STRIPE: SANTA CRUZ LIFESTYLE

Stripe is a sensory playground, filled with carefully curated apparel, household goods, vintage, trinkety-types, bath and body delights, and super friendly staff. It's become my favorite store in Santa Cruz.

It carries the kind of products I prefer to support: high-quality, small-batch goods and up-and-coming designers, American made, with progressive taste and sharp style. The kids section is adorable with things you can’t find just anywhere the selection of stationary and local soaps and perfumes is delectable.
