“Tony, Tony, Tony...A cat decided time to get a suit at 53. You know me; frugal, not an elitist, comfortable in a warehouse for men. The experience was authentic, a testament to your talent as a Couture. It pains me when I see the balance at the grocery checkout and disperse my dollars to a bag of groceries that no longer carry the weight of my purchase in dollars...Not the case at THOR, every dollar of the incredible garment created at your hands and by your seanless skill
echoed theough my mortal coil and reflected onto my persona. This was an investment in Mark, no match to the advisor in you exists for me. You are the Merrill Lynch, the gold standard...now make me 5'12 and I will tatoo your indelible mark on my forehead. Simply put...Bravo THOR!”
“Great service — professional, fast, and very reliable. The flowers were beautiful and everything was handled smoothly. I highly recommend reaching out to Nadia personally for the best experience”
“I’ve been shopping at sellwood union for about 4 years now. My entire closet is from this shop!! They have the coolest staff, and many different sections with different curated vibes (I’ve found my favorite sellers and sections over the years). Everyone asks me where I get my clothes from and it’s here ;) (+ ton of good eats nearby)”
“I stopped by with my daughter on Friday, July 3, 2026, just before closing. We were greeted by two of the nicest guys . They went out of their way to help us, were genuinely friendly, and provided exceptional customer service. A top-quality experience from start to finish.”
“Zoe is a fantastic shopkeeper and all around great person. Very kind and gave great advice on all my pieces. Nice to meet great people in cute boutiques like this around the Portland area! Will definitely be recommending to all my friends who are looking for unique pieces!”
“What a fabulous place to shop if you like really well made couture pieces. I am really particular about my wardrobe, and always find a one of a kind item to take home. I bought the cutest trench coat today- it looks very expensive - I’m so excited to .wear it! Beth the owner is a real doll. Complete people person- and she always remembers my name! Very charming little shop!”
“It isn't often you stumble upon a consignment store that makes shopping this fun. The colors & textures in this store bring so much life to the shopping experience. I walked away with four unique, new items I love! The help from Anya & Sammy was low-pressure and they were so kind. Will be back to consign some of my own items!”
“Great energy, beautiful crystals, amazing smells & the kindest owner. I always make sure I stop by and pickup a little something for myself whenever I’m in town ♡ support small businesses!!!”
“I love this place. Really cheap clothes. Owner/boss man is really good at his job. Spotted a T shirt I was going to buy was accidentally overpriced. Marked it down to 6 bucks. Not bad for a 100 percent cotton shirt. 2 dollar shoelaces. Nice ball caps. Dickies. Vans. I'll keep coming back when I need affordable essentials.”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop! The owner and her team are THE BEST. The are fun, friendly and bend over backwards to help you find something perfect for you. The shop is so clean, and light and welcoming. Low pressure and totally unassuming. Guaranteed you will ALWAYS find something you need (or don't!) to take home with you! Wide range of sizes, variety of stylish pieces. Just Go!”
“I love being a member here. You can trade in your wardrobe regularly. Some of my favorite clothing items are from here. I also get cute hand bags and accessories here, as well as fun household items.
Bag sales are open to the public and a great way to check it out before joining. You can pay monthly ongoing or jut pay the month's you want to shop.”
“Sue was very patient with me as I tried on many pairs of boots before honing in on the perfect pair. Definitely was worth coming to the store as opposed to getting something online, as my feet are different sizes. Very happy with my boots and the service! Also nice to get a handshake and a personalized experience which is hard to find in retail stores anymore.”
“Staff is super nice and welcoming! Helped us with choosing a present for my best friend.
It seems like the store is a colorful Hot Topic (in a good way). Small but good variety of anime (mostly Studio Ghibli) items. I would say 1/2 of the store is pop culture and disney things.
Pricing is alright.”
“They have a good selection of Birkenstock shoes and sandals (and many other great brands).
