Viand Mercantile — Local services in Portland

Drove up from Boston to check out this store! It's chock-full of beautiful products; from vintage and one of a kind finds, to small-batch and handcrafted items.

The staff is so friendly, and you can tell how excited they are to share what's inside the store with their customers! I love being able to ogle over linens and art with the curators who assemble them together!

I spent time looking at the amazing vintage rugs, smelled every candle and body product, and gawked at the gorgeous office products I didn't know I needed (red mid-century modern stapler, I'm coming back for ya!!).

There is something here in everyone's price range, but please keep in mind, this is a bespoke store, so consider the artists, makers, and craftsmanship it takes to produce these items when looking at prices.

I left with a small gift for my friend (a set of 4 olive coasters), priced very fairly at $9. She loved them, and now I'm feeling I should have gotten a set for myself...

I can't wait to come back next time I'm in town and see what else...

My mom and I took a trip to Portland in December and one of the highlights of our trip was Viand. The curation of this store is top notch and I haven’t been in a store in years with this much attention to detail and truly amazing products. Everything from the tape dispensers, toothpick holders, hand embroidered table linens to a stunning Picasso print (that I still regret not purchasing) is perfection. It is all thoughtfully arranged and every piece is a 10/10 in quality. We loved it so much we went back 3 times during our trip there. Jenny and her team have created something so special and unique that I wish I had something like this near me. It’s worth your time to stop in and get inspired and support these amazing women and what they have created. A huge thank you to them all for reimagining retail in a way that is so unique...

What a gem of an addition to Portland! This is a can’t miss place to explore as a visitor to town, and a regular stop for locals. The shop itself is beautifully designed and each item is a clearly thoughtfully curated. With both unique antiques and new items it gives you the chance to find classic and exciting pieces over and over again. It’s obvious how much love and care the owners poured into building this. Can’t wait to...
