Crossroads Trading

Crossroads Trading on NW 23rd Ave has earned its place as one of Portland's most trusted spots for buying and selling secondhand clothing and accessories. Unlike the typical thrift store dig-through experience, Crossroads operates with a curated, boutique-style approach — staff carefully select what hits the floor, so you're browsing quality pieces rather than sorting through clutter. It's the kind of place where you might score a barely-worn leather jacket or a vintage denim find that looks like it was pulled from a time capsule. Located in the heart of Portland, OR's vibrant Northwest neighborhood, Crossroads Trading draws a loyal crowd of style-conscious shoppers, students, and sustainability-minded locals who'd rather give great clothing a second life than pay full retail. With 165 reviews and a community that keeps coming back, the store has clearly built something worth visiting.

What They Sell

Crossroads Trading specializes in contemporary secondhand clothing, shoes, and accessories with a focus on quality and style. Expect to find gently used name-brand and designer pieces — think Levi's, Free People, Doc Martens, and Patagonia — alongside on-trend vintage finds. The inventory turns over frequently because Crossroads both buys and sells, meaning every visit feels genuinely different. It's a strong spot for building a stylish wardrobe sustainably without the unpredictability of a traditional thrift store.

The Neighborhood

Crossroads Trading sits on NW 23rd Ave, affectionately known to Portland locals as 'Trendy-Third' — a walkable stretch lined with independent boutiques, cafes, and bookshops. The neighborhood blends old Portland charm with a lively shopping scene, making it easy to pair a Crossroads run with coffee at a nearby café or a stroll through the surrounding Victorian-era streets of Nob Hill.

Parking

NW 23rd Ave offers on-street metered parking along the corridor, which is typically manageable on weekday mornings but can get competitive on weekends. Side streets off NW 23rd — like NW Hoyt or NW Glisan — often have easier spots. The area is also well-served by TriMet bus lines, making it an easy car-free trip from much of Portland.

Shopping Tips

  • Bring items to sell before you shop — Crossroads buys secondhand clothing on the spot, and store credit from your sell can be applied immediately toward your purchase, stretching your budget further.
  • Visit on weekday mornings when new inventory is freshest and the store is least crowded, giving you first pick of recently processed pieces.
  • Check tags carefully — Crossroads sorts by brand and condition, so color-coded tags can signal markdown cycles if you ask staff about the current rotation.
  • Don't skip the shoe and accessory section; these are often where the most underpriced gems hide, since most shoppers head straight for clothing racks.
  • Follow up with a second visit if you're hunting something specific — inventory changes fast at Crossroads Trading because the buy-sell model keeps stock moving, and what wasn't there last week might be today.
