Strive

Strive is an elegant, chic, comfy, cozy boutique shop for women, and for men looking to buy for their woman. Their clothing is high quality, reasonably priced, beautiful, and there is a great selection of styles. Also, there are plenty of gift worthy items for moms, sisters, girlfriends, etc.Michelle at Mark Diamond's (located just opposite of Strive in the Flying Star, Nambe, and restaurant Vintage 423 shopping center off Tramway) introduced me to Strive and I cannot thank her enough! Owner Nancy is so friendly and accommodating, and employee Sandy are some of the nicest people you will meet. When I am shopping at Strive I feel like I am in a posh and high end shop in San Francisco without the gigantic prices.I continually support small businesses, and Strive is a fantastic addition to our area!

One of my favorite shops in town. Besides all the hip/beautiful clothing and Tom's footwear there are adorable thoughtful gifts. The staff is always genuine and helpful. Great shopping!Ps.some how you have to fit a man couch in there!

Great for gifts!! This store has a perfectly curated mix of home items, small art pieces, clothing, and shoes. I especially appreciated the gift wrapping and small add-ons that helped me personalize my gift. I can't wait to go back for some cute shoes for myself. It's easy to love shopping local when it comes to supporting shops like this one. I hope they'll be carrying the Upside Goods Co. candles in the future (especially the chai pumpkin scent- sounds basic, but it's so great).

This place is great! It's a little boutique in the Paseo Del Norte Crossing area. It's in the same area as Simply Amish, Flying Star, and Vintage. You could miss it if you don't know it's there. I went there because a fellow yelper mentioned that they sell TOMS. I've been wanting a pair for awhile. A lot of places sell BOBS, but not TOMS. You walk in to this small boutique and are surrounded by unique gifts and clothes. Lots of yoga and fitness style clothing is available. There's jewelery, purses, and a small selection of shoes, including a variety of different TOMS colors and styles. They were decently priced (actually cheaper that what I found online), and there is a good selection. This store definitely features quality items...and some things are more expensive based on that. I will be stopping by Strive again!

Great athletic wear type clothes and some street wear. And I love the name.Wish it was a bigger store

While in Albuquerque for 2016 Balloon Fiesta three of us went shopping at Strive. What a great find. The clothes, the jeans, jewelry, and even under garments were so unique. What you find here is a boutique line of products with the most amazing friendly owner and assistants. They made us feel like family. We had so much fun that we went back to the hotel and brought back our pilot (female) and her sister. Altogether we probably about twelve total hours there. Even though we all live in Illinois we will continue to buy on line at Strive. Listen, it doesn't get any better than this....a boutique line of products with an owner and staff that are friendly and makes shopping so much fun at great prices. Run to this store - STRIVE

Strive has a great selection Clothing for Women, and is now carrying men's clothing as well. The people there are extremely nice and helpful. I have gotten many gifts for my wife from Strive, and she has loved all of them.

So very disappointed to hear how a friend was treated by the owner of this store. My friend purchased a pair of pants that subsequently ripped in the crotch. She took them back to see if they could exchange them or have them fixed. Strive did have them fixed (it took them over 30 days to even respond to her request) but told my friend that she caused too much stress in the crotch and that is why they ripped. The owner never saw the pants actually on my friend and has no idea the shape of my friend (on the small side of a size 8 and super fit). The pants were palazzo pants and super loose as should be. After the phone conversation my friend was so upset her husband picked up the pants for her. He told the owner that his wife was at home in tears over the conversation and didn't she think woman had enough stress in their lives over body image that couldn't she have been more sensitive? The owner had nothing to say except that she stood by her statement that my friend was too big to be wearing the pants. This is not the first time I have heard comments about how rude the owner can be. Needless to say I will not be shopping there again! (Pity for them as it was once my favorite store)
