It's really interesting to see how a place can be remade from a wide-open, large and airy space…read morethat was former resident's style (BCBG) to the rather warm, cozy and compartmental arrangement that is the look of the new resident Tory Burch. This boutique is just filled with pricey lovelies from floor to ceiling. I am particularly in love with the Lola Metallic Top: a gorgeous short sleeve silk tunic with sparkly embellishment around the neck. Priced at a mere $395.00, I am fairly certain this will never hang in my closet. Whether I am going to buy something in here that costs as much as my mortgage is beside the point. There are pretty things in here and I like looking at pretty things. Get used to my visits.

I'm super bummed. I was in Portland in fall 2019. My wife had made mention of a specific bag she…read morewanted, so I popped in a picked it up. Super quick transaction because I walked in the door and knew the bag and color I wanted. I was in the shop 15 minutes, max. And that part was GREAT! Fast forward 15 months later. The bag - used daily - has a strap pop. My wife contacts Tori Burch online, who directs her to call the location. So I call, asking about guidance for a warranty and/or repair. It honestly took days before I could get a human on the line. One morning I called before the store was open and a frustrated woman wanted to know why I'd called 3 times in a row - sorry your voicemail doesn't work. She promised to call back, never did. Finally - today - I remember to call after 2pm eastern time as to not interrupt pre-opening hours, and the woman I spoke to this time kept cutting me off to tell me the warranty is only "one year!" and find someone locally because that would be "way cheaper than sending to Tori Burch in New York for repair." Wow. Not that it's a priceless possession or a massive investment, but a Tori Burch was several hundred bucks and lasted about 15 months. The website apparently doesn't affiliate with brick & mortar stores, and the employees that will finally answer a phone find no value or concern in the products they sell. Definitely not high quality if the strap broke in 15 months. Absolutely zero of the bags I've ever bought my wife, from Kate Spade to Louis Vuitton have every busted a strap.

I. LOVE. PORTLAND. GEAR. THE END…read more Ha ha ha. No but really. I do. I started wearing and buying Portland Gear many many years ago. I didn't even realize they had a store until we were at a Thorns game and walked past it! Needless to say, I have quite a wardrobe from there. I was originally obsessed with the P hats because they were plain, yet epic and cool. Classic. But most weren't VEGAN!! I can't do wool, never have been able to because I ITCH!!! But then they have brought so many great hats that are NOT wool and so gorgeous and well, I look GOOD in hats. Beanies and baseball hats. Bring it. I have SO many Portland Gear hats. I think I've got 4 beanies and 7 or 8 baseball hats. I have one zip UP hoodie, three over the head hoodies lol and two tshirts. And I DO have the cream colored backpack for my work stuff. I LOVE this bag. I had gotten it for my daughter back in June 2024 as a birthday gift because she needed a sturdy backpack for middle school where she has NO locker lol The other thing I'm totally obsessed with is their Portland Stag and Portland Sign..I have both and man they're gorgeous. I had issues with the plug/remote with both and went into the store and it was taken care of in minutes at no cost to me!! Customer Service, selection and value are all tops. I LOVE my Portland Gear!

Ethan was super helpful and walked me through many different products Portland Gear had to offer. His attentiveness and product knowledge really impressed me. This is the second item I've purchased with Portland Gear, but I will definitely be a repeat customer and I plan to recommend this company to all my friends and family. Ethan, is an asset to this organization and I hope his bosses sees this review because this employee deserves the recognition!!!