The staff is very friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions I asked. I'll gladly be heading back next time I need shoes!”
“Got helped by Two Gentlemen named Mason and Cody and a girl with red hair (dont remember her name). Eceryone was awesome. Great Style. Great Music. Vibes were up.”
“We cannot say enough great things about Dutchess! They helped my partner Lanie pick out and design her dream wedding suit. Lanie had never worn a suit before but wanted to feel amazing on our wedding day. They were welcoming and inclusive from the very first phone call. Thank you again!! <3”
“I am not a shopper girl. Never have been. May never be. I was introduced to The Difference years ago and it's perfect for me! My personal stylist, Babs, knows me, knows my size, knows what colors work best on me and my style preferences. I can just call her or walk in and tell her what I'm looking for and she will pull a collection of things for me to try on without having to spend an abudance of time browsing endless racks at other retailers for something to just pop out at me. It has become a treat for me to go there versus the chore it used to be to run around the mall for half a day. All of their pieces including clothing, shoes and accessories are thoughtfully purchased, are great quality at affordable prices, and they take the time show you how to mix and match the items you select. A true bonus for a woman who doesn't like to shop or keep up on the latest trends. I always feel so confident and chic when I go out in one of the outfits I purchase there. Do yourself a favor and go there. You won't regret it!”
“Have been going here for years & LOVE it! VERY well organized, super clean & the owner does a great job of only offering quality clothes. Nice mix of casual, athletic, jeans & shoes. Highly recommend.”
“I love the clothing at Tommy Bahama. My wait person simultaneously and very professionally handled a number of customers. She made sure that I had what I needed and wanted. She ordered pants I wanted, since the store did not have my size.”
“I really like going here and Thorn is very nice😊 But the store is very cramped and the changing room feels very open. Staff can make interesting comments but nothing wild. I enjoy all the clothes I get here”
“Great experience at this store due to the wonderful staff that work here. Great recommendations, helpful but not intrusive, great sense of humor and saved me a mess of money pointing out some great promotions! I’ll be back here for sure, recommend!”
“They actually have some really reasonable prices around here and I found some really good tops. They also have the fanciest dressing rooms I've ever been in ?. The staff is super helpful and friendly. They have some great sales going on so you should pop in and take a look.”
“The workers are super nice / kind I love going in here because they make me a 6 ft tall 350 lb man feel welcomed in they are so sweet kind caring and so amazing keep it up you’re all beautiful both inside and out thank you for making my experiences amazing like your customer service”
“This locally owned boutique is amazing! If I had a personal shopper she’d be the one 🥰 I never have to look anywhere else no matter what the occasion might be. My only clothing store for at least the last 5 years. Love, love, love me some Sublime.”
“I had an amazing experience with koas i believe was her name (i might have spelled it wrong im so sorry), she made me feel important and seen. Ill definitely be back”
“I’ve found some really cute pieces here! The prices are on the higher side, but if you wait a couple weeks, you can normally find things in the sale section. They also have a lot of fun community events!”
“Cute, affordable clothing that's on trend and accommodates many different clothing style preferences for us curvy girls. Usually has a pretty diverse and plentiful selection. Sometimes is a bit lean on size 0 & 1.”
“Shopping at Xtabay may be the most exquisite vintage shopping experience I've ever had (and I shop at a lot of vintage stores!). The store is breathtakingly beautiful and well-curated. I imagine this is what it would have been like shopping at fancy department stores back in their heyday. I'm not local, but I always stop into Xtabay when I visit Portland. Every boutique should aspire to be this exceptional!”
“Maria is super friendly! Very fashionable and inclusive of all body types. its clothes have gorgeous patterns and a relaxing vibe. You can also find athleisure style too!”
“If I could Marry a store it would be Mapel! Their clothes are always quality and so cute but it’s their personal touches that really make them amazing. Hand delivered orders, that always come with a special note and extra little gift of appreciation. Shopping at Mapel makes you feel good ❤️”
