Lola in SB



One day while reading our local paper, my mom let out a groan. A reporter had written about "her" short cut to work and she worried that now everyone would be using her same secret route. Deciding whether or not to expose something unknown by the masses should be given serious thought.

Then again, the more people know about something, a new consignment store in SB, for example, the more great clothes will be taken there. So, I am letting the word out: Lola, at 1221 State Street, #13 (formerly the SB Basket Company space) has come to town. First there was Lola, in a hard to find spot in Carpinteria (871 Yucca Lane). Now we have our own Lola, and it is a lovely spot.

The store is light and airy and the clothing is carefully chosen and displayed. There are a number of great jeans, super cool shoes and boots, pretty original jewelry, luxury brands (Marni, DVF, Elizabeth and James), as well as relaxed Santa Barbara staples such as cozy sweaters and chic knit tops.

If you take good care of your clothing and accessories but have tired of some current pieces, bring them to Lola. You will get a percentage of what your items sell for, and you can then purchase new clothing. Or you can put your money in the bank!
