Portland Trading Co

Found a beautiful soft sweater here, the vibes were immaculate. Would have stayed in the store longer if I wasn't busy. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in town, it's very cool.

Hands down my favorite shop in Maine. It’s worth a daytrip to Portland for the tastefully curated selection of goods from near and far; AND the conversation with Kazeem the sophisticated, humorous, world-travelling shop owner. It’s where I go every year to Christmas shop for all the men, family/friends. Really a jewel of a shop!!

Stopped in on a whim, and so glad we did. Kareem has gone out of his way to curate “the best of the best” so you don’t have to. I wanted one of everything - it’s that good. I am a scent girl, and I wanted to buy all the perfume, incense, and candles he had. The sustainable clothing by Bestiario is beyond beautiful and I got a gorgeous 100% cotton dress. If you find yourself in Portland, you better find yourself here in a hurry.

I take all my friends and family here when they come to visit, and it's always a great stop! Kazeem is one of the best people I've met in Portland and his taste is impeccable. He travels and sources his products for amazing makers around the work and designs a lot (all?) of the clothing. Portland Trading Co is a great instagram follow as a result!

I got a jumpsuit (pictured) for my bridal shower here and it remains one of my absolute favorite things in my wardrobe. Some other favorite purchases include a money clip that Kazeem designed, original Maine flag hat, sewing scissors, Maine the Way publications, and the soy candles that smell so good and last forever!

I've had friends who have gotten jackets, overalls, tshirts, etc and they wear them all the time. Seriously, stop in and check it out!

Absolutely wonderful shop. Perfectly curated selection of clothing, home goods, office goods, accessories and grooming supplies. Needed a few travel items for the rest of my trip and Kazeem had the best versions of what I needed and was quite helpful. Dynamite store.

THE SHOP IS IN A NEW LOCATION! We visit Kazeem whenever we're in Portland and nearly died when we saw the old location empty. The new shop is just around the corner and looks great! Fantastic collection of curated clothing, personal accessories, magazines, candles/incense, and men's grooming products. Kazeem is also always a pleasure to talk to and is super helpful.

I was a tourist visiting Portland with my partner for our honeymoon. We stumbled into Portland Trading Co. expecting another boutique shop offering similar items to the many stores it neighbors and we left with a refreshed attitude towards retail and the idea of "service." The owner, Kazeem, is an absolute delight. I overheard him with other customers and thought to myself, "If I owned a retail store, I would hire this guy." He was kind, polite, genuine and interested. The items in this store are specially curated and they all have a unique story and/or source. The prices in this shop also range from very approachable to luxury one-of-a-kind items. Upon leaving, and after hearing my partner and I were visiting for our honeymoon, Kazeem (the owner) walked over to one of his shelves and pulled off an item and offered it to us a gift. He knew were visiting and that we would probably never see him again: Knowing this and seeing his generosity in that moment meant the world. We will make a point to stop here again if/when we're back and we will also make it a point to shop with Portland Trading Co. and Kazeem when possible via online. Thank you for a great retail experience Portland Trading Co. and Kazeem. We hope many others find this great little store and have the same experience we did.

Kazeem was really kind and friendly. The shop is small but the small collections are really good quality and beautifully curated. Thinking of going back again for a beautiful pair of pants

I was in Portland a few weeks ago, and I absolutely love this store. The gentleman at the register (who I assume is the owner) is one of the most genuinely nice individuals I've ever encountered in a retail environment. I'm a retail analyst, and he left a lasting impression on me. Great style, impeccably dressed, and just...happy. Sometimes we forget that retail can be a lot of fun.

As for the store, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better selection of high-quality small goods in Portland. I enjoyed just exploring the store and looking at every little thing. The prices seemed reasonable too. I purchased an Ohto Dude fountain pen and added it to my existing collection. Under $30, nothing outrageous or overly fancy, but solid metal body and good results. I've used it in my home office for the last few weeks, and I've been impressed with the results. I keep one color in it, and another in my Lamy.

If you're a tourist, this is the place to visit for gifts. Trust me. Especially if you're a guy. But even if you're a woman, you'll find plenty to like here.

My girlfriend and I visited nearly every store in Portland during our trip, and we both agree that this was one of the best. I'd return in a heartbeat.

(if the owner reads this, keep up the good work!)

Love the unique selections Kazeem has curated. Fashionable women & men will love it here. Great Wall of home goods, and table full of interesting magazines, accessories and beauty & grooming items.

Kazeem welcomes you into his home whenever you visit Portland Trading Co. Well curated, you will always find something to take home or gift a special someone. Friends once described it as Kazeem's brain and it is, elegant, quirky and original. Visit Portland Trading Company and be smitten.

Portland Trading Co. is a great stop for menswear and men's accessories in downtown Portland. The shop is well-curated, with great brand across the board. Staff are quiet but helpful. Definitely worth a stop, but prices are in keeping with the quality of the merchandise.

Kazeem is a literal rock star of style and fashion, and a true gentle man!!! Respect!!! Stylish and visiting Portland Maine??? This is the place!!!

Every since the move to Market St. the Trading Co. has felt like a phoenix burst forth from the campfire of our yearning. Sun, Smiles, and smooth tunes, sometimes I just stop in with Kazeem (Let's face it, he's one of the coolest guys in the city of Portland.) Here's to many more years with this singular experience of a store.

Beautifully curated boutique. His collection is stylish and unique, the products are carefully selected, the arrangement is aesthetically pleasing and the music is amazing. Kazeem really creates an experience !

Super personable shop owner and intriguing goods. Stop in for a browse!

Don’t miss this special little shop

There is no better clothing store in Maine. Kazeem is an institution and a risk taker and has an amazing eye for what looks great. Go here, and come out looking and feeling better.

Unique shop/boutique that you can immediately tell is very carefully curated; you won't find just anything/every day items here. Stop in for a one-of-a-kind experience in Portland.
