Clacton
and Frinton clothing, designed by Michael and Hilary Anderson, has
been made in Los Angeles since 1980. All garments are cut in small quantities.
These are not mass produced items. Many years of pattern cutting expertise create
an excellent and distinctive fit. Everything is made to very high standards. Clacton
and Frinton clothing is a favorite of Hollywood costume designers and has been
seen in many feature films. You can feel confident when buying Clacton and Frinton. You are buying non-faddish yet fashionable clothing, backed-up by years of experience. | |||||||||||||||

Your store of stores is in heavenly Santa Barbara, only one mile from the beach - if you don't mind walking across a busy freeway and the railroad tracks. Otherwise it's about a mile and a half.
Taka-Puna is very different from other stores. It is colorful, original, eclectic and fun to visit. Ask anyone! O.K., not anyone, someone who has actually been there.
You'll find espresso, lumber, auto parts, wet suits and authentic Mexican food - but not in our store. (They are nearby). In our store you'll find stylish, affordable clothing for men and women, (tons more stuff than you can see in cyberspace), plus stylish affordable gifts.
The mix is always changing and there is always something new. What are you waiting for? Get in your car and drive to Santa Barbara. But call first to make sure you'll arrive when we are open. | ||||||||||||||||
