We are proud to say that in the last 32 years we have had the pleasure of working with thousands of happy regular customers that make Safari their first stop when they come to Mendocino. It is important to note that Safari has been under new ownership since October of 2015. When you come to Safari these days you will most likely be greeted by myself, the new owner, and hopefully will get as much or as little attention as you would like. I have been a clothing and textile designer for over 45 years and has extensive experience with helping women find clothing that fits perfectly and moves comfortably with their bodies, even ones with major fitting challenges. We are open every day except Mondays when we are available by appointment. We look forward to your visit the next time that you are visiting our lovely little coastal town of Mendocino in Northern California. Blessings, Yarrow Summers

I visited Mendocino in October 2022. Trying to find Safari - I asked the friendy salesperson in the…read moreQuilt shop. She went with me to show me where the shop had moved. Since it was a Monday - they were closed and I was very unhappy. In previous years - before the Pandemic - I had come every year and found many great things in that store and bought a lot. I wish I can find them on the internet and shop that way. Why are they not listed on the Mendocino Merchants info? Please correct that!@ I miss the store.

In all my trips to Mendocino, how had I missed Mary Ricard's shop Circa? When a friend recommended…read moreit to me, I was there at the door bright and early. Well, I won't be overlooking this shop again!

I'd told the owner Mary Ricard (apparently, according to another reviewer), that I'd been to her…read morestore last year and that she'd let me see the two units she had for rent. And, that I'd purchased a jacket that I LOVED and that I'd left it somewhere. I saw a jacket I loved and I needed a larger size than she had in the shop and I asked if perhaps "they" (meaning where ever she purchased it) might carry a larger size. She said it was the last of the inventory (which I assumed she meant her inventory). She walked off and didn't help to see if I could order a larger size. AND, prior to that, I'd wanted to ask a question and the two store keepers were chatting as I stood there in front of them waiting. The store keeps were in their 60's (I'd guess), so not, inexperienced. I worked in prestigious law firms in the San Francisco Financial District in my working days and realize practically every day that I was so fortunate to learn the professionalism required for working with high-end clients. You don't keep customers waiting while you finish your conversation because the whole point of you being in the store at that moment is to sell. So, while I'd had a very nice perception of Circa's owner last year, I didn't this time around and that's her loss. I told other potential customers and other store employees/owners when I walked out. Word of mouth is powerful for stores like this. I may not have purchased anything, and I won't rush to her store the next time I'm in Mendocino, a small loss for her, but, she doesn't know who I know, who I speak to. And, now I'm telling a larger audience. I noticed a couple of people working in town who left me feeling less positive about Mendocino, a placed I've always LOVED. Your customers are often there to have fun and if you are sour, it sours their experience. AND, you most often ALWAYS remember the nice people and their businesses.

We've been coming in for years, and the owner is consistently so welcoming and kind. My son, Nicholas, is stoked and lights up every time we stop by so he can talk skateboarding with him. He really takes the time to connect which is so cool. Even outside the shop spotting the owner out and about, he always makes a point to say hello. Anyways, Lost Surf Shack is such a "shop local" gem in Fort Bragg. We just walked out of there this afternoon with a set of knee pads and a happy kiddo, and I realized this review is long overdue!

But best of all, the prices are downright reasonable. Not at all what I expected in a Bay Area boutique with EXQUISITE merchandise. I got two sweaters, a dress, a brooch and two necklaces!
