Woman Owned & Local
Ecru is owned by LeAnn Dolan who lives in Portland, Oregon. LeAnn was born in Oregon and her roots run deep here and as a shop keep. Her Grandfather, Ellis Dolan, owned and operated Dolan Serfling General Store in Gardiner, Oregon beginning in the 1930’s and she continues the tradition with her own shop since 2006. A treasure that knits them together today is Ellis’ original store counter built from good old Oregon Douglas Fir that is now in our south waterfront store and we love it so much!
Makers and Artisans
Ecru supports and celebrates talented people with our curated offerings from near and far. Our DNA is local, and we are endlessly searching out and supporting local makers and artisans from Portland and Pacific Northwest. Our pursuit of fine things for our shops is boundless and we find them here, all over the US and around the World.
Giving back
Ecru believes in giving back to our Community and since our inception we have contributed to many organizations that are doing good things such as Friends of Doernbecher Dru’s Chapter, Jr. League of Portland and Feral Cat Coalition.
We are committed to recycling, reduced waste, bee friendly and doing good things and so we search out and support makers, vendors and businesses who share our point of view.
