About
We got our start in Santa Barbara, CA in 2017 as a womenswear boutique with a focus on approachable pieces from cult-favorite and emerging designers like Flore Flore, Sofie D'hoore, and Lady White Co. In 2022, we expanded with a second location, Menswear & Objects. We’re more than a store, we’re a third place.

The ultimate warning sign: If a supplier refuses cards or escrow and only pushes for non-reversible payment methods, walk away immediately. This is the number one sign of a scam. Either insist on escrow or drop the deal.
Double-check the names: The name on the bank account must perfectly match the officially registered company name. If it doesn't, stop right there.
First-time orders: Always use an independent escrow service for your first order. This ensures the supplier only gets paid after you have the goods in hand.
