Our origin story
How It Started
Founded by Tamara Young, Consign Couture first opened its doors in the St. John’s neighborhood of Portland, OR in 2011. The store moved to Lake Oswego in 2018 and eventually to Multnomah Village, where we have been warmly and embraced by the vibrant community.
We know we have found the perfect spot for Consign Couture!
Consignment with a purpose
Values That Direct Our Work
Open to All
You are limited edition—and you deserve to feel that way. Consign Couture is an inclusive space where fashion feels personal and joyful. No matter your size, background, or style, you’re welcome, celebrated, and seen.
Authenticity Guaranteed
We don’t do knockoffs—ever. All designer items are verified by our team and trusted third-party experts. If it’s not authentic, it doesn’t hit the floor. Guaranteed or your money back.
Fashion with Intention
We believe in slow style over fast fashion. Every piece we carry is chosen for quality and longevity. From what we accept to how we operate, intentionality is woven into every decision.
Our founder’s story
A Love of Business & Fashion
Long before Tamara Young (she/her), founded Consign Couture in 2011, she had a love of business and of high end fashion running through her veins. It was a drive she developed watching her mother Laurie run a business for over 40 years, and a passion she absorbed from her grandmother Bea over long lunches at the Nordstrom cafe in San Jose, studying designer tailoring and discussing the virtues of “quality over quantity”. And in this place, in the era of disposable fast-fashion and consumption to excess, we’re sharing the lessons Tamara learned from her grandmother.
We believe that owning quality clothes you love, that make you feel good in your own skin, and looking after them so they can be worn for a long time is an important part of being not only your best self but of being a responsible steward of our world.

Meet Our Team
Emillie /
she/her
I am an avid hobbyist! In spare time, I love getting to pursue my many hobbies: reading, gaming, baking, and sewing.
I am also endlessly passionate about my family, traveling, fashion, and dogs.
My family is very important to me and we just welcomed a new addition in December when my sister had a baby.
My love for travel stems from my curiosity to explore new places and immerse myself in the histories and cultures of each place.
I love finding unique style pieces that can make a statement in my wardrobe while staying timeless.
All the love for dogs here!
Soph /
They/them
Hi, I’m Soph, I use they/them pronouns. I live in North Portland. When I’m not working in the store I’m spending time with my sisters or working on my art as painter and a costumer.
Some of my likes are: animals, whiteboards, 80’s new wave, dress up, miniatures, Halloween, watching movies in the theater.
Dislikes include: apathy, olives, individualism, gum, messes, rigidity, looking for parking spaces.
As a member of the Consign Couture team I’m always looking to foster a space of inclusivity, body positivity, and warmth.
Mackenzie/
She/her
I’m originally from San Diego, CA and studied photography and sculpture in college.
I spend a lot of my time developing film, making zines, and collecting rocks.
I’ve worked as a framer, in communications, and at a ceramic studio, and I’m always happiest when I get to connect with people in creative spaces.
I’m passionate about secondhand and handmade things, and I’m excited to be part of a team that shares that love.
