Couture Pattern Museum

1525 State Street Ste 301, Penthouse Suite
Santa Barbara, CA

Nestled in Santa Barbara’s Arts District, the Couture Pattern Museum at 1525 State Street is a hidden gem for fashion lovers, culture seekers, and history buffs. This museum celebrates the Golden Age of Couture and the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age. With no other museum like it on earth, its mission is to preserve the art of haute couture and costume design for future generations by preserving haute couture patterns. The museum safeguards rare patterns dating back to 1921. Visitors can uncover the stories behind iconic historical designs and admire the craftsmanship of legendary designers.

Due to the museum’s intimate size, guests will explore a carefully curated rotating collection rather than the entire archive. Private guided tours are offered at $125 per person, by appointment only, providing a one-on-one and engaging experience. Each all-inclusive ticket delivers the full experience: a private tour, naming rights to a digitized pattern in the museum’s collection, tea and treats on the charming patio, and stunning views of the Arts District and Pacific Ocean.

Children under 18 from Santa Barbara County school systems are warmly welcomed to join at no additional cost with an accompanying adult, making it a wonderful outing for families.

For group bookings or inquiries, please call 805-303-4775.
