Shopping Guide John Blasioli + Liza Rietz

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Jul 9 at 11:26 AM

Another great store is coming to Portland at 2305 NW Savier. Local designers John Blasioli (whose a broken spoke clothing line is already an established presence in Portland’s retail market) and Liza Rietz (also a longstanding presence in better boutiques) are teaming up to open a retail space, where they’ll sell their work both off-the-rack and by custom order. Opening a business is a beast of a process, but right now they’re projecting late August for a possible debut. We’ll let you know when it’s nailed down.

who sells this broken spoke stuff?

He sells at Seaplane a bit, but your best bet is to speak to the man directly: jblasioli@abrokenspoke.com, especially as I'm sure he is transition with the new store in the works, especially if he plans on being the lone local supplier of his own work.
