Time Bomb Vintage

Time Bomb is one of the vintage stores that I just have to hit when I’m back home in Portland USA. They have an exceptionally well curated selection of men’s western shirts, denim jackets, shift dress, and cowboy boots. Last visit I waltzed out of Time Bomb with an ace denim jacket for 20 smackers, red wrangler daisy dukes that would be adorable if I was 10 years younger, and a super cute 60s shift dress. Still waiting for my time machine to whisk me back to 2004 so I could actually wear my red shorts, but everything else gets heavy rotation in my wardrobe.
Lovely staff and a cute warren of pink painted rooms makes Time Bomb a great place for a browse and a spree.

I love Time Bomb! With all the vintage Portland has to offer, it stands out as the place I never leave without a bag. Totally organized, clean, quality, wearable and reasonably priced. Searching through the colorful racks is just too much temptation. Even my boyfriend found some things for his wish list (with a birthday coming up), which says something, because he is not the most enthusiastic shopper. If you’re in the SE on a search for vintage it’s a must stop shop!

Loved being greeted with a friendly, welcoming smile! Great place to check out vintage togs and perfectly worn-​in leather boots. Good selection of mens stuff too. Didn’t find anything this time but will be stopping by next time we are in the neighborhood.

Like any other vintage store, this place can be hit or miss. It’s resale clothing! Some days you can come in and find a lot of stuff, other days not so much. But I consistently found things I liked here that were really affordable and just too cute to pass up. The store is really well organized, a problem some other vintage shops in Portland need to get on board with.
The staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend going in a at least couple of times. You’re bound to find SOMETHING in here.

This is a really cute vintage shop that has adorable dresses for the gals and shirts/​pants/​jackets for the fellas.
I happened to be waiting for the bus when I saw this place so decided to skip the bus and go shopping. Sadly, the items I tried on were not that flattering (vintage is always hit or miss) but they were still super cute.
The one downfall to this place is they only have one dressing room, so when I was there I waited 30 minutes before I could try on clothes as someone else was already in there.

Nothing special. I was hoping it would be better. Maybe a bad day???

Time Bomb is one of the best vintage shops I’ve stumbled across in Portland. The owner is friendly and has adorable taste in jewelry, glasses frames, coats, etc, which are all priced quite reasonably. I walked out with some fabulous schwag: a lovely umbrella, a very soft sweater, sweet and stylish glasses frames, a great bag, and the best freaking 80s earrings I’ve ever seen!

Probably my favorite vintage store in town – they have a really fun selection of clothes, and the store just keeps getting bigger! My favorite thing about it is that they always stock roper-​style western boots. I really, really love western wear…
Also, the owners are really nice!

As I sit in Haven, across the street from this place, I am antsy to dart over and go shopping because I know that Time Bomb is the most solid vintage store in Portland. Every time I go in, I end up with something (which is rare for me). The dudes that work there are always very friendly and based on my reviews, you know that is very important to me.
and they have SO. MANY. SHOES.
That’s it… I dont care if I need more coffee. I must go shopping now!

Loved, loved, loved Time Bomb Vintage! Their selection was wonderful, I walked into the dressing room with about 20 items. Too bad I’m kind of broke these days. I wanted it all but I settled for two sweaters and pair of black flats. My husband splurged on a flannel and western shirt. Usually, he has bad luck finding these items because they’re always too big.
The store is very organized and has many little «rooms» and fixtures to help you find what you’re looking for. The displays show off the best of the best and they don’t mind if you make them take apart a display so you can try something on. To my surprise, they also had a few children’s items displayed on the wall.
The sales girls were wonderfully helpful and all smiles. I felt very at home here, and was treated very well. I highly recommend you give this little shop a visit. They might just have that elusive vintage item you’ve been hunting down.

Solid resale store, rounding out the trifecta on Division. In addition to a good selection of wicked rad clothes, they also have TONS of shoes, in really good condition, and many purses/​bags.
Sadly, we voluptuous gals have a hard time finding stuff at resale/​consignment stores, who tend to buy smaller sizes, but this is definitely a good one to check out anyway. You never know what gems you might find. Seems like a good spot for the dudes, too. Lots and lots of men’s shirts, for good prices.

Flannel: In the Pacific Northwest, it’s not just a fabric — it’s a way of life. Time Bomb knows this. As such, it cuts out a lot of the shit us purveyors of the pattern have to sift through at other second-​hand shops — the ugly Cosby sweaters, the ironic ‘NSync concert tees — and offers up perhaps the greatest supply of throwback cowboy wear per square inch in Southeast Portland, if not the whole city. It’s not a huge store — it’s downright tiny, actually — but packs each rack with more quality Wrangler– and Ely Cattleman-​brand snap-​ups than far larger retro emporiums such as Buffalo Exchange and Red Light.
Highly recommended for all lumberjacks, cattle ranchers and aspiring alt-​country singer-​songwriters.

Time Bomb is super cute. They really cater to the 70’s-80’s era poly dress and sequin dream clothes. The prices are just about right and they have an adorable dressing room. The owner is a real nice lady and does not hover or bug you while you shop. Definitely worth stopping into!
