New boutique on N Hemlock, the main street of shops in Cannon Beach, C&R Mercantile is filled with clothing for women, men and children. Mostly the casual, outdoorsy type of clothing one would expect in the PNW; lots of plaid, fleece, rain gear, sweatshirts, warm hats and gloves. But definitely a notch above mainstream chain stores. High quality materials, subtle stripes and plaids, hats with faux fur Pom-poms and tassels. Just adorable items!
As I entered the address and info into Yelp (as I'm the first to review) I realized that C&M Mercantile is part of RachelleM, a clothing store in Portland and also now in Cannon Beach. Everything now makes sense! The quality, the merchandising, the designs - similar but different. Actually, I prefer the Mercantile as the clothing doesn't have the heavy western/cowboy-girl influence like RachelleM. The style is more tailored to the PNW, not the Wild West!
In addition to clothing and outerwear, the Mercantile has a variety of throw blankets in different patterns, colors and materials. There are lotions, soaps, bath salts and candles. Books. Gear for your pets; mostly items for your dog like sweaters and jackets.
It's a fun store, one you must check out while at the beach and strolling the shops! They are located right next to the Ocean Spa. Prices are on the higher side as this is Cannon Beach after all! But the quality justifies it.
They are taking all Covid precautions by providing sanitizer, limiting number of people into the store and requiring masks. Those working there are helpful and friendly while also letting you browse at your leisure.
What a welcome addition to the Cannon Beach shops! Especially during a time when many favorites have gone out of business. read more
