We are super pleased to be a part of The Penny Rose, a local blog started by long time journalist Christa Martin. This week is Santa Cruz Fashion Week, where a boutique is featured each day with two fall looks. Today Stripe is featured with gorgeous photos by Nick Chao and great behind the scenes video by Deva Blaisdell-Anderson and a little interview by Stripe co-owner Dana Norrell.
