Pendleton: The Portland Collection
I’m SO excited about 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.

Can it be August already? We can’t wait. So exciting to be part of this as a Portland native!
I’m sure it will sell out fast. It’s so beautiful.

Hi!
Did anyone else happen to notice that Pendleton are selling REAL FUR?!! Doesn’t that bother anyone else?
They do use shearling in the The Portland Collection and they use leather, but I haven’t seen any fur in this collection.
