby stuff. Sassanova’s selection isn’t huge, but they’re definitely adorable. I walked out of here with a small gift, which I’m totally thrilled about.
Hey — it’s a lady’s boutique, but if it works for a guy… you know something’s going right.

If you’re a Carrie Bradshaw at heart, this is seriously your paradise found. Shoes that could be considered works of art and prices that match. Hit Sassanova up during a sale and you might be able to swing yourself an unbelievable deal– particularly if you have tiny feet. Although the selection is not huge, the breadth of labels is truly on target. Another little known fact about this gem on Wisconsin is that they have an equally great jewelry selection. I’ve bought as many fun and funky necklaces and earrings here as I have ridiculously priced shoes. This is the place to blow your bonus if shoes or accessories are your weakness– no contest.

This was another store at the S Sale. I picked up the most adorable and unique M by Morenatom pair of shoes– marked down from 153 bucks to a measly 35 dollars.
So, when I was in the G Town hood, we stopped in to check out the bouique itself. I think I said «that shoe is to die for» at least three times. The pairs brightly colored pairs as well as the one with bows caught my eye.
The space is brightly lit and there is plenty of room to try on a pair or two (unlike other high end shoe stores where there is maybe one couch or two or three chairs).
TIP: One of the salesgirls told me about their annual «Insane Shoe Sale» which happens every year– the first week of January. The 50−80% off would make the prices here much easier to swallow.

You love shoes like a fat kid loves cake? Then you must visit Sassanova. (The fabulous name alone would draw you in, no?)
It’s as easy as that. Simple dimple. But be ready to give your wallet a workout. Sigerson Morrison and Michael Kors aren’t cheap dates. You do often get what you pay for, though, especially on your tootsies. Especially here.

Sassanova is a great little boutique in Georgetown on Wisconsin Ave. They have some truly funky and fun shoes, which makes braving the weekend Georgetown traffic worthwhile. One of their favorite designers, I think, is Hollywould — so that should tell you that the shoes are a bit pricey. They also know the people who own Sugar, a clothes shop just down from them on Wisconsin, and the sales of these two stores often coincide. I bought a great skirt at Sugar and walked the block up Wisconsin to pick up a pair of bright green, 50’s-era pumps with white trim from Sassanova to wear with the skirt. It was perfect!

What girl doesn’t appreciate a good pair of shoes to highlight her gams? The truth is, even when the jeans aren’t fitting the way we remember (and we all have those days), shoes are always our friend.
Sassanova is a shoe store beyond shoe stores. Funky, bold, sexy, cute, trendy, stylish — this place has it all. While they do have sales, the prices are above average, but then, the designers featured are also above average. This isn’t Stride Rite.
Take time to check out the jewelry and bags too. And if you are a bride or bridesmaid you should check out the shoes that you can choose to cover in fabrics you want.
