EXPORT

Cofounder Seth Neefus says Red Clouds Collective’s chic-but-bohemian bags and other accessories were “made for the Portland lifestyle.” After a spring debut, the line has attracted retail followings in New York, San Francisco, and Amsterdam. Neefus’s garage off NE Alberta Street serves as the operation’s workshop. redcloudscollective.com
