Frances May

Portland, USA

Founded in 2008, Frances May is a directional men’s and women’s clothing store on Washington Street in Portland. A joint venture between Connie Codding and her granddaughter, Pamela Baker-Miller, the typical Frances May look possesses a classic, vintage sensibility and a modern aesthetic. The store, which evokes the feeling of coming home with its high ceilings, big windows and warm lighting, stocks streetwear brands such as Common Projects, Acne Studios and APC, trendsetters like Rachel Comey, Leon Dore, Etudes and Shania Mote, and local Portland favourites such as BTLN, Portland Garment Factory, Reif and Tiro Tiro. Simply put, it is Portland’s go-to destination for those seeking well designed and made, original and hard to find designer apparel.
