Vintage Pink

Definitely one of my favorite vintage shops in town. Like any vintage consignment store– it can be hit or miss, either way it’s always worth a gander! Prices are very fair and things are well displayed and cared for! Keep it up Vintage Pink!

This place is a total and complete RIPOFF. If you want to pay a 600% markup for something you can buy at Goodwill, then by all means go crazy at Vintage Pink.
I was looking for a simple, foldable chair that I could use for when I have guests over. I spotted a cute, beige foldable chair out front on display. The only tag I saw on it was from Goodwill that said $ 4.99. Well, when I asked one of the employees how much the chair was, they said $ 29. Are you f’n kidding me??? They then said the sticker wasn’t supposed to be on there and that I shouldn’t have seen it.
Tacky, tacky, tacky. I will never step foot in this place again and I urge you not to either.

Vintage Pink is by far my favorite antique store. I bought my couch there in 2014 and I’m still enjoying it today. I’ve had lots of compliments on it and the price and customer service were excellent

Frosty employees. Venders too proud of their merchandise. $$$$$

Amazing vintage collection! Amazing customer service! I really enjoyed visiting this shop. I definitely plan to return in the future.

OVER PRICED OVER PRICED OVER PRICED. I keep giving this place a chance but it remains one of the most expensive stores I’ve been to. And I’ve been to many in portland over the years. Also, I have never been greeted when I’ve been here. It appears having good customer service isn’t a priority. You’d think one of my visited someone would have Greeted me. Nope. No reason to return at this point

This one is tough for me. I’ve purchased furniture from Pink before, and my experience was semi-​smooth. Nothing to complain about, just some back-​and-​forth about when to come back to pick it up, and the woman working that day was extra sweet and helped us load it in my car. I would’ve given them 4 – 5 stars if we’d stopped there. But then I kept going back sporadically like we all do when that bubble gum pink wall grabs us from the road and we can’t help ourselves… HOWEVER, the last two times I’ve visited Pink, I’ve been ignored the entire time while others were greeted over & over. I overheard one employee discussing with another employee the price they were about to tag on a table that was giving him a little bit of shit because it wasn’t sturdy and seemed to have some wear and tear. The female employee seemed stunned by the high price: «That much for it?» The male employee had an explanation like «well, it’s vintage» and as I walked away in every effort not to eavesdrop on their discussion, I could tell this was their main priority, as another employee was brought over about 15 minutes later to be taught how to handle the table in case they had to show it to someone. Not sure. So I keep walking through the store, and several times, I pass by the female employee who is chatting someone up and showing them around the store, happy to be of help to her, they are chatting about a range of topics. I make eye contact, I smile, but she turns away and ignores me. I finally decide to leave, even though I’m considering the beautiful kitchen table and chair set in the corner that I’ve been hovering by for 10 minutes to be sure about. Still, I don’t feel good about the vibe in there — I’m just hoping for a forthcoming hello, how are you, can I help you today? It’s not that they seem busy: It’s that they don’t know how to do a few things at once, help a person out, and say hello to the other — make someone feel welcome, it’s simple. As I’m walking toward my car, I realize the female employee had been outside for a few minutes taking something out. Now, we must walk past each other as I exit the store. Surely now she’ll speak. She looks me in the eye. Maybe she’ll say: «Thanks for coming!» «Have a good one.» 3 – 4 words, to a patient customer who walked around your shop for a half an hour. But her eyes remain fixed on me, a perfectly stoic look across her face, not matching my continued smile, and she says nothing. My smile fades fast. I can’t believe I’m about to leave this place, having been ignored the entire time, with no hello — and now she’s seeing me leave, we’re looking at each other, and she still won’t engage. Hey, hire me: I’m able bodied and would love to properly communicate with your customers and make them feel excited to shop here. Just saying!

I looked for a very specific 1964 Bassett bookcase for about six years after falling in love with the design. I have literally been shopping for this one item at least twice a month for 6 years!
Today I finally found the super rare bookcase I had been searching for at Vintage Pink.
HUGE THANKS to John Mack for finding this very special piece for our home.
The price wasn’t cheap, but I happily paid the price because:
a) I will likely never have the chance to purchase one of these again
and
b) I know that these vendors spend an enormous amount of time, energy, labor, and gas running all over the state trying to find interesting and rare merchandise to bring to market.
This stuff is getting very hard to find and even the craigslist market is extremely competitive.
Thanks Kevin and John and the others for helping us find our treasure!
See you next week!

EXPENSIVE very disappointed after coming in. The pieces are quite lovely and fun but wowza I wonder how this place is open. They can’t possibly be making enough sales here with price tags like this. I wish there were categories on Unilocal for rating, because again their stuff is adorable and it’s clean in there. It doesn’t smell like some reviewers have said. I wasn’t greeted when I came in but who cares? If you’re looking for items that are responsibly priced and not coming out of a store sad this isn’t the place for you to go shopping. If you have $ 500 to spend on a table or $ 300 for a couch that won’t be comfortable step right in.

This place is great! The handpicked selections are all clean, all very well taken care of pieces, ranging from cups and glasses, to larger pieces of furniture, such as couches, and dinette sets.
The lady picked up a mid-​century dresser for a great price while we were there, along with a slick looking Cosby sweater.

