5 stars for STELLAR service by the owner, Janis! We stumbled upon Cognito Clothing on our trip to…read moreSanta Cruz and needed a few outfits for a Gatsby-themed party in LA. Cognito had an abundance of options and we found a few gorgeous pieces! My husband unfortunately left our purchased items at another cafe around the corner and Janis quickly worked with us to coordinate our order to be shipped to LA. We appreciated her incredible customer service, as any other business owner could have brushed it off and said too bad, as it was our own fault, however Janis went above and beyond to make sure we got our pieces shipped to LA and couldn'y be more grateful! We will absolutely be back when we visit Santa Cruz again. Just wanted to share about the kind-hearted owner who absolutely deserves all of the business!!! Please do yourself a favor and visit Cognito Clothing when you're in Santa Cruz!

They offer a variety of beautiful clothing, footwear, accessories and neat items you won't find anywhere else. I came in looking to purchase a jacket for myself and left with items for my sister, niece and a coworker. Reasonable prices, for unique items I wouldn't have found elsewhere. I even picked up an eclectic collection of boxed matches for myself. Beautiful shop, I recommend you stop in and take a look at all of the beautiful offerings. You won't be disappointed.

So, I decided to go inside and check out what they have these days. There's a lot of eye candy in their shop. Besides new items, they also have gently used. What they have to offer doesn't look like it comes from a box store.  They have clothing for men and women. There's a nice selection of cowboy and cowgirl boots. The store has a southwestern feel to it. Besides clothing, they have bolos and earrings too. I love their soft, fringed leather bags.  I talked with the owner, who was very friendly. She has had the store for over a decade. There is parking on the street.

The payouts are very similar to what i've gotten from other buy sell trades, price per item wise, but I was able to sell significantly more here than I have elsewhere. The selection for shoppers here is amazing and their vintage and high end prices blow all the other second hand shops out on Pacific out of the water, will definitely sell & shop here again!

Some things are very overpriced, the disco balls are 65, and tiny, you can get one three times the size at a larger home goods store, I get trying to support local artists, but that breaks the wallet.

We almost didn't go in, but I saw it from across the street and popped in to see what they have. Swag has a bunch of cool 70's eclectic things that I remember growing up (buttons, macrame, poster). If you are looking for that console stereo that your parents or grandparents may have had that can double as a table, they have some pretty cool ones here. They also have furniture and clothing (new/old) here as well. They also have albums, which my husband sorted through and purchased. I can tell if this is a decent store, just by small the album collection.
