Kiriko Made

OMG. LOVE this store!! Could spend a small fortune. From their website: "Kiriko Is a Lifestyle Brand Forged From the Spirit of Mottainai, A Japanese value that embraces one to waste nothing and recycle everything. Long ago, cloth was hand-woven with patterns that held meaning and dyed with materials available through the seasons. In this way we cycled with the seasons, not trends. We made memories with our belongings instead of replace them with mass produced goods. When we began to lose touch with the tradition of making in this way, we stopped treasuring our clothes. We are always searching Japan for vibrant Kasuri - both vintage and those made today in craft houses generations’ old, hand-dyed Shibori, and centuries old Boros. Our apparel and accessories display the incredible traditional craftsmanship and care small textile factories in Japan boast. By purchasing our products, you are not only helping Kiriko Made as a small emerging brand, but also all the factories in Japan that create the materials we are fortunate enough to use."

I'm so happy I found Kiriko! They've been fantastic to work with. I've placed many orders online, they're quick to ship and items are so thoughtfully packaged. I'm impressed with the uniqueness of their offerings and their beautiful philosophy...can't wait to visit them in person. I hope to travel to Portland soon! Here's a few pictures of just some of the treasures that have found there way to my home.

I ordered two of the yokai tenugui and a bandana with a similiar yokai print. The tenugui are so lovely in person. Incredibly soft, almost like, baby blanket soft?? I thought I knew my cotton, but they are clearly doing something differently in Japan. I bought these pieces to frame because the artwork is so fascinating, but now it seems almost wasteful with how soft and lovely they are.

I have three decorative pillows now. The fabric on each of them is beautiful. They are the perfect accompaniment to my living room. They are perfect pillows. No matter how the are adjusted for comfort, they fit body’s, heads and feet perfectly. Beautiful and functional! Perfection.

I've been ordering some things from this place for quite some time. They're probably the only store (good quality) that sells authentic Japanese items and clothes. There's Prospective Flow too, but Kirikomade has more items! Customer service is great! Everyone I've spoken to were really nice and helpful. I love it when they have discounts (: They frequently do this too! What I like most about KirikoMade is the originality of their collection. Only made at KirikoMade so you won't find it anywhere else. Anyways, appreciate the craft, store, and people there. It's pricey but quality makes up for it!

I absolutely love this Boet Necklace. The craftsman of this piece is impeccable. And it adds an extra layer of detail to my daily wardrobe. This piece brings me joy every time I put it on. Highly recommend Kirikomade for their awesome collection of high quality goods.

Beautiful store, unique pieces, attentive staff. I often drop in to find the perfect gift - housewarming or birthday - for a loved one. I finally decided to treat myself and purchased a pair of jean pants. They are phenomenal - 100% cotton, comfortable yet stylish. They've become my travel pants, perfect for an airplane or long car ride, and my go-to for any time I want to look stylish but casual. I get compliments on them literally every time I wear them.

The staff is so kind and welcoming. Everything in this shop is so well made. Such an amazing assortment of things. I bought an incredibly well crafted hat, and some sashiko thread. Excellent quality.

We love visiting Portland and Kiriko is always our first stop - after grabbing a bite to eat of course. I love the ethos of this store, reusing high quality textiles and transforming them into incredible apparel and home goods. One my favorite purchases is a denim hat, which doesn't sound like a big deal but I've found it nearly impossible to find a hat that looks good and fits well on me. I would describe it as a great pair of jeans for my head. Recently, we needed some new throw pillows for our sofa. I thought of Kiriko and was very excited to find a beautiful design with their signature navy look. I ordered the pillows online and they arrived in Seattle very quickly. The inserts are very high quality and I couldn't be happier. There's no other store like this in the US. Well worth a visit.

This store is such an experience. I felt like I stepped into another world when I walked in. There are treasures around every corner and although there is a lot of stuff in there, it was curated so well (and smelled great). All of my senses were delighted. This place has the coolest jeans I've seen with patches of fabric. The associate said they have some Japanese vintage jeans, some new from Japan, and a collection of their own in-house designer who works with a local seamstress to incorporate fabric patches in the most creative ways. If you want to make your own jeans, they have books and craft kits for sashiko (a traditional Japanese embroidery technique for mending, reinforcing, and decorating fabric with white running stitches on indigo-dyed cloth Indigo dyes) as well as indigo dye kits. They also have other fashionable clothing items including hats and shirts and the most beautiful, unique jackets and coats.

