There was definitely someone in the back and some lights were on so why not open the door? It was super frustrating since i traveled to come here. The clothing in the window was cute but can't say anything else about the store since I wasn't able to go inside.

Truly my closet is 90% from this store as I have curated a wardrobe from here over the last 14 years. Taylor curates the most beautiful selection of clothes, accessories, and gifts--you can always count on finding something unique and stylish. What makes this boutique truly special, is Taylor and her staff. They are refreshingly honest and genuinely care about how you feel in what you're trying on. No pushy sales tactics, just real advice to make sure you walk out with pieces you'll actually love and wear. Every visit feels like shopping with a trusted friend who wants you to look and feel your absolute best. Between the warm vibe, the quality finds, and the down-to-earth team, Seastrand is a true gem that I recommend to everyone!

I think the prices are a little high for used clothing but they seem to be focused on offering quality products.

Heritage Goods & Supply is in the coastal Southern California town of Carpinteria. The shop is…read morelocated next to the largest Torrey Point tree in the world. I was there to check out the tree. Oh that tree is glorious, over 225 feet with a truck of neatly 21 inch circumference. Anyways back to the shop. It's in a red painted building in front of Lucky Llama coffee. Heritage sells sustainable, eco friendly items in a curated country store. The merchandise range from baby clothes, toys, art, kitchenware, stationary, vegetable and flower seeds, dishes, drink ware, etc. Think modern and hip. The items are practical and beyond the mundane same old. The price points are at boutique pricing but not so outrageously priced. The items that caught my eye were art prints from Hello Coyote, and Little Salt Wagon. May I add, pieces were affordable ranging from small prints, greeting cards, to larger sizes. Little Salt Wagon is art from local Ventura County artist Amanda Cox. Simple, but beautiful watercolors inspired by the rural Ventura County surroundings.

The selection of clothes are seasonally appropriate, and Jana is good about having those shoulder season items as well.

Definitely worth a stop in, you might very well get hooked like I have.

Every time I make a shopping trip down Linden Ave I give this store another try, and each visit I…read moreleave with nothing but ideas of things I could make for a quarter of the price I saw them at. Island Outfitters is a beachy themed adult/seniors store, I would say, that carries mostly brand name clothing made with high quality materials and very high pricing. They do have a section I enjoy browsing at the front that include seashell style gifts and home decor. During the holidays they have beautiful, unique ornaments as well, but again way out of my price range. There is a funny little fur ball dog that greets you each time you walk in. It's very friendly and well trained, just wants to say hi! They also usually have packets of California poppy seeds at the front in an orange paper wrapped back for you to take, no charge. I love the concept of keeping California traditions alive like that. The staff here are welcoming and very focused on their jobs. They may not make a huge effort for customer service but if you go up and ask questions they're glad to help. Parking can be found on Linden Ave, side streets, or the lot behind Crushcakes. I will continue to come back to see what new ideas that have brought into the store, but quite honestly unless there is a massive 70% off bargain sale I don't see myself seriously shopping/purchasing here.

I happened to find this shop on a search for Carpenteria gift shops as something to do on our recent road trip up to Cambria. When I saw that they are part fabric and knitting shop, along with gift shop, and when I saw how cute and colorful it is, along with 5 star reviews, well, I thought, let's see what this is all about. All's I gotta say is that it was everything I had hoped it'd be, and even though I walked out empty-handed (THIS time), I was super impressed with the adorable gift-type items, knick-knacks, and everything in between. The store was beautifully decorated. It was colorful, inviting and enticing, and it had a huuuuuge selection of fabrics and things related to sewing. Now that I'm retired, I have nothing in my way to returning to sewing again. I even still have my Singer sewing machine from when I turned 16. It's now an antique... just like I am. LOL Roxanne's is not that far away, so I can easily make a return trip to buy something... and will !!

During our visit, she touched a few of the dresses, and the sales person just stood over us glaring without saying hello. She instructed my daughter that the bracelet she picked up was not a headband for her stuffed animal, in a pretty direct way. We felt very unwelcome and I was honestly scared my daughter would pick up or touch something else so we left. P I hope the owner will consider hiring salespeople who are kinder to children who just want to see and touch the gifts they have FOR children all over the store.
