The family proprietors of this elegant shop are warm, lovely, helpful, and professional and know how to procure premium quality products from Turkish and Middle Eastern artisans. I bought a set of their linen towels a few months ago and am grateful every time I take a bath. My colleague mentioned that she purchased towels from Indigo Traders 20 years ago and they're still in great condition; only softer. I suppose I could cheap out and continue buying commercially sold towels from conglomerate box stores, but I know I'd pay way more for degraded, chlorinated cotton over 20 years if I skimped on delight. read more

Indigo Traders - Turkish linen towels from Indigo Traders that brighten my days. - Home Decor Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in today while we happened to be in this new (to us) area. The store is absolutely gorgeous and features stunning textiles, home goods, spices, and soaps. The owner was very friendly & suggested we try their olive oil + za'atar spice blend with some como bread from the bakery around the corner. That's my perfect kind of snack, so I did exactly that and am here to report back that it is in fact delicious! Very special to find these imported goods & I find food shared from all over the world to be the most special thing in life. Will be back for some gorgeous bedding when my kids aren't so young & we can have nice things last longer than a week lol. read more

They carry the Canaan olive oils that I crave, it's a miracle! I have NOT been able to find these in Beaverton, especially at these prices. I really liked their display of Palestinian cookbooks, spices, and oils. Prices are fair, and I'm happy to pay a little extra for goods that support a country in need. You have to check out this little gem read more

Excellent selection of Turkish bath towels, hand. Towels Wonderful quality colors and patterns read more

Lovely store filled with high quality textiles, kitchen, bed and bath items, and unique foods to stock your pantry. Even cookbooks focused on Turkish, Palestine and other Mediterranean cuisines; one dedicated to ripe figs. Plus scarves, wraps wallets and handbags. I'm in! There are so many Turkish towels it's mind blowing. I'm a big fan of Turkish towels because they are super absorbent, dry quickly, and fold up without bulk. I keep one in my gym bag because it's light. I use daily after my shower and wash several times a week. After 6 years it still looks brand new! Indigo Traders has solid towels in every color of the rainbow and every hue within a color palette. And an equal amount of striped towels. They come fringed, no fringe or with tassels. In every size: bath, hand, kitchen and even table cloths and napkins. Truly an amazing and vast collection displayed beautifully along the walls on shelves with easy visibility and access. In the kitchen area, the copper tea pots and coffee pots are beautiful and functional. I bought one several years ago while in Turkey and I keep it out on display all the time. Olive wood is all the rage these days, the grain in the wood creating patterns that make these pieces beautiful to look at while being functional. Indigo Traders has a varied assortment that includes charcuterie boards, ladles, salad bowls and serving tongs, small round dipping bowls, salt containers, cheese spreaders, mortal & pestals, serving dishes and more! These olive wood pieces speak to me! I have several; they add warmth to your kitchen and home. For the foodies - myself included - there are jars of honey, bottles of Moroccan olive oil, pomegranate syrup, rose water and seasonings. A selection of Turkish coffee and black tea. Lots of drinking glasses, ceramic bowls, cookbooks, and kitchen towels. The bed and bath selection is just as impressive with big chunky soaps, bath bombs and lotions. Provence Sante pure vegetable soaps in soft colors and scents. Bed linens and covers, baskets, colorful Turkish rugs and pillows. Don't forget to look up, the hanging mosaic lamps are exquisite! Service is friendly, they let you browse on your own while being available to answer any and all questions. There is no getting around it, everything is expensive. Some items feel excessively so. Yes, it's top quality, but I have many similar items and paid far less. One example is the olive wood serving spoons, ladles and salad tongs. The ladle was $65 and I paid $12 at another home store. Loved browsing the store and admiring everything. If the prices came down, I'd shop here regularly but for now, it's just for special occasions. read more

