Lovely store, helpful, kind employees, really beautifully curated items. I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner. My favorite place to shop (and sell)! read more

Favorite shopping place ever! The staff is always awesome and the goods speak for themselves! I can always find something -- for the house, clothes or shoes! I CAN NOT BELIEVE that people think it's expensive-- compared to buffalo exchange or house of vintage it's a STEAL. Everyone is very kind and helpful. The prices remain some of the lowest in pdx thrifting while being cute and on point. Learned about this spot 5 years ago and it's been my favorite for that long! Look for their special monthly $1 sales and community events! GO ARTIFACT! read more

I stopped in to Artifact on Small Business Saturday while taking part in Little Boxes. I browsed around for a while and enjoyed their vast amount of interesting things, but didn't find anything in terms of home goods or decor. I was impressed by their selection of shoes as well, especially boots, but again, didn't find anything during this visit. I then went on to look at the sweaters, as I really do need a few more. After only a minute I found a gorgeous Autumn Cashmere cardigan in like-new condition for only $22. I hurried over to the dressing room area and tried it on, looking to the mirror outside of the dressing rooms for feedback. (Since you have to call someone over to unlock a room, I really appreciate that they have an external mirror for quick try-ons). In the end, I walked out with the sweater for $17 thanks to a Chinook Book coupon. I had a good experience here and will be back next time I need new clothing and I'm in the area. After you're done finding treasures, head across the street to Pinolo for the best gelato in town! read more

Artifact is the best consignment/ antique store in town. There are gems every where in this store. Everything from boots, designer dresses from the 50's, lamp shades designed in the 70's, leather jackets, band shirts, boho floor pillows, bed frames, tables, jewelry, and so on. The staff is hit and miss in terms of being helpful, but who needs them when you can just wander around for hours on your own. read more

Blankets and furniture and art, oh my! Artifact is FULL of fun little things to decorate your place with, all of which are very reasonably priced. That bar cart you want to start? Mid-Century at Artificat for under $30. Want a well-preserved antique baroque-patterned sofa? It's at Artifact for just over $300. On a budget, but like fun, small things? Plentyyyyy of that. I purchased an antique 14 x 14 painting of a ship for $6. SIX DOLLARS, yo. Their clothing and accessories are equally fun as their housewares. Check this place out if you're an antique lover looking to furnish a new apt! read more

Artifact: Creative Recycle - Thanks, artifact. - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I go here every time I go to Portland. They have a great selection of rugs and vintage home decor and apparel. I don't like to pay a lot for this kind of stuff. Their prices are not steep. That's why I love this place! read more

Used to shop here all the time, like literally multiple times a week. But I won't be anymore... a friend got me a dress and a shirt there as a gift (which was given to me yesterday) and they don't fit. I called to see if they would take them back for store credit but apparently returns have to be made within 3 days because the items "might" be consignment. When I asked them if they could look and see if it was consignment or not they said they could, but even if it was something they had bought outright I still could not return it. Shopping at buffalo from now on and you should too. read more

Every time I go in here it is as if they think Im stealing. Im not, Im actually really interested in vintage clothes but cant hang around long enough to look because the cashiers make it very apparent that they think Im a thief. Like, I just want to shop and look around without feeling pressured. With the prices being much lower than other vintage stores you would think they could have a more light fun atmosphere. Maybe its me, but honestly no store should make a customer feel like something they are not. I like to shop to feel good not to feel like I don't have money to purchase their discounted items. read more

Love this store! Great selection of vintage home items and nice options for both simple + basic and fun + vintage clothing items. I love to come here and browse pretty often because they're always getting in new items. Love the vibes. read more

4 stars for garment curation and pricing, but I'm far less impressed with their housewares/furniture curation. Go here for the clothes not the tchotkes. They seem to mix in ikea with vintage finds, which I'm not personally a fan of. Garment pricing is decent, but be prepared to find a wadded up tissue in the jacket you're trying on. read more

love this place! have bought and sold clothes, and got a beautiful black vintage desk with gold accents for $60. probably my favorite vintage store in portland. read more

This place has the best prices I've seen for this type of store. I bought a couple items for my walls and a nice wool jacket all for less than $100. The employees are friendly, and it doesn't have that [ironic] pretentious vibe that a lot of these reclamation/antique/vintage stores have. This place is definitely worth a browse read more

