Local Designers: ZEN TRADING

Zen Trading is a family owned retail shop located near the ocean in Pleasure Point.  

The sweet smell alone is enough to lure you inside.  

Inspiration is derived from the Hawaiian islands, the Santa Cruz lifestyle by the sea, 

beautiful Balinese artwork, and Asian culture.  Zen also carries a variety of yoga gear, 

casual clothing for men and women, traditional Japanese incense, bamboo and bonsai plants, 

fountains, the most beautiful jewelry, and the best variety of candles I've ever seen.  

After stepping inside Zen, you feel as if the world around you has slowed down.  

Located at 825 41st Avenue, come find your peace~ 

Lucky bamboo is a simple way to brighten up a space.

The two BEST candle companies are found here- Archipelago and Illume.  They also make reed diffusers, a flameless alternative that may just work better than a candle.

Sea inspired etched wine glasses- I bought a pair for my cousin's engagement party and she absolutely loved them!
