About WanderLuxe Boutique

WanderLuxe Boutique is an independent women’s clothing and lifestyle store located at 1920 Main Street in Forest Grove, OR 97116. Founded in 2019 by local resident and entrepreneur Samantha Reyes, the boutique specializes in fashion-forward clothing, accessories, and home goods that combine West Coast casual with upscale urban edge. In just five years, WanderLuxe has emerged as a standout in Oregon’s indie fashion scene—earning accolades for its ethical sourcing, community outreach, and immersive shopping experience.

Positioned as both a physical storefront and a thriving e-commerce platform, WanderLuxe Boutique has leveraged the power of social media to gain a substantial following beyond Forest Grove, particularly on Instagram and TikTok, where its “Outfit of the Day” reels and sustainability spotlights are regular fan favorites.

Fashion With a Foundation: The Story Behind the Brand

Samantha Reyes didn’t always plan to open a boutique. A former fashion merchandiser in Portland, she returned to her hometown of Forest Grove to be closer to family and found herself longing for a space where self-expression met sustainability. After spotting an empty retail bay on Main Street, Samantha decided to bring her vision to life. She dreamt of a space where modern design met small-town heart—a place where women of all ages could find pieces that made them feel confident and connected.

“For me, WanderLuxe is about more than fashion,” Samantha says. “It’s about creating a sense of belonging. Whether someone comes in to try on jeans or just needs a chat over free coffee, they know this is a safe, stylish space just for them.”

Each piece in the shop is handpicked by Samantha and her team with an eye toward quality, fit, and sustainability. Brands carried by WanderLuxe include some of the top names in ethical fashion, such as Able, Levi’s Water

Unique Offerings & Seasonal Collections

A Curated Closet on Main Street

WanderLuxe specializes in a capsule wardrobe philosophy—meaning their offerings are designed to work together for maximum versatility. Expect seasonally updated collections of denim, cozy knitwear, soft organic cotton basics, and statement pieces like silk kimonos or embroidered jackets. The boutique has also expanded its collection of size-inclusive offerings, ranging from XS to 3X, a commendable step toward accessibility in fashion retail.

Lifestyle Meets Local

In addition to fashion, WanderLuxe carries a curated assortment of lifestyle products, including:

  • Soy wax candles from Portland-based Wild Light Candle Co.
  • Small-batch skincare by Herbivore Botanicals
  • Locally handcrafted ceramic mugs and incense holders
  • Jewelry made by Forest Grove artisans under the WanderLuxe “Local Gold” program

Their recent launch of the “Autumn Adventures” capsule—complete with vegan suede jackets, oversized scarves, and earth-toned layering tees—has been a visual and social media hit. Models representing a diverse range of ages, sizes, and backgrounds show off the pieces during monthly “First Friday” styling events that draw crowds of over 200 people.

The Community Connection

Community is woven deeply into the fabric of WanderLuxe Boutique. Samantha and her team regularly participate in and sponsor local events, from Forest Grove’s summertime wine walks to Pacific University’s student arts expos. In 2023, WanderLuxe officially partnered with the nonprofit “Dress for Dignity,” donating hundreds of clothing items to help local women re-enter the workforce.

The store also hosts “Wander Nights,” free monthly gatherings featuring live music, style consultations, and fundraising raffles for local causes. Earlier this year, a $2,000 donation went to the Forest Grove Food Bank, funded from sales during one weekend event.