Artifact: Creative Recycle - $32 clock - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

See all

This place has an array of amazing and beautiful things to buy. From clothes to furniture. I love the atmosphere here! I am always finding a treasure when I visit. I wish I lived closer so I could stop by more! read more

Love love LOVE this place. Get my clothes here, as well as gifts and furniture. The people who work here are awesome and basically this is the best "vintage" or second hand store in town. Prices are spot on too. They don't overcharge and I really hope it stays that way. read more

This place is rad. They have an awesome selection of furniture, home decor, jewelry, and clothing. Everything is also pretty darn cheap. I've sold clothes here a few times as well. They don't hand over a ton of money (everything is cheap, see above), but they take a lot of stuff that I think maybe Buffalo, or similar places, might pass on. read more

I love the Artifact! I just bought this Native American blanket, which I wish was just a little bit larger. I have also bought a dress, or something awhile back, but they have a great selection of home decor which spans from several continents. Cute jewelry as well. I would've definitely bought more items, such as rings, if they were my size. Come check out the Artifact on Division, and find something unique for your home or self! read more

I'm pretty sure the buyers suffer from fatphobia. Over the years I've consigned random clothing at Artifact, and one thing I've noticed since I've been consigning larger sizes is that they take nothing over a woman's size 12. I've brought in bags of clothes, that it's pretty safe to say are what's currently in style, size 14-16, and not once have they taken anything. I'm talking almost brand new coats, tops, pants. Not one thing has been taken. In years past when I was smaller and would bring things in, they would take almost everything. I guess the clothes aren't considered in style if they're for folks larger than a size 12. Just come out and say you don't take anything over a certain size. I do like the housewares section though. read more

This is my favorite shop in portland. Artifact has a perfectly curated collection of unique housewares, art, furniture, clothing, jewelry and shoes sold at prices that give the overpriced portland thrift stores a serious run for their money. In fact, this place has nearly replaced goodwill completely on my list of go-to places for unique goodies. There is no longer any reason to scrounge and dig for hours in a thrift store for one treasure when Artifact has an entire store full of treasures for the same price or LESS without all that work! read more

This place has so many treasures! Make sure you do at least three or four laps around the store. And look closely at everything! Most of the pricing is reasonable and the items are mostly in good shape. Just be sure to inspect them and know that you really want to keep it forever. They do not do exchanges or refunds. All sales are final and it won't be verbalized because there's a sign on the counter that you may or may not see. I bought a rug here and it ended up having quite a few more stains on it than I remembered in the store and now I'm stuck with it. I think I'll dye it or something. That's really my only complaint. The clothing is extremely affordable and kinda wacky! They're fun and the employees were friendly. read more

I use to LOVE this place. Unfortunately they have become much much more expensive in the last few months. I loved being able to run in and get a few good quality shirts for under $6 a piece, but that isn't a reality anymore. There prices are now about the same as a Buffalo Exchange. Along with the price increase, a lot of the more interesting and fun clothing items have stopped coming in. Just your average H&M and Forever 21 type things. The non-clothing items such as furniture and home decor are still really great! The staff here has also always been cool and friendly and beyond helpful. read more

Terrific store -- great vintage and used clothing, interesting artifacts and accessories, at fair prices. And friendly staff. Definitely recommend. read more

This is my favorite consignment shop in the city. They have really good taste and the store is full of items rich in color and texture.

Interesting store, they had a mix of new items and used items. I've seen Similar stores charge almost twice the price, so this place is pretty reasonably priced, and I like that they don't have to many items, it's not over crowded like some used stores. Found a cute used top for $6, can't really beat that. read more

I love coming to this place! It has a nice mix of clothing, furniture, rugs, blankets, and vintage decor. Definitely some gems in here. It's fun to browse, and I've scored many beautiful items here and have sold some stuff here too, and thought their compensation was very fair. The owner is also a super sweet lady, and I feel good supporting her business. read more

Hands down the best vintage/resale shop in PDX. Be careful, you'll want to spend your whole paycheck!

