Shop Vintage Portland

*Welcome to Shop Vintage Portland*

Shop Vintage Portland is an unprecedented guide to all the vintage things that Portland has to offer. Every week I post about local vintage events, sales and promotions that are going on around town. I have visited and reviewed over 100 Vintage Businesses in the Portland area. You will find them categorized, in the side column on the right, by area of town as well as type of item that the businesses sell or the service that they offer.
*I am compiling an emailing list to send out a Shop Vintage Portland newsletter. Please leave a comment on this post or email me and I will add you to the newsletter list. Thanks!

Guess Who...

It's Lulu. I've come to tell you that it's Shop Vintage Portland's 2nd Anniversary (well actually, like a naughty neglectant spouse I forgot my anniversary, it was actually on Wednesday the 27th)!

I hope that over the past two years you have found my blog to be helpful in locating vintage stores and events around Portland.

This year I am going to continue to cover new vintage stores and businesses, and I'll keep the Friday "Vintage Portland Out & About" posts coming.

Two Days Left of Lulu's Vintage Pop-Up Shop

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is the last day of my Lulu's Vintage Pop-Up Shop located at 23 N.W. 4th Ave. just inside of the Chinatown gates. Hours are 11-7 and 10% of all sales go to DoveLewis!

Hurry on down and pay me and my store a visit.

Shopping Craftily, West Coast Style

Last weekend Chris and I shopped the Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Holiday Sale. We found lots of fun stuff to give as gifts and some cute things to keep for ourselves ;) It's great to be able to support local arts and crafts dealers. For some of the items that I got I traded my vintage for handmade items from my friends.

You should check out these talented people's stuff. If you are thinking of buying stuff from them to give as Christmas gifts you should hurry and do it soon. A lot of them stop sending stuff out on Monday. If you miss their shipping deadline you should keep their merchandise in mind for future gift giving opportunities...

We stocked up on super cute and silly cards at Cake Spy...

I love Crafty Folk's cute pins...

Electikid has baby to adult sized t-shirts with fun graphics...

This is the second year that we have bought a desk calender for ourselves at Ilee Papers. This year we also bought a selection of everyday and special occasion cards from her. They're the perfect cards to have on hand...

I like the illustrations of the Little Otsu line...

For the past three years we've been buying our Christmas cards from Old School Stationers...

 

Red Bat Press calenders are a yearly purchase for us...

 

Sayuri of Shamui makes the cutest felted pickles and tofu with edamame arms..

 

Vintage Roadside has the perfect t-shirt for the vintage conniseur in your life...

Lulu's Vintage Top 10 Reasons To Give Vintage Gifts This Holiday Season

10- It is the ultimate eco-gift! No landfill packaging. No new use of resources or labor.

9- Craftsmanship. Vintage items were made out of high quality materials and feature unique design details.

8- History. You are buying an item that has proved to be fashionable throughout history.

7- History (part 2). It is fun to own something vintage and think of how a person from a whole other generation appreciated it as well.

6- Uniqueness. No chance of hitting the streets with a new scarf only to see three other people with the same one!

5- Supporting a small business. Instead of lining the pockets of big box stores, you can support an independent business owner.

4- Authenticity. Why buy rip-offs of old designs, when you can get the original.

3- Authenticity (part 2). Why buy something that has been "distressed" to look old when you can get something that has genuine patina.

2- Save some cash. Vintage items are often times much less expensive than new.

1- Don't participate in the mad rush to the mall. Vintage is easy to find off the beaten path.

***Lulu's Vintage.com has set up a vintage pop-up shop with Men’s and Women’s vintage clothing and accessories for sale. 10% of all sales generated from the pop-up shop will be donated to DoveLewis.

Instead of hitting the mall looking for something to wear to that holiday party or to buy as a gift, why not support a small local vintage business and help DoveLewis all at the same time!

The sale features Women’s vintage blouses, sweaters, skirts, pants, dresses, lingerie, suits, jackets and coats; Women’s vintage jewelry, purses, hats, gloves, scarves, and shoes; Men’s vintage shirts, sweaters, pants, jackets, and coats; Men’s vintage hats, ties and scarves; vintage aprons and fabric; vintage art, design and fashion books; vintage posters and house wares.
