New shop featuring hats, caps, bags, headbands, scarves and visors for those who enjoy the active…read moreoutdoor life. Or like to dress like they do! The bags, backpacks, wallets, messenger bags, pouches and caps come in fun, bright, unique color combinations. Orange & aqua; brown & fuchsia; yellow and turquoise; just to name a few. Also patterns that add interest to a solid background. I especially liked the pouches that are great on their own or can be used to contain items in a larger bag. Lots of sun hats in different materials, both solid and open weaved styles. And of course lots of caps! Many with sun protection. The hats are on the wall, on the tables, with lots of bright light and space so you can easily see them and access them to try on. When it's cool I like to wear a scarf when I'm out on my walks and they have lots in really pretty, modern patterns. Many infinity, some with fringe and tassels. Stripes, floral, geometric - something for everyone's style. The owners live right in Hood River where Pistil was founded in 2003. They have a website with a lot more inventory but it's wonderful that they have opened a brick & mortar so you can see, touch and feel the fabrics, gauge the size of the bags, inspect the compartments and try on the hats. A definite must for me since I often have to wear children's hats so they fit! Opening during the Pandemic has added challenges. Now that we can shop freely, without masks, do s shop right on Oak Street in the heart of Hood River.

I fell in love with these hats at a local retailer and always said I had to find the store where…read morethe magic happened. No joke, one day I had a business lunch down the street and was looking for parking and found a spot right outside Flipside. I stopped in and fell even more in love. Kori was awesome and so kind. She showed me all different styles, and some new fabrics they just got and then she helped me customize my flower for a hat I had to have (loving my mustard colored flower)! I absolutely adore this store and the owners, and cannot wait to return. If you're looking for a fun, quality and totally comfortable hat (I don't get a headache with Flipside hats like I do with every other hat I've tried) you need to venture in and check it out!!!

Anything and…read moreeverything one can think of is here - old, new, books, toys, clothing, home decor, kitchen items, pantry items, candy, t-shirts, pictures, postcards, glass wear, baseball hats - the list goes on and on! It is kind of like a Goodwill store crammed into a tiny space with the addition of candy and pantry items. I guess it's like the name says, a Trading Post like back in the old days. Or a flea market, just inside a tiny store. For me it was a bit too random, made me dizzy to walk around and on this particular day, I just didn't have the patience. But for those who love browsing flea markets to find some random item that reminds them of their childhood or a fond memory, this is your place! Located inside next to Bettie's Place, a popular breakfast and lunch spot. The owner is friendly, has lots of suppliers that scour and source items. One never knows what will be added to the collection. I always wonder if anyone actually buys anything or enough things to keep a business like this, well, in business. I did notice a sign posted above the cash register stating the owner is seeking a new store to rent and will only be in this location a few more months (I was there July, 2021.)

All of the print has cracked, and I have worn the hoodie maybe ten times, and washed it inside out one time on cold and gentle. Let air dry just like all of my other puffy print hoodies which I have had for years and this is the only hoodie that the print has cracked on. Threads coming out of the sleeves, overall very poor quality. When I messaged them to see if they would just swap the hoodie out for another, they told me repeatedly that they don't accept any returns on washed or worn clothing. For a brand to not stand behind their products like that, is a one and done buy for me. I have had much smaller companies offer more for much less. 100 dollar hoodie and they offered me 15% back. Keep it, I will take my money to other reliable brands that care about their customer base.
