Peregrine Galleries
Since settling in Santa Barbara in 1971, Marlene has been a cornerstone of the local community. In 1983, she opened Peregrine on CVR, a boutique that would soon become a sanctuary for those seeking rare, timeless treasures. Marlene’s passion for travel—and for life itself—was nurtured over 47 years of marriage to her husband. Together, they explored the world, from the bustling souks of Morocco to the sun-soaked beaches of Acapulco, from the vibrant streets of Spain to the romantic allure of Paris, and beyond to the quiet corners of the U.S. These experiences deepened her understanding of beauty and design, sparking a lifelong love of collecting.
In her boutique nestled in the heart of Montecito, Marlene showcases the eclectic treasures she’s gathered over the years. Vintage Chanel, Hermes, Bakelite, and early Tosco pieces are among the many rare finds displayed with care and artistry. Her most treasured collection, however, is her partnership with Federico, a world-renowned silver artisan, with whom she hosted a one-man show and book signing at Peregrine.
Marlene’s discerning eye has earned her a devoted following, with celebrities from the worlds of music and film seeking out one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story. But perhaps her truest love lies in the plein air paintings from the 1930s and 40s that fill her boutique’s walls—a quiet nod to the timeless beauty that has shaped her life’s journey.
