I purchased over $1000 in dishes from this store in July 2023. The dishes needed to be shipped to our home address outside of CA. The store owner charged our cc but never sent the dishes. Lots of lies and excuses but no dishes. He even stated at one point that the dishes had been shipped and would be arriving soon. We received nothing but more excuses. Thankfully, my bank was able to intervene and refund our money. We never heard from the owner ever again. Don't trust buying from this store.

My favorite pair of sunglasses from Stabiles was stolen so I contacted the store to order a new pair. They did not have the same pair but the sales person, Sierra, suggested a pair very similar. The service was exceptional and the shipping was fast. I LOVE the new pair! Thank you Sierra! Would definitely recommend.

After my experience and after reviewing other comments here, I have to assume their friends are the ones writing the 5-star reviews. Oppressive shopping experience where we were treated like potential vandals or thieves during our visit. Had some unique things, but also had plenty of overpriced miscellanea on display. Supporting local is one thing, but being taken is another. Also seemed a bit inconsiderate to blast (terrible) music out onto the street... Could hear it down the block after we left. Will be giving my business to one of the many other [superior] boutiques in Santa Barbara.

Great spot, great staff, great merchandise. The Stabiles Brand is a true lifestyle retailer. Once you step foot inside there State Street store you get inspired through a unique combination of product and creativity. They also have a truck parked in the Funk zone during the weekend that provides its own culture, flavor and energy in that area that not only draws your attention to shop but also makes you just want to hangout with the staff or the owner Sam. I definitely recommend everyone checkout and shop at this lifestyle boutique.

Love this store! Moved here a few years ago and got to say i love coming here to get cool stuff that i never knew I needed! I bought a chain from there and the clasp had become stretched out and unwearable and they fixed it for free! The owner is super nice guy and always has some awesome lofi techno playing. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

The employees were highly professional and knowledgeable. Aside from that, I love the gown she found for me.

Little cockerel with a Napoleon complex runs the place. Blasts horrible music that better artists wrote and thinks he's some sort of musician. Hasn't the slightest idea how to be civil.

Every time I’m there I find something new! Always great vibes from the staff and on the evenings they have a good DJ playing! Go support local!:D

One of the coolest stores in SB. Plan on spending a good amount of time browsing the carefully curated offerings. It’s a very special, one-of-a-kind place to shop.

Stabiles is forever my favorite place to shop for high quality gifts. They really have something for everyone! They’re fun and helpful staff are always ready to answer any questions. They helped me pick out an amazing new tool box for my dad and he absolutely loves it! Best local boutique by far.

I purchased a defective item which tore in 3 different places the first time it was worn. Stabiles made it impossible for me to return or receive a refund and they were extremely rude in the process. Do not buy from these people with unmoral principles who rip off their customers.

I visited Stabiles last week for the first time and was surprised by the attentiveness of the employees. They were so excited to talk to me about all of the special products they carried and had a story for almost everything. The store is a culmination of beautifully crafted products, so In addition to supporting a small business I was also thrilled to find out I also directly supported artists by shopping there. I will definitely be shopping there again, great place to find unique gifts!

Great job at sourcing local artists. Really knowledgeable, selective, and passionate about the brands they carry. Employees are knowledgeable about product details. Great spot to shop for creative minds! Ask for Josh!

The store implemented a no-phone policy, or touching, in store. Items are expensive and staff regularly reminds you not to touch anything or use your phone in store. Despite the annoyance, there was a leather wallet I liked ($165) and wanted to see it and Google the brand's story. Staff yanked the wallet from my hand, said no phones or pictures to which I said I wasn't photographing, and asked to see the wallet again. Staff denied me and turned her back and walked away. It was my bfs birthday and I was going to buy the wallet, not only the store missed out on a sale but they lost a customer all-together.
