Looking Sideways Vintage is a small, unique shop that feels like stepping into a different realm. Its decor is a gender-neutral, kitsch fantasy filled with a mix of vintage items, punk elements, and quirky decorations like clowns, plants, chains, and fake flowers. The store offers a wide variety of vintage clothing, accessories, tchotchkes, and housewares mostly from the 70s to 00s. Visitors can find leather boots, handmade jewelry, repurposed and bleached items, and many items from different vendors, including leather cuffs, chokers, earrings, pins, and plaques. The shop has a curated, eclectic vibe, appealing to true vintage lovers and those seeking unique finds. Despite its small size, it is highly recommended for its quality selection and friendly, knowledgeable owner. Often flying under the radar, it is considered a hidden gem in Portland, offering something for everyone across all eras. The shop’s charming, confusing, yet delightful atmosphere makes it a memorable destination for vintage enthusiasts.
