Warm and cozy ponchos and shawls; oversized sweaters; cardio, jackets; blouses; dresses; and pants. A little of everything! Pricing is very reasonable for the style and quality. A big supporter of women owned business, they offer scented candles, soothing lotions, goat's milk soaps in various scents; fashionable earrings and jewelry from both local and global artisans. I particularly loved the leather fringe earrings in various neutral colors. They also have a wonderful selection of unique handbags, many in tapestries and fabrics. Backpacks, totes and cross body available. Truly something for everyone on your gift list or for yourself! Whenever I'm in White Salmon, I visit this lovely shop.

Shortt Supply is a business to be avoided. This business changed ownership recently and it is not…read morewhat it once was; an owner that stood behind their products and valued their customers. Last August I purchased a $150 pair of Topo Athletic shoes from Shortt. The purchase and fitting experience were exemplary. I have worn them occasionally since then approximately once a week for exercise walking. Recently I noticed that both shoes were abrading a hole at the same location on the inside collar. A call to the manufacturer directed me to the dealer to resolve the problem. On my visit to Shortt I was directed to the manager. It was clear from our first interaction that Shortt would not make any effort to resolve the defect in the product. To add insult to injury, after confirming that the shoes had not been subject to excess wear, I was told that I was at fault in my manner of walking despite 70 years of not having a similar issue with any shoe. No relief was offered. While Shortt has a wealth of excellent apparel, shoes and accessories at premium prices, they clearly have no interest in standing behind their products or making any effort at customer service. This is a business that knows it can overcharge tourists who will never be around to seek a remedy for a faulty product. There are several other reputable shoe options in the Gorge and you should give them your business.

For a neighborhood store, its impressive the amount of inventory they have, both in terms of…read morevariety and options within each category. First time I shopped here years ago was because I needed a good pair of walking shoes with arch and heal support. Those working here know what they are doing. They don't just recommend shoes, they fit you for the pair that best meets your specific needs and fits you properly. For anyone who has suffers from foot or knee pain, you know how life changing a properly fitted pair of shoes can be! In addition to a robust shoe, sneaker, running shoe, hiking boot area, Shortt's has all of your camping needs covered. Tents, sleeping bags, outdoor cooking equipment, dehydrated food, small cook stoves and more. They carry every color and size Hydro Flask and totes and coolers, too. Jackets, rain gear, hats, caps, swimsuits, sunglasses, clothing, waterproof pants and tops, maps, books - they have it all. The only section that I wish was more robust is the swim section. I swim an hour a day and while they had a few swimsuits, goggles and swim caps, I was looking for a mesh bag to carry my swim fins, gloves and goggles. They had three TYR bags but they were super bright neon colors and I want something more subtle. This is a family run business and they are all about personal service and as a result, when the store is crowded it can be challenging to get assistance because those working there definitely give full attention to the person they are widening with. It's worth the trade off. Definitely recommend.

Been coming here for over 10 years and the prices are fair and everyone is so helpful.read more

It's hard to miss Margie's Pot Shop, since it has such prominent signage…read more I'd driven by a few times before finally getting a chance to stop by. Out of all the shops I've visited in the area so far, this one has the most selection, by far. They probably had like a hundred different carts under $20, and the ones that I purchased ended up being higher quality than the ones from the other shop I've been going to. I expected there to be sales tax since this was across the river, but it was included in the sticker prices. The pot shop is the smaller section of the building, with the larger section being Margie's Outdoor Store. While the names go together, they are separate businesses with separate entrances. Overall pretty decent experience for a budget pot shop.

