History
As a world traveler, one of my biggest passions has been discovering the colorful richness of other cultures. I opened Outback Trading Company to share treasures I have found, with a commitment to Fair Trade and ethical practices, featuring quality products made in the USA and abroad. I am grateful for the community of loyal customers we have grown. We have now developed meaningful opportunities for those who enjoy life here to help people on the other side of the world struggling to improve their lives: Congo Threads, creating products we sell at the shop, Ishara House, a safe home for at risk children there, and scholarships to improve lives through education. It's an honor to have created a retail business in the Santa Cruz mountains that has become an international crossroads for mutual reward.
Specialties
Unique colorful clothing, exquisite jewelry, accessories and gifts from around the world. Combine this with the perfect suggestive and excellent customer service, which we are proud of, and you will know why Outback Trading Company has been voted the community's favorite place to shop for over 20 years. We are home to Congo Threads, a sewing project employing and supporting disabled women survivors of civil war in the heart of Africa.
