CR Hollis
Portland, OR
2021 - Present
CR Hollis is my namesake clothing brand, where I design and sew one-of-a-kind, small-batch pieces crafted from upcycled materials.
The brick-and-mortar and online shop featured a curated selection of clothing, jewelry, and homewares from around 20 independent designers. As a shop owner, I organized a series of events and activations in collaboration with local makers, fostering community and driving engagement. I developed SEO-optimized website copy and product descriptions, along with compelling social media content that attracted new customers and boosted business growth.
“A handful of local designers, ceramicists, candlemakers and jewelers are sharing space at CR Hollis, which opened this spring on N Williams. It’s the brainchild of Portland artist CR Hollis, who sells her own original designs and reimagined vintage pieces in the snug, sunny storefront. There’s both an edge and an ease to the clothes on display—you’ll need some swag to pull off a pair of Hollis’s crushed velvet ruffle pants, or relax into the one-size-fits-all patchwork tie-front dress in black and cream from Ersa Fibers.”
