Were it not for Santa Barbara’s landmark Arlington Theater just across the street, you may forget that DIANI Boutique isn’t in London, Paris, or Barcelona. When Caroline Diani opened her namesake boutique in 2002, her objective was to create a chic, casual European-style shop with edgy inventory—just like the clothes by designers like Jerome Dreyfuss, Mother Denim, and Lovely Bird that hang on the racks today. Diani, who was born in Kenya and raised in England, also owns DIANI Shoes. DIANI Living, a retail collaboration with her husband, opened in 2014 and stocks Bwindi bowls, Michanga baskets, Mali pow pillows, as well as assorted linens and serving platters.
