about us

MACHUS is a family-owned boutique in the thriving
West End of downtown Portland

Justin Machus opened his first store Local35 in 2003. He closed that chapter in 2011 and started a new journey with his self-titled store MACHUS.

Opened November 11th, 2011, MACHUS has a goal of creating a boutique with the most compelling designers in the contemporary fashion market.
We often forgo working with obvious larger labels to select upcoming, emerging designers. Personal connection is of the utmost importance and with smaller brands we have the opportunity to know the designers and hear their story. We believe in every brand we sell and feel that our designers are the most progressive minds in fashion.

Our Private Label offers some of the finest core items in the industry
and is constantly evolving in new fits, washes and categories.

If you have any questions about ordering, sizing, or general comments, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@machusonline.com