Is it a clothing shop? Is it an accessory boutique? Is it a museum? After wandering through this place a couple of times, I'm convinced it's all of the above. The charming displays of Japanese curios, textiles, clothing and assorted vintage items are all impeccably arranged so as you wander through the crowded space you're never quite sure what's for sale and what's not, but the place is full-on magical. It's visually chaotic but somehow serene at once, with incense wafting through the air as you turn corner after corner, only to discover a completely new arrangement of colorful items. They are apparently a lifestyle brand, and seems like they specialize in upcycled handmade clothing, (among other things). Bearing that in mind, prices can be pretty steep, but given the care and curation of the store itself I'd imagine the goods are likewise well crafted I've never bought anything here, but I will definitely come back to Kiriko just to experience its one-of a-kind vibe again

Nice store, full of vintage Knick knacks, things that you would find at your Asian great grandmother's home. There's another Kiriko across the street that has more housewares and snackie things. Pretty things, good browsing, way too expensive for my pocket book.

Beware of the care instructions, I bought these jeans about a month ago (https://kirikomade.com/products/kiriko-original-denim-jeans-custom-dyed-premium-selvedge-yellow-nami?variant=43693731184802), they were washed twice per the care instructions and the stain they use for their leather patches has bled out over the denim, staining it permanently. Customer service just said "we have never heard of that happening with our jeans before" which doesn't inspire hope that things will change, but I do hope they replace the care labels on their products, it certainly isn't fair to customers to state that they're suitable for cold wash/ tumble dry low.

I was intrigued by this shop while browsing google maps and stopped in. Immediately, I fell in love. Lightly scented incense was burning, there's wares everywhere (in cases, on tables, hanging from the ceiling) and it's a quiet sort of chaos. I enjoyed wandering and browsing these beautiful Japanese items including books, bags, clothes, and jewelry. The prices are high so expect that going in, but very cool stuff. The person checking me out was super nice too. Really enjoyed my time here.

Japanese garments and SO much fabric. Pottery, jewelry, and dishware. All beautiful, elegantly presented, and oh so expensive. The denim jeans and jackets were eye-catching, chic street wear that anyone, American or Japanese, could adore. Just too expensive for an everyday splurge.

I love this little store. Such unique and quality items. Picked up several things like coasters, a wallet and tote bag. Love the fabric and construction of the items. Staff was very helpful too.

I thought the breads were spongy and not flavorful. My chicken sandwich hardly had any chicken. The condiments were good and the atmosphere was clean.

Be careful when ordering they had damaged product and although they offered a discount. Their shipping went up from 22$ to $58 even though I ordered from their website. They made it seem like my fault and my burden. I was buying a $300 item. I shouldn't be charged more after I create and approve the purchase (with shipping) on their website - that is shady.

A beautifully curated shop that I absolutely enjoy visiting every time I am in downtown Portland. Aside from their upcycled textiles, they have a wonderful selection of Buddhist statuary which are very reasonably priced given the detail. I was on a time crunch last time I visited, but I would have liked to spend more time browsing their ceramics and hand towels.

Service is strangely hostile and unfriendly. I've been here five times in two years. No one says hello. They don't look at you. They keep talking to each other. Like I'm not worth acknowledging. And I have tourist dollars to spend and I buy a lot of stuff. I'm the only customer inside! That said they have very nice items. Vintage and new Japanese textiles. African trade beads. Hokkaido Ainu ceramics and wood carvings. Like a folk art museum. The collection is very very special. Handmade. Warm. But. When I was admiring wall hangings, my eyes locked with a store clerk's. Mr. beard was glowering, hostile, silent. Like I was going to steal. Not a good feeling. 5 for the selection and value. Zero for humanity. I thought my fifth visit maybe something will be different. No. It's a pattern and policy. Everywhere else in Portland clerks ask me if they can help.

I'm fashion nooby but this shop is so damn cute! We randomly ran into this while strolling arojnd downtown and it immediately caught our eyes. Lots of outfits with heavy Japanese influences with unique twists. They have an interesting collection of denim jackets in the back of the store, where they take brand name jackets (e.x. Lee) and add patches with Japanese patterns. The shop assistants were attentive and friendly.

Enjoyed this Japanese boutique shop in Portland. The displayed items were beautiful, and it was interesting getting to see the different fabrics being used. A gem in the city!

