About Texture

Texture is a woman owned and operated gift boutique located in the heart of historic Ghent in Norfolk, Virginia. Texture was founded in 1999 with the mission of providing unique artisan merchandise to the local community. We stock small makers, artists and brands from our neighborhood and around the world. One of the best parts of shopping with us is that you are also supporting hundreds of other small businesses too!
