  “I know what our secret is,” said Jessica Cashman, owner of Jessica’s. “Longevity. Come this January we’ll have been open for 25 years. That and the good sources we have and a good system to rotate the clothes, with a back rack for marked-down items. We sell high-end clothes, nice-quality clothes, and Santa Barbara is the kind of place where you can mix your wardrobe--a nice outfit with a $1,200 bag that you paid $500 for. And I think people also like us because it’s nice here — easy with a fun atmosphere.”
