Our Story

The idea for Cara Norman was born out of years of experience in luxury retail, a passion for timeless fashion, and a deep connection to the Nantucket community. I've always wanted to open my own store and I realized a gap in the market for a clothing store that blends elegance, quality, and comfort tailored to the island’s unique lifestyle and every day woman. My mission is to have a collection that everyone can shop the every day essentials, and the vacation lifestyle. My goal is to grow a brand that resonates with locals and visitors alike, offering a mix of staple wardrobe pieces and statement designs.

Cara Norman is proud to be a Mashpee Wampanoag-owned, woman-owned, and locally owned business.

  • Craftsmanship and Quality

    Every piece in the collection is thoughtfully curated to ensure superior quality and timeless appeal.
  • Elegance with an Edge

    Blending classic styles with modern, edgy details to cater to a discerning clientele.
  • Community and Connection

    Deeply rooted in Nantucket’s culture, fostering relationships with locals and visitors.
  • Sustainability and Responsibility

    Prioritizing ethical sourcing and environmentally friendly practices wherever possible.
