Oxalis

Very chic women’s clothing boutique. Got a gift certificate for my mother here. The owner Stephanie was wonderful. The friendly shop dog, Banjo greeted me and showed me around. Awesome back yard garden. Highly recommend stopping in.

Excellent, well edited small women’s boutique, eclectic selection of flattering clothing, many great selections for travel and lots of good help when you need or want it and you’re free to browse when you want to. They also have beautiful garden art for sale and small gifts! Love it!

I love shopping at Oxalis for unique fashions and knowledgeable, helpful staff. The owner has an excellent eye for selecting fashion and accessories that fit right into and update my wardrobe. It is the perfect destination boutique to find that perfect new item that delights.

Holy snobs!!! I have shopped all over the world and I am only seen this type of stuck up snobbery in Beverly Hills at a store when I was 21 years old . I was asked right away if I was from the “neighborhood “ I said no I was not . I started the look around the store and I was question after question and each item I looked at they said something about it . The owner was there and a small older woman helping her out . Aside from the pushy sales style and staring at me the entire time I was in the store , they was very stuck up too . I guess I’ll have to break out the Louis Vuitton purse if I plan on going back , maybe then they will relax and let me look around the store . Well better yet I’ll go to any other of them many many stores in Portland , I forgot there is style “old school “ stuck up people like this in the work , these are the kind of people from the old baby boomers that nobody likes . I wish I could give them a minus star. There was nothing very special about there store small selection of over priced items .

I actually love their extremely wonderful customer service. It’s a rarity these days. Plus the selection is always wonderful. The fact the sales people remember you and your preferences is a big plus in my book!

Not dog friendly There is a really aggressive dog in the store. Thank you so much for your reply. I do regret the encounter as I really love your store. I will be.back!!!! Britt

My wife loves shopping at this Boutique. She enjoys the personal service.

Visited Portland and my wife was looking for new clothes. Great customer service. We'll be back next time in Portland.

The best women's clothing boutique in Portland! The staff is enthusiastic, personable and knows their stock. They cater to each individual and offer clothing, accessories, shoes and gifts!

Always loved shopping at Syzygy in Manzinita, a must visit whenever I am at the Coast, so I was thrilled and surprised to find out the owner had opened a shop in NW Portland! Evidently it's been here for years! It's definitely off the beaten path (NW 24th off Thurman) so you need to know it's here to find it. If it was on the main drag of NW 23rd or had better signage, I'm sure they would get a lot more foot traffic. That being said, the day my friend and I stopped by, there were several other ladies there. Once you visit the boutique, I'm sure it will be on your list of shops that you make a point to visit frequently to see what's new. Oxalis offers an eclectic mix of clothes, jewelry, shoes, hats, scarves and even some metal wall and yard art. A little bitof a lot of things! Clothing is classic, well made and on the high end. Lots of cashmere shawls, sweaters, and scarves, for example. Beautiful functional rain coats and jackets, perfect for the PNW. Jewelry from local artists is on display in the cabinet when you enter. Definitely check it out! The shop is on the first floor of an old home so you wander from each of the small rooms to discover treasures. Customer service is helpful, friendly, but not intrusive. Call your girlfriends and make an outing, grab brunch or coffee (St. Honore is around the corner) then wonder over to Oxalis for a lovely shopping experience.

I have never been treated so poorly in a store in my entire life. The sales person was hostile and paranoid.

I've always loved this store, and though sometimes expensive the sales are phenomenal and the eclectic stylish selection is amazing. You will find styles and labels here that aren't carried anywhere else, and the shoes are beautiful quality and reflect the latest European craftsmanship and trends. Everything is classic, quality, tasteful with a bit of edge. If you've had unpleasant interaction in the past, the atmosphere has returned to its wonderful service oriented beginnings. Under new ownership, the uniqueness has remained but with a friendlier vibe. I recently stepped in for a new pair of sandals knowing I would find something special. I had the pleasure of meeting the new owner Stephanie, who is knowledgable, non-pushy, and very warm. It was a delightful surprise. If you've been away for a while, come back! You'll be glad you did.

