DESCRIPTION

Juniper’s Spartan, uncluttered, space has concrete floors, natural wood display shelves, and a sleek black bench seat. The simplicity of the decor reflects owner Lisa Clinton's philosophy about her shop. "Designers who consider the whole process of their creativity rather than the end result create special and more valuable items. I'm drawn to designers whose clothing is going to last through trends and I'm especially interested in those working to tread more lightly on the planet," says Clinton.

You'll find Loomstate organic cotton denim ($155), American Apparel long tanks ($22), sophisticated Undesigned dresses by Carol Young ($240), bright block-print spring dresses ($260) and tops ($172) by Virginia Johnson, and Parisian canvas totes in floral prints by Dominque Picquier ($185). Of special note is clothing by Portland designer Anna Cohen. Cohen's designs prove that you can simultaneously be green and utterly chic. Cohen estimates 75 percent of her business practices are sustainable, from recycled business supplies to production and shipping. She uses mill-end fabrics -- "leftover" fabric that would go to waste -- in her designs and eschews dyes that impact the environment.

For the home, Clinton carries rugs ($172), pillow cases ($120), and ottomans ($340) made from vintage Indian fabric by Matta, and vintage fabric napkins and kitchen and bath towels from Transylvanian Images ($16-$88).
