Our Santa Barbara Story
Only in Santa Barbara began with a simple idea: to create a place where visitors and locals alike could find authentic, high-quality souvenirs that truly capture the spirit of our beautiful coastal city.
Founded by Santa Barbara enthusiasts who were tired of generic tourist trinkets, we set out to curate a collection of merchandise that celebrates what makes our community special—from our iconic red-tile roofs and Spanish architecture to our stunning coastline and vibrant downtown culture.
Our mission is simple:
To offer exclusive, thoughtfully designed Santa Barbara-themed products that serve as genuine mementos of your visit and tokens of local pride.
Every item in our store on State Street is chosen with care, reflecting our commitment to quality and our deep appreciation for Santa Barbara's unique charm. We're more than just a souvenir shop—we're your connection to the authentic Santa Barbara experience.
