Mercantile & Haberdashery

A charming, fun shop, studio, and rental venue in the heart of Cayucos-by-the-Sea.
Join us Saturday mornings in May for “Craftea”…art-making and tea tasting workshop and shop our new curated retail collection of notions, craft supplies, vintage, handmade, and furnishings. Grand reopening May 24th!

Nestled halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles along the pristine San Luis Obispo County coastline, the seaside community of Cayucos offers idyllic scenery,
beach access, and open space to relax, reset, and play—at a slower pace. Drop in to shop our fun and charming mercantile and modern haberdashery or attend one of our classes, workshops, or retreats. Need space for your own art-making activities or group event? Inquire about our commercial venue rental in the Parlor Art Lounge.