This place was s sore disappointment. I have never left 1 star. I walked in, set on purchasing a large dresser i saw on Craigslist. I meandered through the store, and was not greeted. I walked right by 2 employees complaining about a customer who was upset bc they weren’t greeted. Ironic. I was staring at the dresser, and still no one came over to help. I walked out, and surprisingly, was not addressed by the person behind the counter! What a shock! There are some great antique stores on Hawthorne that a lot of our furniture is from — I would recommend walking past Vintage Pink, and visiting the others.

I love this store for funky and vintage furniture!
There is a fairly good selection. There’s furniture, décor, rugs, etc. They even have some clothes. There are multiple styles of furniture.
The prices range between fair and a little steep. For the most part I thought the prices were great, I plan on going back and buying a dresser here in the next week, but occasionally I would see something that I thought was a little overpriced.
All in all, it’s a cool store to check out if you are in the market for furniture!

What a nifty store. We wandered in here after being disappointed at the comic book store next door. It was full of old relics of yesteryear. Really awesome furniture and artwork-​some new, some old. All really cool.
The employee was very helpful when we asked for directions elsewhere. Wish we lived nearby so that we could come here frequently and pick up nifty stuff for our own home!

Now this was a very cool little place that completely fits in with the Portland area. Nostalgia. Many nick-​nacks and furniture from our past, and alot of that clothing we usually don’t want to remember until Halloween rolls around.
This was a quirky place with trophies, adding machines, vintage juice glasses and living room sets and robots not for sale (apparently the owner has a thing for them) Paintings and old landscapes, golf clubs and vests, vases and frames. The majority of the items apeared to be from the 60s-​80s range. Basically a cool little joint if you are into that sort of thing. I enjoyed it for the kitch value.

I loved exploring Vintage Pink!
The store is extremely well laid out, with the items easily accessible, in good resale condition. Different vendors for each «stall» means prices and inventory (of course) vary, and there was little room for negotiation.
My partner bought a khaki windbreaker and cute flannel, but we agreed that she paid a bit too much for them. We tried to negotiate the price with the cashier, but she said she didn’t have much authority to alter prices. She was able to give us a small discount on the items we were getting because they were from the same vendor, which we were thankful for. If we lived in Portland, we would have seriously considered some of the larger furniture items.
I would recommend Vintage Pink to locals and visitors!

I’ve been into Vintage Pink on multiple occasions, but have always walked out empty handed. A combination of not needing what most of the inventory has to offer, which is furniture, and lack of really good vintage clothing.
Most home décor items are from the 60s and 70s, which just isn’t my bag, but still loads of fun. In terms of clothing, you’ll be hard pressed to find much that is earlier than the 60s. And some dealers appear not to know what vintage is, or what decent dealer practice is. One dealer had a faux blood stained slutty nurse costume that is still available on-​line AND the dealer had left the $ 4.99 Goodwill price tag on it.
Staff is hit or miss. Some are very nice and upbeat, while you’ll be lucky to get a «Hi» out of some.
Prices are moderate to high. You won’t find any major scores on the furniture.
Overall, only a need to visit if you’re moving and need furniture.

Vintage Pink is a glorious place for people like me who feel nostalgia for an era they were decades away from being born in. It’s a fun place to peruse (albeit, a little pricey) when you long to be in stale-​smelling reminiscence. The owners are kind & helpful, not at all pretentious like most vintage store owners have the tendency of reeking of. Plus, they’ve got a great collection of vintage Playboys. I’d give ‘em 3.5 stars if I could.
BUT — & I say this with love — check the furniture for their origins if you’re a stickler for true vintage. I once purchased a «vintage» (as advertised) coffee table here, & it wasn’t until I was loading it in my car that I realized it was from Target, circa 2010.
It didn’t matter too much to me because it was a great table. But I was puzzled to find a modern (i.e., of this era) coffee table in a «vintage» store.
If acquiring true vintage is important to you, keep your eyes peeled for distinguishing labels & brands. «Vintage» is such a relative word.

This store has tons of fantastic stuff for you home, but it does take a bit of digging to find something at a decent price. I had my eye on an old school chair for my apartment and thought the $ 36 price was too steep. I waited a few weeks and stopped in again to find the price dropped to $ 27. I also picked up a bright yellow rotary phone for $ 24 which they were nice enough to test for me in the store. It’s now one of my favorite things in our home.
Staff is pretty friendly, and they even have a shop dog that always seems to be there whenever I stop by.
Also if you’re into globes, they always seem to have a big selection at a decent prices. It’s pretty neat.

Summer Road Trip 2012
Portland…you can’t experience it without riding a bike through town and on the 4^th, we decided to rent out a couple of bikes with the recommendation to go into the Hawthorne District. during our ride, we passed by this pink building and we definitely had to stop by and see what vintage stuff they had… total time capsule that pushed you back mostly to the 60s-​70s era… it’s amazing that it’s all old stuff you can find in some storage room or flea market but the editing and display are what make these type of shops all the more interesting… we perused around… checked prices and boy were some stuff pricey, the only weird thing about old stuff cause there were some items I could definitely find ina a junk yard for cheap… nevertheless, nice bike break and intro into the Hawthorne District.

Very cool shop! I probably wouldn’t go here with something specific in mind because the selection is great for just browsing. But there are a ton of clothes, furniture, kitchen accessories, and other random awesome vintage pieces. Worth a trip, for sure. Tons of street parking, too.
