About Us
Twenty years ago, Susan and Diane began with a simple but powerful vision. They wanted to create a place where women could do more than purchase clothing. They dreamed of a boutique where every woman who walked through the door could feel seen, understood, and beautiful. From that vision, Susan & Diane Portland was born. What started as a small shop in the heart of the city quickly grew into something much larger than either of them could have imagined.
From the very beginning, Susan and Diane believed that fashion was never only about garments. Clothing, to them, was a language, a way of expressing who you are and how you feel. It was about more than following trends or filling racks. Every collection they curated was chosen with intention, guided by the belief that style should enhance a woman’s life, not complicate it. Their goal was to offer pieces that carried both comfort and elegance, garments that would become a natural part of everyday life as well as memorable occasions.
Over the years, Susan & Diane Portland became more than a boutique. It became a gathering place. Inside its walls, stories were shared and friendships were formed. Conversations sparked in the fitting rooms and laughter echoed between the displays. For many, it was a place of comfort and connection, a shop where customers knew they would always be greeted warmly and receive advice that was honest and personal.
What set the boutique apart was not only the carefully selected collections, but the way Susan and Diane approached every woman who walked through the door. Their commitment to authenticity and personal service created an atmosphere that felt like home. They wanted each person to leave not only with clothing that suited her, but with the feeling that she had been heard, valued, and cared for.
Through two decades, countless women discovered something meaningful here. A dress for a celebration, a blouse for work, or a piece that simply brought quiet joy to daily life. Each purchase held a story, and it was an honor for Susan and Diane to be part of so many moments, both ordinary and extraordinary.
Now, after twenty years filled with memories, hard work, and immeasurable gratitude, the time has come to say goodbye. Susan & Diane Portland will be closing its doors for the final time. This decision does not come easily, because the boutique has been so much more than a business. It has been a community, a place of belonging, and a chapter in the lives of so many.
As we close this chapter, we look back with profound appreciation. To every woman who supported us, who chose us, and who made Susan & Diane Portland part of her story, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Without you, this journey would not have been possible.
