A small shop with a big heart full of hard to find coastal vintage treasures... from Montecito to Nantucket. Exceptional goods with a taste level to match. Love having these guys as part of our local retail collective... they have a unique point of view that expertly marries vintage and new... and perfect for Santa Barbara.

Without closing your eyes to transport yourself, take a step inside the miniature Mate Gallery where the West Coast meets the East Coast. The adorable store is hidden inside the inner courtyard of the Montecito Mart. It is filled to the ceiling with nautical-themed home goods and tchotchkes. A few favorite items were a braille Playboy magazine, unique Dusk and Sunburn candles, and plenty of whale items (I personally have a collection). I just so happened to venture in during the Holidays of which there were ornaments, Christmas trees and a bunch of fabulous gifts for that special person. Even better yet: they offer to wrap whatever you purchase with their adorable seagull tissue paper! Consider Christmas present shopping done and done! If you prefer more personal space, they also have a website to peruse at your leisure.

Fabulous gift store with one of a kind and vintage items. Definitely a must-stop-shop when looking for something out of the ordinary. Thanks Reed for guiding us through the shop. Glassware, specialty decanters, books, mugs, hats, candles, watches . . . my "wish-list" is pretty much the entire shop. Located in the Montecito Country Mart, and surrounded by boutiques, coffee and pastries, Read 'n Post, Von's, and Bettina.