See all

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this store as we were headed to dinner. When I say everything is gorgeous, I mean everything is GORGEOUS. I was so in love that I forgot to take photos but I'll post the two kitchen hand towels that I purchased. All the textiles are stunning, high quality and simply classic and the hand feel is unforgettable. The price is not low (each towel was $25.00 each) but once you feel see and touch, it's worth the splurge. They have beautiful wood pieces (bowls, spoons, dipping bowls), towels of all sizes, throws/blankets, Turkish treats, the most amazing smelling soaps and even apparel. I need to remember to frequent this place when I need a hostess gift. They have pre-made gifts that anyone would love to receive. Samir, the gentleman that assisted us, even get us a little Turkish sweet to try. I love love love this store! read more

Indigo Traders - Hand towels - Home Decor Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Beware the harissa sold here. It's WAAAY too hot! There are better products sold elsewhere.

This store has a beautiful collection of home wares and clothing. You will find a wide variety of unique dishware, colorful robes and beautiful soap.. . The hanging lights are gorgeous as is the furniture. Whenever I am looking to buy a unique gift this is the first store I consider. During the holiday season exquisite glass ornaments are showcased in the windows. Love the owner and his wonderful staff , they are friendly, knowledgeable, but never pushy. read more

This shop has been around for quite some time, has a fun and interesting history, offers a nice selection of unique Mediterranean goods, and is incredibly visually appealing. The goods can be a bit on the pricey side but everything is high quality. What is so unappealing is that the owner/staff don't seem to get the local culture despite their many years in operation. They are on you like white on rice. There is no easy browsing or shopping in peace. They will follow you around and talk at you unsolicited, nonstop and it can be very uncomfortable at times. I keep trying to come back hoping things will improve. They moved into a larger space and I was pretty eager to check it out but left after only a few minutes when immediately the commentary and sales push started HARD the moment I walked in. Sigh... maybe I will just browse their website instead. read more

Great cotton towels, soaps and beautiful things ....i always find something great here - terrific gift ideas

If you are tired of musty smelling, always slightly damp towels (a constant in the PNW or the South) you NEED these linen towels. If you want to cut your carbon footprint by not using 45-50 minutes of dryer time, you NEED these towels. They are also incredible for travel (use as a towel, a sarong, a glamorous shawl)- they pack small, cover large, and dry quickly. The beautiful shop also has an amazing selection of olive oil soaps, household items, and edible goodies including a large selection of lokum (Turkish delight), and two delectable dipping/ finishing oils from the Palestinian territories that are the BEST I have ever tasted. The owner, Samir, and his staff are lovely and helpful. They also do mail order. read more

Wow! The colors, textures, and scents are a sensory gift when entering the shop. The hand made Turkish linens make you never want to touch another towel, blanket, or scarf again. The variety of dish ware, soaps, lotions, spices, teas, coffees etc. from other countries such as Turkey, Syria, Greece, are astoundingly beautiful and sumptuous. Samir who I assume is an owner and is one of the weavers is warm, engaged and attentive presence in the shop. He smiles all the way to his eyes, and has great pride and knowledge in/of the shop. Indigo Traders is an unique and delightful experience. Check it out! 2018 #20 read more

Beautiful store. We walked by on our way to a different store and really enjoyed looking at the selection of towels. The owner was very nice and helpful. read more

Indigo Traders has recently opened a branch in Hillsdale. It's right next to my Son's favourite hang out (Other Worlds), which gives me a chance to look around while he's having fun with his friends. Indigo Traders specializes in textiles, ceramics, and various sundries from all over the Mediterranean. This Store is larger than it's Multnomah Village Sister, but oddly has a more limited selection for what I was looking for. I know that because I visited both stores back-to-back during my most recent visit. I was also around when both Stores were offering 20% off everything. I almost pulled the trigger on a nice red and black scarf for Gayle, but was called off after calling her to check. My backups were the Turkish towels and a few gift ideas for when I return. read more

