Set on a busy street corner several blocks from the North Side's trendy North Mississippi strip, this once-dilapidated warehouse houses an upstairs workshop for makers of artisanal goods and an inspiring downstairs retail space where proprietors Robert and Jocelyn Rahm sell a carefully curated selection of lifestyle goods for every room in the home, many of them produced locally—some as local as upstairs. Among the hipster treasures, look for warm and soft camp blankets and Navajo rugs with vibrant prints, women's jewelry in a variety of simple-but-beautiful styles, Portland Apothecary bath salts and soaps, and quite a few larger pieces of distinctive furniture.

Located in the hip West End section of Downtown, this grandmother-and-granddaughter-owned clothing store is a favorite of stylish local men and women who come for that cool, understated, high-quality look (casual to dressy) that Portlanders are known for. You'll find made-in-America labels like Steven Alan and Rachel Comey as well as European faves like Acne and APC. The Alex Mill cashmere beanies and Carven women's pullovers and sweaters are especially popular during Portland's cool winters.

This small, somewhat under-the-radar, upscale, men's clothier carries arguably the best selection of fashion-forward, emerging labels in the city. In addition to Machus's own private-label dress shirts and tees, check out the form-fitting, refreshingly unadorned Naked and Famous skinny jeans, stylish sportswear by Knomadik, and edgy, urbane bomber jackets and hoodies from ADYN. You won't find many—or any—pastels or bright prints in here; expect clean classics, with lots of blacks, grays, and whites.

Here, science and biology mix with whimsy and imagination. You'll find everything from taxidermied scorpions and baby goats to ostrich eggs and ceramic chimes. It's a fascinating and strangely beguiling mix of goods, and not for the faint of heart.

Running on Saturday mornings and early afternoons year-round, this astoundingly large and diverse farmers' market carries not only Oregon's bounty of flowers and produce (look especially for berries in summer and stone fruits in fall) but also hazelnuts, cheese, delectable baked goods, wines and ciders, and other goodies. It's great for people-watching and souvenir shopping, and several stalls sell great food to eat on-site—be sure to come hungry. If you can't make the Saturday market, check the website for locations of smaller but still very popular versions of the market, held most days during the warmer months at various locations around town.

The open-air Portland Saturday Market, which has been going strong since 1976 and runs from March to December on weekends (including Sunday, despite the name), is a favorite place to find one-of-a-kind, handcrafted home, garden, and clothing items—everything from T-shirts and souvenirs to high-quality sculptures and housewares. An impressive new pavilion, part of it covered, houses the more than 300 artisans. Don't confuse this crafts-oriented market with the equally popular Portland Farmers' Market.

Tea drinkers rejoice: you don't have to resort to coffee just because you're in Portland. The late founder and legendary tea guru Steve Smith launched two renowned companies, Stash Tea and Tazo, before opening his own company inside a former blacksmith shop on the northwestern edge of the Pearl District. At this handsome tea shop, you can see how the tea is made and packaged, shop teas and accessories, and then sample different varieties at a small tasting bar. Select a tea flight from a menu, try a tea latte, or work your work through an oxidation spectrum—from white to black. The sturdy, pastel-hued boxes in which Smith packages his exquisite, carefully sourced teas make great gifts.

Food writer Mark Bitterman knows a thing or two about salt—he's written two popular books on the subject, and he's the owner of this tiny purveyor of gourmet finishing salts, some of them smoked or infused with unusual flavors, like cherry and plums, or saffron. At this flagship location (there's a second Meadow in Nob Hill, and a third in Manhattan's West Village) you can also purchase the additional magical touches you might need to create the perfect dinner party, from Oregon and European wines and vermouths, to fresh-cut flowers, aromatic cocktail bitters, and high-quality, single-origin chocolates.
