The Portland Collection for Pendleton by Portland designers Nathaniel Crissman, Rachel Turk and John Blasioli. Nathaniel and Rachel are the designers behind one of my all-time favorite PDX labels, church + state. You can really see their point-of-view and signature details in these pieces. I love the Elks lodge feel of the Fall/Winter 2011 lookbook–for me, that is quintessential Portland.
“Perennial pleated skirts, wool plaids and Western wear are the heart of Pendleton, but The Portland Collection will have a designer feel, an urban sensibility and a versatility factor.”–Mort Bishop, Pendleton Woolen Mills President
That red/brown plaid wool is killing me. KILLING. And the bags… THE BAAAGS.
