Change is in the air...
North Street is Moving!
Stop by our Clinton St shop before 3/5 to shop discounted Factory 2nds, see your bags being made, and wish us luck on the move!
This March, North St Bags will be hopping one neighborhood over to a bigger, better production facility in Portland’s bustling Hawthorne District.
WHERE ARE WE HEADED?
We’re closing down our Clinton St shop and moving to the corner of SE Hawthorne and Poplar Ave, 3 blocks west of SE 20th Ave at the edge of Ladd’s Addition (1551 SE Poplar, for your maps). It’s a short ride/drive/hike from our old location and the opportunity to grow our in house operation has been a long time in the making.
North St Bags takes its name from North St in Montpelier, Vermont, where founder and owner Curtis Williams grew up. The first bag came to life in Berkeley, CA almost 9 years ago, and since then we've grown from a one man basement operation to a team of makers and shakers. The last 5 years in the Clinton neighborhood have seen incredible change, and we couldn't be more excited to see what adventures Poplar has in store. One thing's for sure - no matter what road we're on, we're always North St.
