Well, back to Portland for today. I’m bit disappointed that I didn’t do a little more nosing around for great shops there until it was too late to visit them. Anyways, I posted a link to Una on the McTega post, but it really deserves its own separate post.

I spaced the fact that Una is in Portland while I was there until Ashley at Frances May mentioned it, and I spotted it in a slightly older edition of the eat.shop. guide for Portland that our neighbors kindly lent us. Unfortunately, they close at 6pm on Friday night and it was already quarter after 5 when I checked the hours to see if we could make it. Sad, but it gives me a placed to visit the next time we’re there!

Anyways, it’ll come as no surprise that I like Una because owner, Giovanna, stocks lots of independents and even some very talented local designers. While there is no real webshop to speak of, they do have a blog where you can see their current items and call or email to purchase. The items are nicely photographed and everything they carry feels so cohesive-great editing! They have a fantastic inventory of accessories.
