A Small Business with a Big Community

Like so many good stories, ours begins once upon a time... 2010 to be exact, in Portland, Oregon with a woman named Mary Ann. Mary had worked as a childrenswear buyer, searching near and far to find the very best kids' clothes. She had an eye for both fashion and function. She found some good clothes, but something told Mary that little on the market was right for Portland families.

"There's a hole in the market for quality, design-driven kidswear," she surmised.

The seed was planted, and Tinier Threads began to grow - initially as a mail-order business, soon followed by the opening of our first retail store.

Family is at the heart of everything we do, and we like to keep close to our origins. Tinier Threads now employs over 200 people. We're so proud by how much Tinier Threads has grown while staying true and local.

This sort of growth doesn't happen overnight, and it certainly doesn't happen unless you've got something unique to offer. What sets us apart is that our clothing meets the needs of young families at every stage in their lives. It's something we're really good at, probably because we're parents ourselves. We're passionate about bringing our loyal customers the best kidswear collections, season after season.
