Welcome to the Couture Pattern Museum, the only dedicated fashion museum on the Central Coast of California, located on the border of the Arts District in Santa Barbara. Nestled at 1525 State Street, we are an innovative, one-of-a-kind, intimate museum dedicated to preserving the history, craft, and untold stories of haute couture and Hollywood costume design. The Couture Pattern Museum is unlike anything else in the world. We house an extraordinary collection of rare couture patterns, original designs, and costume pieces from legendary designers who have shaped fashion history.
