Love this store! They have an amazing selection of clothes and jewelry. If you are a mermaid fan you will love this place! They also carry cute housewares and body care items like lotions and perfume. Great place to go if you need to get a gift for your mom or a girlfriend and they offer pretty gift wrapping. The staff here is friendly and helpful. The store is beautiful and it always smells really good. Great location.

Really think that the manager should come in more to see the staff and how they really interact with the customers. The dressing room was taking up by an employee who was trying on clothes for Instagram. She ran back and forth outside to have photos taken in zen clothes.
Needed to try something on so was kind of lingering waiting around and then once that was finally achieved decided to look at jewelry in between phone calls a different employee was on. The clothes employee makes a comment, «you’re still here?» «Wow you’ve been here a long time!» Yes… I had been there a long time. The zen girls are very young and don’t seem to have filters. I felt bad for spending 100 $ there. Why didn’t I just leave? The products are nice but overpriced. Oh well I have money, but probably should go where service is better.

The buyer here is absolutely spot on. The Acacia swim suits are gorgeous. Very good pics. Very extensive lines and the narrowed it down well. Love their lounge wear/​active/​date wear. They have it all. Tons of cute lingerie. Lots of shabby chic and beachy items to style your home. I love visiting every time I’m home.

Everything in Zen is so cute! I want everything. This is a great place to find cute, and unique gifts. I’ve bought a little bit of everything here… Jewelry, bathing suits, sweatshirts, candles, and champagne glasses. I love all of the heather brown art as well. The staff is always super friendly and greets you when you come in. Love the beachy feel :)

If you are a mermaid fanatic like myself, this is going to be the store of your dreams. Mermaids everywhere!!! Plus they have other cute items that are ocean themed. I didn’t get anything yet, but only because I plan to go back after I have more money. Just got married. I love having a reason to visit the coast and this place is one of them. Saw a pair of earrings, if they are still there next time I go, they are so mine.
The store is very light and beautiful inside. Loves it.

From candles to clothes to oyster shell bowls, this place is your go-​to for oceanside living. Except for the food, I don’t think you would need to visit any other provisionary. unless you were a dude I guess. If you’re just stopping by on your way through Santa Cruz, pick up a nice, flowy dress for the beach, or a sea-​scented candle, and bliss out even when you’re at home in the valley (that’s what I did!).

This is such a girl store. I love it! I want to buy everything in it. Whether your shopping for yourself or a friend, it’s definitely worth a stop. Clothes, jewelry, lotions, hats, and house decorating items. All with a beach them. I love the colors and designs they’ve selected. Fits people of many ages. I bought a awesome sweatshirt that is silky soft. And the color is this gorgeous teal blue. Such a fun store!

I was in need of a quick gift and ran into Zen Trading Company. The staff was very helpful and assisted me in picking out something special. They were patient with my questions and directed me where I wanted to be.
The atmosphere was awesome and relaxing. Definitely check this place out.

This is such a cute little store. Walking in, it feels inviting and it makes just want to spend a fair amount of time enjoying all the little things to discover.
There is a variety of items:
nick knacks — did I spell that right?
SC shirts (one cute one I bought)
ornaments (I got a mermaid one)
candles
bamboo
swords
candles
and well, a bunch of random stuff
The store is well laid out, very clean and cute. I loved browsing and just enjoying taking a stroll in SC. The cashier was also super friendly, attentive and happy to help.
Check it out! The prices are fair and it’s so cute to browse. You just don’t know what fun little find you might bump into. I’m thinking this is a good spot for gifts for sure.

This store is filled with lots of cute crap. You don’t NEED anything here. Trust me, you don’t NEED a rock with a cute saying on it to inspire you to live a better life, either you’re gonna get your life together and move out of your parents’ basement, or you’re not. The rock won’t help.
But I digress. Staff was a little bit behind the 8 ball. But it’s SC, I don’t expect fast, but I do expect friendly.

I love zen trading! I am surprised it doesn’t have any reviews so far!
I have bought so many things from this store. One of the first things I bought was a small fountain. They have a great selection of fountains small to big. It had glass ceramic bamboo design that had water coming out one end and poured into a little grey bowl. My cats loved to drink out of it. It got moldy often so I did have to clean it a lot. But I still have it.
I always buy candles when I am in here. They have some yummy smells. Lots of books and really cool note books. Perfect for a gift or even a journal for yourself. Some very cool jewelry too. I bought a really cool pair of peacock earings a few years ago. When I have a little money I want to buy one of their Buddha statues. This is one of my favorite «hippy» stores. Prefect if you want to Fung Shui your house or even just add a little zen. :)
