If you're trying to avoid in-person shopping, reminder that we've got an online store and are always available via DM or phone call to support your shopping needs. As we head into fall/winter, we'll be even more reliant on online sales to get by, so just remember that every purchase you make matters. A small sleeve of matches, a letterpress card, or a few hair clips might seem like tiny gestures, but to us they make a huge difference. Thank you for supporting us now and especially in the seasons ahead. We appreciate you!

Just a sweet shop shelfie and a reminder that we're open today through Monday from 11am to 6pm PT. Swing by and say hello. We love seeing your masked faces in person! 🌈

It may be September, but it sure doesn't feel like Fall here in Portland. For the transition period? Our lightweight bandanas, of course.