I live a few blocks from this store and having spent a portion of my life in Morocco and Peru, where textiles are cherished, was excited to see a store with familiar high quality goods. Upon entering, I was followed around by the owner who clearly thought I was going to take something. Having once managed a popular retail store in a busy downtown area in my 20s I know the difference of a store employee wanting to give customer assistance vs. a store employee who expects you to steal something. I will never step foot in that place and made to feel so uncomfortable again. When I bought my new home I was honestly upset to receive two towels from Indigo Traders from our Realtor. Good quality, yes. But not a business person worth supporting. read more

Love this place, the old location as well as new, down two blocks. I bought a beautiful rug on sale at the old location (still open and still sales). I also have their highly absorbent cotton flat weave Turkish towels. read more

Indigo Traders - The beautiful rug I got. - Home Decor Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This store is full of expensive, beautiful things for your home. Lots of olive wood items, copper kettles, Turkish towels, bowls, glasses, etc. There is a table full of chunky soaps, which I can never resist. There is no price tag, but I buy fancy soap all the time and didn't think to ask as I brought two bars up to the cash register. Turns out that the soaps are $28 each! I was shocked, but I don't mind helping out after a tough year. However I doubt I'll buy soap there again as there are a lot of more reasonable options. But I'll definitely go back if I need a special gift. read more

Nice products but very overpriced. Bath towels are $65.00ea. Hope this tries does well, but I suggested lowering some prices. read more

Indigo Traders - Fine textile store - Home Decor Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Another cool store we found in Portland! Very colorful store with lots of interesting items displayed. We got to taste some Turkish black tea and roamed the store. Very friendly and attentive staff who answered our questions and served the tea. A beautiful store! We purchased the tea and got a glass jar of their Turkish delights. read more

I can't say enough good things about Indigo Traders, and owner Samir! My mother had given me one of his beautiful olive wood salad bowls as a gift, and I decided to do the same for a friend's wedding. The Indigo Traders' bowls are exceptional in their quality, and I wasn't willing to buy one elsewhere. However, the size I preferred wasn't in. Samir went out of his way to find one, and within days is shipping it to my friend. I am blown away by the customer service, and know that I will stop at Indigo Traders' first, online or in person if possible, when buying gifts for myself and others. Thank you, Samir! read more

This is a beautiful store full of unique textiles and gifts. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It's true that some of the towels are more expensive than what you might find in a large chain store, but they are also artisan made and much higher quality than you might find in a big box store. I also love that the towels are so lightweight and take a lot less time/energy to dry. read more

We ordered online for a curbside pickup and it went smooth and well. This is our first time owning Turkish Towels. They seem great so far! I went in their store to look at everything before COVID happened and asked a lot of questions. The young woman working was really kind and helpful! I really recommend their store. read more

Great place to go gift shopping for friends, family, and yourself. So many colors of pestemal towels to choose from, took me forever to decide. The prices are high, but so is the quality. Cara was very helpful & patiently checked the stock for various colors. The sale room has great deals on towels and bedding right now, They also have a lovely room next door filled with gorgeous copper tea sets, brightly painted tagines, jars of preserved lemons and more. read more

Wife and I stumbled on them after a lazy breakfast at Fat City in Multnomah Village. They specialize in Mediterranean stuff and it comes from all over the world and each and every item has a story to it that reminds you the world is a small place and we are all connected. We first ended up in their towels, soaps and lines store (they have two right there in the village) and ended up getting schooled on soaps and towels (who knew such a thing existed) by a very educated and beautiful young lady. We bought a soap "sampler" for $15 and have not bought shampoo in months as we now use all of their olive oil based bars of soap. Of the five bars in the sample pack, each has a story and comes from a different place in the world. Then we learned all about towels...who knew...the towels were amazing as well, whole story to them, but ended up not buying one that day. They have another store, across the street that is more kitchenware, dishes, bedding, blankets, etc and it was here we met the owner (totally cool guy who made me a Turkish Coffee) and we bought some spices and wife and Mom bought some cool scarves. Flash forward two months to my 40th birthday and my Mom purchased me a new sample pack of soap and a "shower towel" for my present and by far, best gift in years! I love this towel, it is eco-friendly in so many ways and it is just one of those you have to use it to believe it kind of things. Bottom line, my new favorite store and yet another store that makes PDX one of the coolest towns on the planet. read more

