Starry Eyes is a small, carefully arranged children's clothing shop on Washington Ave. They sell…read moreboth new and consignment. I usually find that the appeal of a consignment store really rests in the eye of the buyer. With that said, Starry Eye's consignment collection is small yet particularly selected with a great many beautiful, quality items at reasonable prices. I should also mention that in addition to clothing, they have a great selection of shoes and even some quality toys and puzzles! I have purchased many gifts there for friends having babies and always get a "where did you get this?" when bringing a gift from Starry Eyes. Tip: The store does not necessarily wrap gifts, but they have adorable bags and tissue paper and are usually happy to fix something up for gift giving. Tip: They do have odd hours, so call ahead!

I frequent Little often. I have always enjoyed shopping here because of the vast selection of high…read morequality items, and friendly young staff. It is typically one of my go to places to shop. However I do not think I'll be shopping here much longer. I had stopped by to grab a gift the other day and was helped by an older woman I did not recognize. Like I mentioned previously, the staff here is always very friendly and helpful. This woman was not. A minute into asking for her assistance I was disappointed to discover she was down right bossy and pushy, I could tell she was only focused on making the sale and not actually helping me. And when I tried to wave off the help and shop for myself, she lingered and closely watched me shop while chatting my ear off about her children. I'm a mother, god knows I talk about my kids any chance I get-but this just felt excessive and almost manipulative. Eventually the other younger lady happened to pop into the back room and was swift in saving me from the uncomfortable situation. She was very helpful and actually listened to me. On my way out I had also asked her about the lady I had encountered previously and learned that she apparently is the new manager. Needless to say, if that is how this store is going to be run from now on I feel bad for both the staff and customers. I don't think I will be shopping here for much longer. Such a shame since everything is so lovely.

Me and my wife stopped in here randomly to browse, and it ended up being a great spot for grabbing…read morea gift for our little niece. Despite coming to Portland for many years, this spot never caught our eye. My wife is a big fan of stuffies and animal related items in general. I will say that in my opinion the prices here do seem high, but it does appear to be more of custom/smaller created items. I could be incorrect though as I noticed other reviews mention finding similar items cheaper. We did find a perfect gift of a stitched elephant for our niece that we know she will love. The high prices and lack of much enthusiasm and greeting from the workers is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Might be more of a spot to browse than actually purchase from but nonetheless check it out.

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!

Wool blankets, socks, books, vintage glassware and cutlery to name a few. A small section in the back of baby items are a must stop if you need a unique baby gift.

My granddaughter sat on the edge of a cube beside me she's 4, the women Sara staff membe came over yelling at her not to sit there that she might mess up what she "folded". Mean while you had four people standing around doing nothing with the exceprion of one young lady. I spend a lot of $$$ annually in Athleta all over the country as I travel with my job, my experience in other Athleta stores nothing like this! Lazy, disrespectful staff, corporate should send a swat team in and clean it up.... Also have the manager dress like she's working instead of just rolling out of bed. Had I not had two little girls 4 and 6 with me I would have left everything but two little girls waiting for the items they picked out.. Shame on you

Incredible and organized selection with so many TOP notch finds…read more Also, FINALLY a vintage store that is organized by size. I can't even begin to name how many pieces at other (non size organized) stores that I've fallen in love with and realized would not fit me. As a final thing that's sent this into 5 stars- it has been a long time since I've been to a vintage shop with such a high level of size inclusivity. As someone who has fluctuated in size throughout the years (yet my love of vintage remains), being able to shop in the xl - plus range was an absolute dream. If I lived in the area, I would be there on a biweekly basis because I just know I would keep finding incredible things.

They had a few little odds and ends, a couple of Richard Simmons tapes and whatnot, but they were more decor than offerings. I did peruse around, though I am not much of a clothes shopper. I will say, they were pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Most of the clientele were young people getting into thrifting. Respect. Everything was organized well and it was clean. The racks were all well kept. Being from Texas, I have no need for their coats or any of their warmer clothing, which they had a lot of. I was impressed that they had some vintage designer bags available. I know that is a big business right now. I think what they are doing, they are doing well. I am just not their demographic.