It's really hard for me to categorize this shop - they offer such an eclectic mix of things. Are they a clothing and accessories store? Absolutely. Will you find nearly limitless gift ideas there? You bet. Looking for plants, for indoors or out? You'll be amazed at what you'll find at Oxalis. An amazing collection of hats. I could go on and on, but instead I'll suggest you give them a visit. The proprietors, Holly and Leslie, are incredibly friendly folks - I love being around them. They have such an eye for beautiful, witty, sometimes kitschy things that all work together. Both in the shop and in the backyard garden area, you'll be surrounded by things that will make you smile, will brighten your day, will make you want to take them home with you. I defy you to find a better customer service experience - I don't think it exists. Be forewarned: Oxalis isn't that easy to find - it's somewhat hidden away. For reference, it's in the same block as the Food Front CoOp, around the corner from Dragonfly Coffee. I think you'll be glad you found them.

I was recently shopping in Portland and came across this cute boutique! The staff were extremely helpful and I'm so happy I stumbled upon this place! I picked out some great gifts, and purchased a few items for myself ;) I will be back soon! Happy to see small businesses surviving during these difficult times!

I actually love their extremely wonderful customer service. It's a rarity these days. Plus the selection is always wonderful. The fact the sales people remember you and your preferences is a big plus in my book!

This is a fun shop. Wonderful clothes, jewelry, home stuff, plants, and outdoor art. Does anyone else remember Leslie from Syzygy in Manzanita? Well, now you've found her. She sold Syzygy and moved to Portland to create a not to miss store -- one part casual beach vibe, one part urban life, and one part northwest green. Only Leslie, along with Holly, her green thumb partner extraordinaire, could pull this off so successfully. Be sure to add Oxalis to your list on your next shopping outing.

Having lived on multiple Island-esque locales, a trip to the city is always a treat. Anticipation builds as you drive into the concrete jungle surrounded by skyscrapers and thousands of people milling about... As we made our way up Northwest 23rd and jumped up one block and found this Boutique unrivalled in the countless thousands of miles of travel... our Smiles brightened as we met the staff, led by Stephanie and a troop of amazing Representatives, none too pushy... Amazingly informative... And free to share Fashions and Artisan Creations from around the world.... a few bags strung over our shoulder... We went about our day... And referenced Oxalis more than a few times throughout the remaining trip. It is a must-see... Allow for more than a few moments as you walk into this, customer service enriched locale.

I had the best experience at Oxalis. I bought a scarf for my wife and she loved it. Stephanie the owner helped me pick the perfect gift. Great customer service and great experience! Highly recommend.

Stopped by this boutique to buy a gift certificate for my wife after realizing she wanted, and deserved a more personalized shopping experience than she could get elsewhere. After taking a look at some of their products, I feel like they carried a great selection of products for a woman like my wife who wants to dress professionally for work with style. The staff were very helpful and assured me they would take great care of my wife when she came back to redeem her gift. I'm looking forward to seeing her enjoy what I'm sure will be a great shopping experience and will update this review then.

This little shop is right around the corner from mine, and I send many people over to select from Leslie's specially curated clothing boutique. She always has the best cashmere selection as well as a wonderful complement of shoes and jewelry. Plus there's Joey the sweet puppy. If you haven't been in yet, give it a try.

A great place for casual, high quality, stylish clothing, shoes and accessories. The shop is a feast for the eyes inside and out. My only negative is that the dressing rooms are not equipped with mirrors. I found it cumbersome to walk out onto the sales floor in order to view each item. I would have tried on more (and likely purchased more) otherwise.

LOVE this shop!! The owner has a wonderful sense of style and knows how to fit clothes. I found the best shows ever plus some timeless clothing pieces. I will be back every visit I make to Portland.

This is your one stop shop for cool clothes, gifts, plants and friendly conversation. It is without a doubt my favorite Portland store. Grab a cup of coffee at Dragonfly (love them too) and wander around the corner for a fun shopping experience right off Thurman St.

The place looks very cool but even the high ended merchandise does not hold up well, stretches or shrinks, buttons fall off.... I bought a very cute American made shirt, washed it once, according to the manufacture's tag instructions (cold, delicate) and the threads frayed. Tried to return it for credit and the implication was that it was MY fault and had done something wrong.

I unfailing find something I love at this shop. Eclectic selection that you won't see everyone on the street wearing. The merchandise is high quality and the owners/employees are all very friendly and most helpful. My only grumble is that they don't have mirrors in the dressing rooms. I prefer to preen in private.

With such high end prices and quality merchandise, I was really surprised and disappointed to find out they have a no money back policy on returns- store credit only. I prefer shops that have a more customer centered approach to returns.

This place is fantastic. The selection of clothing is just the right size to keep it interesting, varied, desirable and not overwhelming. The customer service was excellent. I really liked both of the women. I felt helped but not pressured. This is probably the best clothing shopping experience I have had.