Such a cool store for all of your Japanese Americana needs. They have a really good selection of denim and the store is overall curated so well. Staff is quiet but welcoming.

*Did not visit in person! Purchased an online order. I am enthralled with the packaging care and the brilliant craftsmanship of the items. I may be too far to visit in person, but I would suggest this store is a must see if you're in the area! Really great quality and unique pieces. I will definitely purchase from them again.

Every time we're in Portland, we make a stop here. It's worth the visit every single time. It's a quiet, calming oasis full of well made, attractive, hand-crafted items. I've personally gotten all of my bandanas/tenugui from my walk-ins. Recommend you stop by. Check out their wares! They don't disappoint. They are open during this time. Or if you don't like that, go ahead and browse/purchase online. :)

I fell in love with their online shop and was head over heels when I realized they had a brick and mortar location! Well curated, quality Japanese goods with style and ambiance. The best chopsticks I've ever found came from here and they make for great gifts.

Best store in Portland. This place is like a museum inside. The ambiance is unreal and the merchandise is so unique and well made. Everything in here is truly a work of art.

Very hip Japanese home accessories (ceramics too) and clothes. Reasonable priced and well curated.

Just stopped in after brunch on a Sunday afternoon, my family in town were searching for a more breathable bandana or mask. They found beautiful masks with awesome prints and I purchased a beautiful scarf to wear as a mask and some incense. I will be back because I saw some other things I would love to look at when I have more time. Great place to shop for a unique gift and friendly staff showed me how to fold scarf to wear as a face cover.

Loved the store, and the folks that helped me out. When you walk into the store it feels like a hidden oasis right in the heart of Portland's Chinatown. High quality products, fantastic attention to detail, and great customer service. Will definitely be coming back.

Highly recommend them for unique gifts, staples in your closet and even custom design. Momo customized a denim jacket for me--I love it! I also wear my kiriko denim pants regularly and have a beautiful scarf that I can dress up or down. Love this place!

Absolutely beautiful store, with stunning items that run the gamut from clothes to accessories, books, and art. I'm over to the moon to have found a place that has a clear and deep appreciation for vintage Japanese goods and style. Customer service, though...well, I guess you could say that they follow the Japanese mindset there, too. Perfectly friendly and pleasant, but very standoffish in-store. Which is fine, but can feel a bit 'gatekeeping' and intimidating, especially if you don't have a ton of experience and knowledge of items they sell. In keeping with that, don't expect responses via email or social media. That said, Kiriko is absolutely worth your time and money, if you're into this sort of thing. They are absolutely unique and I wish them the best.

What a lovely find! Absolutely gorgeous fabrics, ceramics and more - good prices (some high some low) - and the staff is very friendly.

A little hard to find - start going into Compound Gallery but walk straight, through the Japanese indigo curtains, and down the stairs. The staff are cutting, sewing, and making experimental clothing with vintage Japanese cloths and bric-a-brac, like American Army uniforms. Every shape and size of piece of elegant cloth is gently displayed: pocket squares, handkerchiefs, things I don't know the use of but want to know. Updated kiminos and Japanese firemen's jackets are rebuilt from old parts, and surprisingly affordable for unique fashion: often under $200. They seem to be open from noon to 5 or so on weekdays, go to kirikomade.com and make sure they're expecting you. Service is generous and enthusiastic, the designer wants to show you everything and explain everything.

Great store with the most unique textiles and goods I've seen. The quality is top notch and customer service is great. I bought a few tote bags from here (they are at a great price point) and a fastener on one of the bags came out. They sent me a shipping label to return the bag for repairs and sent it back to me, free of charge. They stand by their product!

Stopped in from out of town. Have ordered online and the place is great aesthetically! Keep it up Kiriko!

I have purchased online and I have been into the store and purchased. Today, however, my husband and his friend went into the store and they were not even acknowledged. He would have purchased a couple item but the 2 people in the back on laptops didn't even look up. Maybe there wells supposed to be someone up front, but he was disappointed and probably won't be back. It's a cool concept to have the designers working on the store, but customer service should always take priority.

I recently ordered a pair of denim from Kiriko and couldn't be happier. The ordering process was swift and easy and the delivery arrived in a matter of days via USPS. Erin even helped me update some personal information via email and made sure that I had all of the communication I needed. While I didn't step foot in the brick and mortar store it is definitely on my list of must see spots the next time I'm in Portland, until then I'll have to keeping coming back to the website to peruse and purchase the unique and quality items they offer.
