One of my favorite vintage stores in Portland sells a graphic tee featuring a motto I'd love to apply to my own life: "No New Clothes".
When it comes to leading a sustainable lifestyle, shopping second-hand should come first, as the cost of growing or making new material is much higher for the planet and our wallets than the cost of giving a new home to something that already exists.
While thrift shopping might be overwhelming for some of us, Portlanders are lucky enough to have a multitude of second-hand, vintage, and thrift stores to chose from. Many of them also have an online store or Instagram account, so you can even make your selection from the comfort of your home!
Here's a list of my favorite, second-hand, consignment, vintage & thrift stores for clothing, home goods & furniture in Portland, OR.
