@dulcineaiowacity has been a beloved fixture on Du

@dulcineaiowacity has been a beloved fixture on Dubuque Street since it opened in 1996. This charming women’s apparel store, locally owned and operated, offers an eclectic mix of casual and stylish clothing for women of all ages, along with unique home décor items.

Beyond fashion, the shop cultivates a warm, personal atmosphere and vibrant sense of community. Sandra Navalesi, the original owner, always prioritized honesty and customer satisfaction, ensuring that everyone who walked into her shop left feeling fabulous. Her simple yet effective philosophy was, “If I were you, would I wear it?” This approach kept her connected with trends and her customers’ tastes.

Dulcinea carries an impressive selection of brands like Free People, Michael Stars, and Latico, alongside handcrafted jewelry and home decor treasures. The store’s warm, friendly atmosphere has made it a favorite among locals and visitors.

A highlight of Dulcinea is the stunning mural on its exterior wall facing Iowa Avenue. Created by local artist Anne Ullerich in 2001, “Medicine for the Soul” is a vibrant tribute to Iowa City’s rich literary heritage. It features references to literary works, from “Don Quixote” to “Harry Potter,” and was part of the UNESCO City of Literature development. Chat with the staff to learn more and see the full list of literary references.

Dulcinea’s history is as colorful as its apparel. The building at 2 S Dubuque St, dating back to the late 1860s, has housed various businesses over the decades, from the Wikel Typewriter store to a trophy and engraving shop, and even a coffeehouse. Each incarnation has added layers of charm and character to the space that Dulcinea now calls home.

In 2019, Clare Mummey took over the reins from Sandra, promising to maintain the store’s adored boho-chic and contemporary style. Clare, with her passion for fashion and community, continues to uphold the welcoming and stylish spirit that has defined Dulcinea for over two decades. Having shopped there since she was a kid, Clare cherishes the memories and magic of Dulcinea, ensuring it remains a beloved destination for years to come.
