Bonnie?’s Pre-Owned and Vintage Clothing--
A Long Standing Tradition for Portland Women

By Janet Baker

Tucked amongst some our neighborhood?’s new businesses is a small jewel that has been around longer than many of us have lived in Beaumont Wilshire. Bonnie?’s Pre-Owned and Vintage Clothing at 4443 NE Fremont is a classy little shop offering a great selection of women?’s clothes. Bonnie, the owner, has run her business from the Fremont location for nearly 20 years. Her tasteful selection of dresses and sportswear reflect the time she spends on road all week searching for clothing to sell in the shop.

She offers everything from business attire to eveningwear including some vintage items. Items are carefully arranged by color and size and are all in tip-top condition. Bonnie?’s is the kind of place you will want to check on a regular basis to see what finds she has this week. For me, years of those ?“quick stop on the way home from work?” visits to her shop have resulted in a closet full of purchases from Bonnie?’s including many of my favorite clothes. Most of these items cost less than a quarter of the cost of new clothes. If a frustrating day at the mall yields no success, try out Bonnie?’s. It?’s a far more efficient way to shop and you will be supporting another Beaumont business.

Bonnie?’s is open Tuesday through Friday 11-5:30 and Saturday from 11 to 5 p.m. Phone: 281-4459.
