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 true of Garnish, since Erica makes most of the clothing herself. But it's the styling that really got me. I love to wear nice clothes that I feel great in, but I don't particularly like fashion for fashion's sake, and I'm not good at figuring out what works well together or even at selecting clothes that will work on me, so I tend to have a pretty monotonous wardrobe. I went to Garnish and had an afternoon of Erica's styling, and walked out with an armful of locally made, affordably priced clothes that looked fantastic on me and that are a change from my standard but that still feel like me. I don't live in Portland but plan on stopping at Garnish every time I'm in town!

A Retail Experience Worth Writing Home About (Especially Thanks to Ali!)…read more Every time I visit Portland, I make it a point to wander through the charming streets of the Northwest District, and no trip feels complete without a stop at Betsy & Iya, the boutique gem tucked next to Lei Brilla Coffee and just around the corner from the apartment I rent during my stays. It's more than just a boutique; It truly is a haven of design, warmth, and thoughtful curation. What truly elevates the experience, however, is Ali, the Store Manager and absolute heart of the space. As someone with over 15 years in retail management myself, I hold high expectations when it comes to customer experience, ambiance, and the quality of service and Ali certainly exceeds every single one of them. From our in-store conversation to her warm, personal email follow-ups, she has gone above and beyond--not just in product knowledge and service, but in genuine human connection. Ali even took the time to send me a direct vendor link when the shop didn't carry my size. Who does that anymore? Essentially, Ali seals the deal: her authenticity, enthusiasm, and eye for styling reflect the values of a brand that truly gets it. She's one of those rare retail professionals you never forget: sharp, kind, and full of local insight. Her outreach made me feel more like a friend than a customer, and that's something algorithms and online carts simply can't replicate. Whether you're a Portland local or a visitor falling for the city like I did, don't miss out on Betsy & Iya. It's a boutique that perfectly captures the spirit of Portland: creative, inclusive, and deeply personal. If you're lucky enough to chat with Ali while you're there, I guarantee the experience will linger long after your purchase. I can't wait to visit again! See you soon Ali and Team! Five stars aren't enough. --Edwin M.

Ok this is the best store ever! My sister, cousin and I stumbled into this store after a wedding…read moreweekend and we were so surprised how much we loved all the pieces! We all have individually different styles and tastes, but somehow the owner kept bringing us suggestions that were SPOT ON! I didn't know Natalie was the owner until later, but up until that point I was like "ok this person needs to be a professional stylist or something!" (Duh, she runs this store so she's doing exactly what she should be doing with her talent!) Natalie could pick up our cues and notice what styles we liked, and yet she would suggest certain new styles that I didn't even know I would like! My sister said she was literally going to cancel Stitch Fix and just ask Natalie what to buy! That's exactly what this experience is --- stitch fix but in person! I really appreciate that she even went to the back and gave us choices on items that weren't on the floor yet - it made us feel special! Plus she knew what was coming in style, which was nice to know because I really don't follow fashion. The pieces at this store are exactly my style: almost an Anthropologie vibe but more staple pieces and slightly preppy. Basically anyone can find something they like here! There are some simple pieces but hang really well on the body, no matter what size you are. I LOVE the fall/winter looks and I was tempted to buy sweaters and jackets even though it was 93 degrees out LOL! (Store is nicely air conditioned.) I also like the price range, which isn't insanely stupid expensive but quality pieces deserve the accurate pricing. (Ranging from 30-$120, not like $250+ like some LA boutique stores.) We liked so many pieces that we kept checking out with more and more items! I didn't even mean to stay for that long! Natalie- we still rave about you and your amazing customer service!! Thank you for a great shopping experience!
