I am so glad I did a little looking and learned about this children's store in Portland. And then…read moremade the trip up from Eugene with mom and baby in tow instead of talking myself out of it! The woman who was at the store--the owner, I think, based on our conversation--was friendly and super helpful. She knows her merchandise inside and out. She carries clothing here that I've never seen before at the children's stores I usually visit in the Chicago area (I've already told the owner of one of them that she needs to look into these brands!). I really appreciated that she explained the sizing system since I was a bit perplexed at first (maybe she saw my confusion)--since some are brands based in other countries, they're sized by centimeter but the American sizing equivalent is on the back of the tag (though can we talk about that cm/in sizing system for a moment, because it would make my life infinitely easier when trying to buy kid clothes....) Almost the moment I walked into the shop I zeroed in on this adooooorable pantsuit for my daughter, and a darling dress. I'm buying a little larger for her since she's a high percentile child and I'm looking forward to seeing her in these when she's big enough to wear them. They also sell local goods--I bought a Portland-themed t-shirt for the babe. I asked about a local shoe company I'd heard of that listed BW as a retailer and though they don't carry that brand any longer, she showed me a different local brand they carry called Ozznek (which has super cool shoes with removable soles!!) and I bought two pair for my little. This lovely little store was worth the visit; I will definitely return and I'm keeping an eye on their socials. I think they ship as well so between that and stopping in when I'm home visiting my mom I can keep my babe in cool duds. Parking is on the street, and it was easy for me in late morning/early afternoon on a Thursday, but I'm not sure if they have any parking lots or garages for visitors to Portland's Boise neighborhood.

That's as far as clothing, anyway; they also sell a lot of toys, some art supplies, that sort of thing for children. I didn't look at every piece of clothing here but what I purchased was all from brands I haven't heard of before, and really lovely stuff, so in addition to adding the shop on Instagram I'll have to check out the brands too. The woman helping me was very friendly, happy to help but to give me space. I bought a top for my babe and when I was looking at it she mentioned she had a navy colorway, which wasn't out on the floor but she went to get it for me to take a look at and I MUCH preferred it to the green one I had seen and was considering. I can't wait to see her in it! It's not a cheap shop, particularly if you're looking for clothing. But they had a sale going on when I was here and the two racks were packed with stuff. And the toys are generally not as high priced as the clothing if you're looking for a gift or something. If you're on a tour of children's stores in Portland, add this one to your list.

So many cute clothing items! They all look hardly worn, which is thpi the case with newborn and…read moretoddler clothes because they grow so fast, they aren't wearing items multiple times. it's for this reason, I highly recommend buying second hand. while I don't have grandchildren, many of my friends do so while I'm at this little strip mall going to While Foods, I do a quick stop into the Beanstalk to see what is available. In addition to clothes, they have books, toys, shoes, and even some movie DVDs. The tiny store is well organized. They are picky with what they accept, which is why buyers may be happier and give higher ratings than those looking to consign.

Recently, the customer experience has shifted in a way that feels noticeably less accommodating and more rigid. On one visit, I arrived just a few minutes past the posted consignment drop-off time--with a large bag of items--and was turned away without any flexibility. As a mom juggling kids and schedules, that kind of all-or-nothing response felt unnecessarily inflexible and not very aligned with the realities of the customers they serve. There was also a separate incident involving an item that was handled in a way that felt lacking in communication and follow-through, which added to the overall frustration. As someone who works in sales and customer service, I fully understand the importance of policies--but also the importance of discretion, tone, and making customers feel valued. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my recent experience. I hope there's a return to the more customer-focused experience this store used to provide.

Firstly the quality of splendid is unparalleled particularly when it comes to their soft cosy knit sweaters made with the finest materials such as wool and cotton. I have purchased two beanies and four sweaters as well as one 100% cotton knit blanket from this boutique and each item has become an instant favorite for me. This boutique in particular features some of the deepest discounts of any splendid brand clothing I have ever seen and the customer service is exceptional here. I will definitely keep coming back not only for their clothing but also for the kind, caring and very helpful employees who staff the store. Thank you for always helping me get exactly what I want and working with very reasonable prices. 10/10 would recommend.

Seriously? $85.00 for a little baby/infant sweater?! Much of the clothing was reminiscent of things that you can find at H&M or Old Navy. In other words, rather nondescript and cheap. The fabric felt so-so, the construction of the garments was rather like over-sized, sloppy flash dance shirts. "What a feeling" Indeed. And the price to pay for you 80's look? $79.00. Ouch. I am not feeling that. Splendid is just too ordinary to throw the word "Splendid" around.