Love this little shop. Snuggled in the quaint Multnomah Village, Indigo Traders is a trip. A trip away from Portland into another continent. The Facade of each little shop in Multnomah Village has their own design and color scheme. Indigo Traders' is my favorite. Bright Blue and Happy. The scent upon arrival is also my fave. Coffee and Soap. I'm all about smells. And these two scents are both relaxing and invigorating to me. They recently acquired the space next door to expand on. It provides a deeper space to stuff more items. My fave side is still the coffee side. The walls are covered in tiles and appears more foreign. The owner and all the shop employees are very kind and helpful. I always enjoy my visits. The owners travel to Turkey and Morocco for their wares. Which include soaps, lotions, artistic pottery, clothing, linens, towels, and TURKISH COFFEE!!!!!!!! Well, truthfully the coffee is locally grown, but internationally inspired. LOL. I like to take my time and poke around a bit. The shop owner or employees will make you a little cup of Turkish Coffee. So fun. I strongly recommend one should pop in just for a cup of it. read more

Loved, and I mean loved this store! Since I've moved to the Village I wanted to go in but for one reason or the other I haven't. So during First Friday I did. Oh My! All the soaps, lotions and the towels! Paradise! I want everything in there. I had to restraint myself from getting it all. read more

My home is filled with items from this store, but the atmosphere just seems to be a little less inviting lately. If you are looking for a unique gift, love having a personal shopper at your elbow, and have plenty of money to spend then Indigo Traders is your place. If you are looking for a leisurely, no-pressure shopping environment that caters to people of differing income levels, Indigo Traders is not the place to go. So about the no pressure thing: The sales staff hover much too closely, offering a stream of rave reviews about all the wonderful (but pricey) items. I know the towels are amazing, yes I have tried the olive oil soap, uh-huh the bowls are beautiful - you've had the same inventory in here for a long time and I just told you I come here often, but still you are following me around the store with the same pitch you gave last time I was here. Then actually purchasing my items resulted in an uncomfortable experience last time, which made me feel that the cashier was more concerned with making an extra dollar or two (I had a chinook book coupon) than having me leave happy. Apparently none of the gift baskets I picked out as ummmm gifts were valid . . . The savings would have been small to me, so that wasn't my issue, but last year when I went coupon Christmas shopping I bought the exact same items here. The store expanded (to another location across the street), and then went back to only having one location, so I hope that the newly awkward shopping environment lessens for shoppers as things settle back in at Indigo Traders, but I think I will try a few new places to finish out my holiday shopping this year. A bonus: perhaps my family will be pleased to not have the same soaps and towels this year. read more

My sister and I, after grabbing a quick snack at Baker & Spice, decided to visit this store. There was a sale going on and my interest was piqued by all the pretty scarves and dishes. The woman in the store was friendly and inviting telling us about the "evil eye" and the style of dishes. They have pretty linens and dishes, delightfully scented lotions and soaps, and some serious scarf selections. The sale made the reasonable prices just that much better. I was really glad that they also had a scarf selection for men. This shop is well organized and well kept by the people that work here. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This is my splurge spot, my place to go when I really want to get myself something nice. I'm slowly converting all of my towels to their Turkish Bath towels, they dry so quickly, they get softer every time you wash them (instead of stiffer and more scratchy every time like terrycloth), and they're compact and travel-able. The owner is very knowledgeable about his products, and has good recommendations to fit your needs (and your wants. The scarves and soaps are definitely wants for me). He even weaves some textiles in house, which is super cool. You get super local and fun imports from far away in the same spot! Super fun place to shop, complete with Turkish coffee, what more could you ask for? read more

