STRIPE: EFFORTLESS CHIC

Downtown Santa Cruz is known for its shopping district, a wide array of recognized restaurants, and local street flavor, but Stripe proved to an extra special find. To walk into Stripe is like happening upon a favorite treasure trove: geometric necklaces, hand-crafted leather goods, luxurious bath products, and one-of-a-kind garments from local fashion designers make this fashion and housewares boutique a must stop.
