In Solana Beach’s Cedros Avenue Design District eight women—all with a keen eye for design—make up this collective in a converted warehouse. Each vendor is unique. Ruby Lang sells antiques and oddities; Christie Napier sells children’s toys and gifts; and Carole Carden, the collective’s founder, stocks books and stationery. Fans include architects, designers, and visitors looking for a unique trinket to take home. Among the unusual items you can expect to find include Japanese furnishings, vintage perfume bottles, and handmade jewelry made with silver from Taxco, Mexico. (The other businesses along Cedros Avenue are worth exploring, too: furniture stores, art galleries, and restaurants.)