This a fantastic business, bringing the lush Mediterranean traditions of home and bath to 'lil 'ole Portland. Going direct to a range of artisans in Turkey, North Africa and Palestine, the offerings are high quality and unique. Personally, I'm a fan of the linen bath towels... Definitely support this local business! read more

Interesting variety of mostly Moroccan imports: tagines, textiles, foodstuffs, soaps, and clothing. On my last trip to Indigo Traders one of the salesguys was a bit too persistent for my taste. I like to take my time when looking at things I might buy, and he kept coming over to tell me a bunch of stuff about everything I was looking at. I think he told me that almost everything I was considering was selling well, too. This became suspect after a while. I guess you can't blame the guy for trying, though. Both my friend and I walked out with bags in the end, and we like what we bought, but I might sneak a peek through the window before I go in again, just to avoid the aggressive salesguy. read more

The salesperson, Dan, was a total sweetheart. I came in 10 minutes before closing but was not rushed at all. He shared his enthusiasm for a couple items I was looking at but never tried to "sell" me. When I perused the gorgeous pashmina shawls on sale (75% off!), he offered to go look at their stock to find any particular color I might want that wasn't on the shelves. I walked out with 4 shawls, two lovely seaglass dishes and a cute carafe of recycled glass. Some of their items seem pricey, but if you believe in fair trade and sustainable wages, this store is a kindred spirit. Next time, I'm going to check out the Turkish towels! read more

What a beautiful store! I want to move in and try all the yummy soaps and towels and scrubs. There are two stores, across the street from each other, and I only allowed myself to explore the Bath store, as the products were too scrumptious and expensive to really indulge. I asked the owner/sales lady questions about the Turkish Bath Towel, the peshtamel, and she answered them without being pushy or condescending. The only problem I had with Indigo Bath was that there were too many colors and patterns of towels to choose from and I couldn't get one of each! So far, I love my new towel and Greek olive oil soap, and think I may have found a new addiction! read more

I cannot recommend this store enough. it has beautiful things and the owners and people who work there are wonderful. It's a great place to buy gifts. Everything is top notch. read more

Gorgeous textiles as well as amazing Turkish food - the spices are incredibly fresh and the olive oil is amazing. Highly recommend.

Beautiful selection of Turkish towels, that can be used for many other things than bath towels. I experienced the hovering salesman, which I admit made my experience less pleasant, and I bought less as a result. I just chalked it up to a cultural difference. I have been to Turkey and shopped there. That is how a shopkeeper in Turkey sells his goods, by constantly showing you more stuff that he wants you to buy. I would have bought more if he'd have left me alone for even five minutes. read more

A really great place to get unique gifts. Also, Turkish bath towels are every bit as awesome as they are made out to be. I pop in every so often to check out the clearance corner for xmas goodies. read more

My friend and I stumbled into this shop as we were walking around Multnomah Village and I fell in love! I live in the village but for whatever reason just hadn't gone in before. We were helped by a very kind, knowledgeable blonde employee whose name I didn't get, but she was so sweet and helpful! First off, they give you complimentary Turkish tea or coffee so that's a great start to the shopping experience. They have wonderful products that actually support talented textile artists and aren't made in abusive sweatshops. I am so happy to have found this place, their Turkish towels are amazing and very ethically sourced. I will be coming back again to this shop for sure :) read more

Very lovely shop, beautiful quality linens. Wonderful healthy soap and lotion options. The staff is exceeding friendly knowledge and willing to help. Worth stopping by to browse, shop, and enjoy a coffee or tea. read more

An exquisite store with beautiful and unusual goods. I found things for myself as well as for gifts. Only wish that I lived closer to Portland. I do plan to order holiday gifts by phone from them. Not do purchases help keep this special store in business, they also go towards supporting the weavers and craftspeople that Indigo Traders sources from. A feast of a store worthy of a visit. read more