I recently had my dress altered and upon picking it up did not look right. After bringing it home I found a few apparent issues 1.The hem was white and my dress is various colors of green and cream (it did not come close to the original hem color and significantly stood out). 2.The corset added was not properly finished and caused terrible bunching in the back. I was truly upset since this dress is for my brother's wedding next week in Asia. I decided to go back and voice my concerns around the quality. When I returned, I let her know that I was disappointed with the quality and was immediately met with a very defensive demeanor. She said that I was mean and does not like working with particular people. She also said there are more important things in this world than to be worried about the color of the hem. She also was very clear to say she spent 3 hours and was angry of my lack of appreciation. To be clear, I paid $120 - this was not a favor, this was a service that did not meet any level of quality. I understand she did spend time on it however, getting defensive versus asking or understanding how we can rectify was never part of the discussion . From a customer perspective, I was shocked at her attitude and inability to accept or acknowledge my general disappointment or the mistakes made. She focused on her time spent on my dress and how I was just too particular. She then continued to let me know that she will not provide any services to me in the future and I am not allowed in her shop again. To be fair, she did offer to fix the zipper but was clear she would do nothing else. To be honest, I did not want her to touch the dress after the interaction and was concerned she might make it worse. I do know how to sew however, I was looking for a professional to make the alterations to my dress. Unfortunately, I did not interact with a professional from both a business and alteration technician/seamstress perspective. With that said, I have spent much of my day re-hemming and correcting the issues associated with the corset she added. I truly believe it is important to support our community and am saddened with the outcome of this experience. I do not recommend and would rather go to Portland than have another encounter like this.

Plus, lots of neutral basics great for layering. Even a small sampling of gifts, clothing, handbags, and other fashion accessories. On my recent visit, I fell in love with their Valentine's Day loungewear, pun intended, which featured a two-piece set in a creamy tan with neutral hearts. Not the over the top pink & red that usually appears this time of the year. This is exactly why I love this store! They carefully select and curate items that are unique, beautiful, and comfortable and can be worn by anyone all year long. The owner and staff are helpful without being intrusive. Their window displays are great, and definitely do what is intended, which is lure me into this charming little boutique!

While this boutique is located in downtown Hood River, the exquisite collection of thoughtfully curated goods would fit in any cosmopolitan city boutique. I wish this shop was located in Portland, not that Portland is cosmopolitan, but it's where I live! The lushious handbags, many from designers in LA or NY, get me every single time. My preference is always for nice leather bags with a simple but very unique design, without designer names and logos distracting from the quality design and material. At Plenty, there are plenty that fit this description. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun! On my recent visit I saw, and immediately purchased, a python clutch in an ombré design of orange, black, mustard and turquoise. Trust me, it's way more beautiful than it sounds! It's a standout piece that goes with and elevates any outfit. The clothing is made from high quality fabrics and very well-made. Mostly in solid shades of neutrals that work in everyone's wardrobe, with patterns and pops of seasonal color mixed in. Jeans, sweaters, jackets, shawls, capes, blouses, dresses - yes, yes, yes and yes. Casual or evening. Lunch with the girls or date night. Something for every occasion. There is always a unique collection of jewelry, shoes, and a selection of beauty products near the back. The staff is very friendly and attentive. If you are the type that needs a sales person's help to pull together an outfit, then this is your place. My preference is to browse on my own and seek assistance when I have questions and they seem to be able to discern the different needs. The items are high quality so the prices reflect that. But since there is such a variety of items, there truly is something for most anyone.

Make sure to check out the jewelry, always a small but nice selection of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Many from local or Portland designers. There is always a collection of handbags with a great variety of Hobo bags of various styles and colors. Hobo bags are the best for traveling; they have lots of compartments and are designed well.

Perhaps they had men's clothes at one point in time and they phased it out. Some stores do that. Or sometimes I bookmark businesses and the reason why I did that gets forgotten. But aside from that the merchandise is very nice and good shop situated in downtown Hood River. The clothing has kind of western style spin to it but in a classy, socializing way as opposed to western wear that is also work wear. Everyone that worked here was very nice and they had some very nice blankets that they had here for sale so that is also something to consider while out and about downtown.

At Ruddy Duck, I have found and purchased unique handmade earrings, which is my style. I like wearing jewelry that no one else is wearing! On my last visit I found a great black and white boho maxi skirt that transcends all seasons. Especially like that the dressing room has the most spectacular view of the river! Great shop on my "route" whenever I am in the area.
