About Us

Riva is a unique independent boutique based in the lovely seaside town of Barmouth in Mid Wales.

Hello, my name is Hayley. I've grown up in the business, being third generation in the family fashion trade, I've seen many styles come and go...and come back round again!! 
In 2022, I took over the family business (that has been trading for over 40 years), after my parents retired. The boutique has evolved over the years to keep up with the needs of our customers, the latest addition has been the very popular "Little Miss Riva" styles. Super cute girlswear for ages 4-14 😍
At Riva, we stock Ladies Italian Style Clothing that fit sizes 10-22+. The clothing is mostly size-less, seperated into two categories - Regular and Curves. 
No need to worry about what size to get, fluctuating between sizes is not an issue here! 🙌  
Our styles are unique, comfortable and made for real women 💕
I believe fashion has no age limit 🤩 
Instore, you'll also find a selection of seasonal footwear, handbags, jewellery and accessories. I've put a small percentage of what I stock on this website, so if you've visited the shop and wished you'd bought that one item you've dreamt of since driving out of Barmouth.. just get in touch 😊
I live in Barmouth with my son, Dexter. After years of trying to find my own career path, from hairdressing to dj-ing, I came back into the family business about 13 years ago, and I've not looked back since! I'm passionate about this sort of fashion for all.. easy to wear styles, that have no age limit! 
I love choosing the stock, deciding what styles will compliment my customers, while keeping an eye on current trends and fashion. 
Barmouth is a seasonal seaside town, the shop is open daily from April - October, going down to a shorter week in the winter.
Thank you for taking the time to look through this website..and hope to see you in the shop in the future ❤️
