If you needed an excuse to visit Portland, Oregon, then the Lodekka vintage store is the perfect one. A unique shop, it has quickly become a must-see sight among residents and visitors alike.
The brainchild of Erin Sutherland, the Lodekka vintage store was created with the help of Sutherland's friends, in which they converted a 1965 Bristol Lodekka into the store. Embodying a hippie vibe that sets off a retro mood perfect for vintage shopping, it is open Thursday through to Saturday, 11 am to 6 pm.
