The quest for the perfect purse: It ended here at Portland Design Collective. After traipsing all over town and perusing practically EVERY single one of them I was leaving empty handed each time. I even tried finding something new and was not having any luck. See, I am wearing a fabulous 1950’s era ball gown to a masquerade ball soon and a fantastic golden toned gown needs the perfect little purse not only as an accessory but my very survival depends on it. Ladies, you know what I am talking about. And it must be perfect. Not too big, not too small and not too gold, but juuust right. Erin hooked me up Goldilocks style. She found the just right little, golden toned vintage handbag for me. I really do feel like I struck gold at PDC. There is other seriously awesome stuff in there. My friend bought her Halloween costume there. There is such a vast array of items for men and women from shoes and various accessories and jewelry to all sorts of one-of-a-kind clothing. There also is an alterations department in the store. Just for YOU.