A fabulous boutique like one you would find in NYC or San Francisco, not typically in Portland…read more The clothing and accessories are carefully curated, bringing together a refined collection of high quality items in shades of black, cream, gray, camel and white. The prices are in the high side, especially for Portland, but a cashmere cardigan for $400 is the going rate. The boutique is bright, clean and has an industrial vibe. It's easy to browse through the racks of clothing which line the parameter on racks in a color coordinated fashion. The cashmere dresses are scrumptious! Beautiful in color, texture and style; refined elegance, classic, timeless. Even cashmere loungewear, perfect for staying comfy and warm during these long days spent at home. Kayla, the young woman working that day, was super helpful and pleasant. She easily engages in conversation and provides assistance, if that is your mode of shopping. And also gives one the freedom to browse at their leisure with no pressure to purchase, which is my preference. We visited on MLK Day and were there specifically to see what Oliveve handbags were available since I had recently come across this brand while shopping at the House of Lolo in Palm Desert. Kayla immediately recognized my Jasper bag! The Oliveve bags have a modern design, clean lines, and my bag is made of neutral colored pebbled leather. It's the perfect bag to use while shopping as it is a cross body style yet as large as a tote and holds a lot. That day there was only one Olivevebag available, a black handbag with tan wrapped handles, and my friend immediately claimed it! I'll have to go online (Oliveve.com) to buy my next one, the black oiled Italian leather Eva bag, which I've had my eye on for a few months. In addition to the clothing, they have a small selection of unique jewelry and other accessories like boots, tassels to add to your handbags, hats, belts and scarves. Even a small but unique selection of home decor items like textured throws, pillows, candles, woven baskets and trays, perfume and vases.p to adorn your home. Located on NW 11th in The Pearl District, it's around the corner from the main shopping area so unless you know it's there, you may not stumble upon it. It's worth seeking out if you want to add quality clothing to your wardrobe that you can wear season after season. And while you are there, definitely check out the jewelry, boots and the Oliveve handbags!

You know you are in the Pearl District when you step into a spacious shop with little and very…read moreexpensive inventory. There really is not that much to choose from as the theme here is obviously minimalist. The few things they do have are lovely and for me, priced completely unreasonably. Like I am going to spend almost $1000 on a wool trench coat with some leather trim? Sure, it's a sharp looking coat. But good God, I know we are in the Pearl but is anyone going to spend that much? Maybe I am just not hip with the times and people really do spend that kind of money on a random coat, if so, I beg your pardon. It would be cool if your shop had goods that "normal" people like me, I know I am throwing the term normal around quite loosely but folks probably get my gist. My budget for a really nice and very unique coat is more like $500.00 Unless you are selling Versace or something, consider rethinking your price points. It's just that I see so many shops like this come and go because nobody is going to really shop there. 2015 - Review # 98

Not my everyday clothing store, but when I want an outfit for a special occasion, this is where I…read moreshop. The clothing selection is quite vast with a variety of styles that match the diversity that makes up a women's body. There is no one style or shape that flatters every figure so I appreciate that the clothes they curate represent a diversity in both shapes and sizes. The level of personal service is superb. While I shop here for special occasions, a friend of mine shops here frequently and often I go with her to provide the critical eye. She knows that I will be honest because I want her to look her absolute best. We always work with Sarah who is absolutely delightful. She knows my friend's preferred style and always has a rack of clothes waiting for her to try on. It often includes pieces that are out of her comfort zone and surprisingly, some of them work. Which is why it's important to give new things a try, whether that's clothing, food, places, sports - anything! The Mercantile carries a diverse selection of jeans - not just super skinny - and lots of beautiful cashmere wraps and sweaters. They always stock Herno down coats which truly are the best in terms of warmth and style. Silk blouses, supportive leggings, fashionable jackets, classic sheath dresses, flowing tunics and capris in the summer plus accessories. Hats, scarves, belts, handbags and wallets. Plus beautiful jewelry, most sourced from local artists and artists known on a national level. The boutique is large, well organized, with plenty of room to see everything. Make sure to take a few laps around so you don't miss anything! Located downtown the Mercantile is one of the few high end women's clothing stores remaining and I hope they are here for years to come. I do find it interesting to see so many one star reviews as I have been here dozens of times and have received nothing less than exemplary customer service. Shout out to Sarah for being the best personal shopper and always helping us find the perfect pieces of clothing to add to our wardrobe!
