New shop featuring hats, caps, bags, headbands, scarves and visors for those who enjoy the active outdoor life. Or like to dress like they do! The bags, backpacks, wallets, messenger bags, pouches and caps come in fun, bright, unique color combinations. Orange & aqua; brown & fuchsia; yellow and turquoise; just to name a few. Also patterns that add interest to a solid background. I especially liked the pouches that are great on their own or can be used to contain items in a larger bag.
Lots of sun hats in different materials, both solid and open weaved styles. And of course lots of caps! Many with sun protection. The hats are on the wall, on the tables, with lots of bright light and space so you can easily see them and access them to try on.
When it's cool I like to wear a scarf when I'm out on my walks and they have lots in really pretty, modern patterns. Many infinity, some with fringe and tassels. Stripes, floral, geometric - something for everyone's style.
The owners live right in Hood River where Pistil was founded in 2003. They have a website with a lot more inventory but it's wonderful that they have opened a brick & mortar so you can see, touch and feel the fabrics, gauge the size of the bags, inspect the compartments and try on the hats. A definite must for me since I often have to wear children's hats so they fit!
Opening during the Pandemic has added challenges. Now that we can shop freely, without masks, do s shop right on Oak Street in the heart of Hood River. read more