Artifact stands out as one the best consignment shops in Portland. If your items are accepted , you can get cash upfront or use the credit to purchase items in the shop. Pricier items are consigned the traditional way. I have been having the best time clearing my home of goods I am no longer enamored of ! The owner is a natural talent and has a great eye for choosing merchandise and a spot on ability to price things to move. She just knows. One week can pass and everything will be moved around, sold , replaced and redecorated. Eye candy and cheap prices! Impressive talent all around and lots of Good Karma. A+++++ read more

Terrible communication. I have a large beautiful antique buffet that we used as a credenza in our office to sell on consignment. It's gorgeous. We were moving offices, and it would not fit in the new office. Found Artifact on Yelp with glowing reviews. I called them and they explained their consignment commissions, said to email photos. Did that. Heard nothing. Called back, and they said just bring it on in and we would talk about setting the price. I said just bring it to the store? "Yes, just bring it on in." That was Thursday. We moved our office over the weekend. I hired movers to deliver the piece on Tuesday. I called Artifact to let them know it would be arriving and asked about setting the price. They said they need to see photos first. Told them I sent but would send again. She looked at photos and said it's more antique-y than is their style; suggested I call their sister store, Village Merchant. I explained I was already told to just bring it by. "Sorry," was what I was told today. Called Village Merchant, and they said they need 24 hours for manager approval. I explained the dilemma, and she said just a minute. I heard her discussing with a colleague my dilemma, and he said, "Yeah. I sent that to you." "I didn't get anything." "I messaged you on Facebook." "I didn't check my Facebook messages." Someone comes back on the phone, "Yeah, sorry, our policy is..." Meantime, I now am outside the window to cancel the movers. Had I been told all of this when I first emailed or when I called, I could have kept calling "antique-y" consignment shops. read more

I could spend 8 hours in here and never get bored. Amazing stuff from little trinkets to furniture pieces and area rugs, jewelry and clothes. Super friendly (and adorable) staff. Love it. read more

This place is awesome. They do a very good job selecting the merchandise and price it very low. I found a gorgeous sweater there for $8. They have a high turnover of inventory so you never know what you'll find....but I can assure you it will be cool and cheap. Friendly staff. read more

Everything in this place is beautiful. From the clothing, to the homewear, to the furniture, to the paintings, to the knickknacks, to the shoes, to the people who work here. Absolutely beautiful read more

Fantastically curated, great prices, unique finds. Come here all the time to see what's new!

Artifact may still be finding their footing but they are really becoming a new Portland staple. They have a great corner of true vintage and lots of other great items, including furniture; I've traded for my favorite lamps there. They even have oddities they will buy and sell, like skulls and natural science items, art, old and great jewelry that are decently priced. It's always fun to go in there. The service seems overwhelmed and understaffed often times, but they are nice so it makes up for any extra wait; mostly I feel bad for the staff sometimes when it gets really busy in there. All in all, well done, Artifact! Go here! read more

Great store! I always find one of a kind cool stuff.From clothing to home goods. Itisgreatandstaff is so nice too. Leah is great ,

OH my Gosh!!! This is my new Favorite store in Portland!!! I call it dangerously good in the way that you will always find a new treasure. The shop owner is Leah and she is such a sweetheart. Its so fun to Trade and SELL here.....Highley Recommended!!! read more

I LOVE this thrift store! There are so many interesting antiques, art and trinkets in addition to the amazing clothes. I love thrift shopping for clothes, and Artifact has such a great mix of different eras at cheap prices. (Just got a great blouse for $8 for example!) The more vintage an item is, the higher the price generally speaking - which makes perfect sense. Overall my favorite place on Division! :) read more

I saw the ad in the Mercury with a lovely woman modeling beautiful cloths and i had to stop in and check Artifact out:) The store is lovely, the set up is open and inviting and the selection is amazing! Im a size 12/14 and i found plenty of well made flattering pieces! Leah is a gem and this store is not to be missed! Yay ive found a place to shop for well made, reasonably priced garments and accessories!! Thank you! read more

One of my top five stores in Portland! I only wish it was in my neighborhood as I would frequent it weekly! The store owner, Leah is incredibly kind and you can tell has been doing this for a long time. The pieces she picks are well curated and she definitely prices right. I have found so many gems. My last trip I found a beautiful kaftan, a gold lion necklace, and a beach hat. There is always something to pick up. Last trip I found the most beautiful ottoman. The store is filled with things to either decorate your home or just get gussied up for the evening. I also love having this spot for trading in my old gems in order to support my habit of shopping there. Two HUGE thumbs up for this wonderful establishment! read more
