En-sem-ble´
A set of clothes to harmonize when worn together.
A group viewed as a whole rather than individually.
What began as one gal’s determination to assist with immediate daily basics grew into a sanctuary for those displaced. For anyone who were served, volunteered or collected for loved ones at Ensemble, we’re sure you will agree that the unique collection of designer clothing for all ages, high-end skincare, and white glove service tucked away in the Victoria Court was an oasis from a dark reality.
Nikki Vyn’s wish to contribute to those affected could never have crystallized into the “little pop-up that could,” without the outpouring of support from the biggest little community on Earth. This temporary boutique made an enormous impact on those displaced or greatly affected by the Thomas disaster.
But now, after serving for six weeks, the sun must set on Ensemble.
None of this good work would have been possible without the devotion of time, talents and material gifts from our partnering vendors and volunteers, (please see below for what we HOPE is a comprehensive list of the many names we were able to capture).
Every act of kindness needs to be acknowledged, our sincerest apologies to anyone left out. Should you find a name that was not mentioned, please let us know.
Thank you again. It was truly an honor to serve our neighbors and friends in a time of need.
Your Ensemble crew, Nikki Vyn, Kimberly Vyn, Sheila Caldwell & Shelley Schulte, thank you.

Our Ensemble´Pop-Up Shop is dedicated to helping displaced persons from the Montecito Mudslide and Thomas Fire find clothes to wear during this difficult period.
Local vendors and wonderful community neighbors have donated NEW apparel to our little boutique. Displaced persons can come in and “shop” for what they need at no charge.
We are not accepting additional clothing donations at this time, but please watch this space as we will update when needed.
The great peeps at Impact Hub have graciously agreed to umbrella us under their B corp status.
Our “employees” are all community volunteers.
