Our good friend Steve Soria who is a Santa Barbara native (or Santa BarBarian as they are called) recently decided to take up a family talent that he was surrounded by growing up. Welcome- Make.Smith -a leather tradesman doing handmade wallets,pouches, and pretty much anything cool and leather goods related. We got a sneak peak inside his studio recently. Products can be seen in person at the Santa Barbara Luggage Shop and soon at our very own Supply Room!! Swing in and pay him a visit to check out his amazing handmade goods sometime soon.

That’s right-we have decided to open a shop here at the Presidio Motel-The Supply Room. It  will carry everything from clothing to books to pottery to that much needed sunblock you may have forgotten about when packing!Featuring the likes of Rachel Comey, All for the Mountain, Osborn Shoes, Anntian, and many more!
