History

Bryan Lee was first established over 20 years ago in Santa Barbara California on the legendary "State street". The co founders were two young hip guys that wanted to offer both men and women a shopping environment that was not only edgy and tasteful but would be a memorable experience. That is exactly what Bryan Shepard and Lee Smith did. After much success at the Santa Barbara location they decided to open a second store in San Francisco at the very desirable "Union Street" shopping district. Since opening in 1995 Bryan Lee has been a must stop shop for Union street. Eventually Bryan took total ownership of the Santa Barbara store, and Lee the San Francisco store. Both business continued offering great styles and the highest quality customer service. After many years in the business both men decided to sell their shop to the next generation of ambitious clothing store owners.

The San Francisco store was purchased by Heather Martin as of January 2009. To find out more about the new owner please see our " meet the owner " page. The Santa Barbara store is now under the ownership of Jen, otherwise known as "Jen the babe".
