Founded in 1994 by UVA architecture graduate Amy Gardner, Scarpa began as a shoe store and grew into one of the finest women’s specialty shops in Virginia. The philosophy has never changed: choose pieces for their thoughtful craftsmanship, smart design, and timelessness — pretty and interesting, always. Expect designers like Dries Van Noten, Ulla Johnson, and Zero + Maria Cornejo alongside fine jewelry and a curated beauty selection. The store itself has been lovingly redesigned six times, and it shows. Shopping here feels like visiting someone with impeccable taste.
