Local artisans presented their products Thursday afternoon in the 1000 block of State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, bringing a larger local presence to the city’s shopping hub. It was the second week of the State Street Promenade Market, the newest maker marketplace in Santa Barbara. “I love that Santa Barbara is trying something new,” said Leah Holman, owner of handmade jewelry business Fringe. “This
is giving an opportunity for businesses to stand up, breathe again, get outside, show their wares. “I think that’s what Santa Barbara needs and not so many high rents. We need more attainable goals for the little mom and pop shops.” She misses Piccadilly Square, now Paseo Nuevo, which housed local vendors in small storefronts. Ms. Holman represented her product as well as Salty Brothers Soap Co., whose storefront at 429 State St. sells a variety of local vendors including Fringe. She sells
her jewelry wholesale to 100 stores across the United States. She began making jewelry when she was just over 15 years of age and sold it outside of UCSB’s University Center. It helped her save enough money to study in Paris. After traveling, she came back to Santa Barbara and settled down. Now, she calls her jewelry business a retirement gig. The pandemic shut down her business, as it did to others, and she created more jewelry. Henry Sanregret, founder of SBCBD, started selling in markets
in December after the pandemic closed trade shows. He sells 12 products in 50 retail locations. “Ideally, we would be at a big trade show in Las Vegas or L.A. for a health food convention to try to get into new stores, but we’re pretty restricted currently,” he said. Now that he has started selling at marketplaces, he plans to continue even after trade shows reopen. “It’s been great to kind of put a face to the brand. I’ve met a lot of people that will stop by the booth
Southwest Airlines announced new daily routes to Las Vegas, Oakland and Denver from its new service at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport Thursday morning, giving officials hope that the travel agency could make a comeback in 2021. After a tumultuous year for the travel agency in 2020, travel officials say this news could not have come at a better time. “Air travel is very sluggish during the pandemic, but increasing the number of flights that are landing in Santa Barbara will be fuel for the economic recovery,” Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara told the News-Press. The Southwest service at the local airport will offer three daily
flights to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport, one daily flight to Denver International Airport, and one daily flight to Oakland International Airport starting on April 12, 2021. Tickets for these new routes are available now. Airport officials say these new routes will give travelers access to more than 50 cities in Southwest’s network through connecting flights in Las Vegas, Oakland and Denver. “You can get anywhere you want to go on the same airline,” Deanna Zachrisson, airport development manager for Santa Barbara Airport, told the News-Press. “One of the biggest benefits is that you can get to Washington D.C. in one stop. You can fly to Vegas or Denver and get to D.C. after one stop. It’s just Please see southwest on A4
