Meet The New Owners
Sheila and Kelley
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to carry forward the legacy built by the Linder family at Seams to Fit. Their commitment to customer service and quality merchandise has contributed to the positive impact experienced by our Portland community, and beyond.
We appreciate the dedication of 20+ years to create and grow this business to be environmentally sound and working towards a greater good. These are important tenets for us as well, and we have been working for some time now with high quality antiques and vintage clothing as a means to reemploy goods from our past.
The certification as a B Corporation is quite an accomplishment and we look forward to upholding the high standards necessary to achieve this by maintaining the practices, performance, and accountabilities that have been put in place.
We will continue to work to develop additional ways to reach out to, and positively impact, the community.
Thank you for welcoming us into the Seams to Fit family. We feel a connection to thecustomers and the business. It will be an honor to add to the vision both locally and globally.

Seams to Fit began in 1999 with the imagining of a place where women could come together to share their clothes and stories with each other. What began in a tiny storefront with a single shopkeeper, has now organically grown into what we have today, a true family business. What we have learned through it all is that when we follow our imagination and allow growth to happen naturally, wonderful things can happen.
Seams to Fit became a Certified B Corporation in 2016. B Corps are a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. Seams to Fit is proud to be the only consignment store in the world to be certified as a B Corporation.
Even though Seams to Fit is a small local business with a single location we believe we can have a positive impact on the world. We believe that small steps toward the greater good are a simple way to have this impact. By treating everyone with respect we encourage that outlook to be passed along. By selling only pre-owned items, we honor the planet with sustainability. By supporting our workers, we honor their efforts in making Seams to Fit who we are. By sharing our success with our neighbors, we work toward a more unified community.
Commitment to Community
Seams to Fit believes that our community is our lifeblood. We would not exist were it not for the support of our local and global clients. In the past 20 years, our relationships with all of you have been the lifeblood of our store, and we can't thank you all enough for your support. We hope our new online store is a way to continue to expand our reach throughout the world and promote the idea of consignment as a environmentally friendly way to shop. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!
