LUV Where u Live

Your daily cup of (en)courage.

A surprising number of good things begin with somebody sitting around holding a cup of coffee.

• What if we started a neighborhood tool library?

• What if we turned this vacant lot into a garden?

• What if we got six people together and actually fixed this thing instead of complaining about it?

This glossy black ceramic L♥V PDX mug is here for all of it.

Think of it as your daily affirmation to get out there and contribute something to the place you call home. Fill it with coffee, tea, cocoa — whatever helps move the idea from “somebody should” to “maybe I will.”

Drink up. Then go do the thing.

A clean, everyday tee that quietly says, “I’m gonna make something weird, and you should, too.”

Because very few of the things that make Portland Portland happen without somebody first saying, “Hey, what if we did this weird thing?”

Portland Winter Light Festival. Pickathon. The 24-Hour Louie Louie Marathon. Zoobomb. Tiny horses tethered to old metal sidewalk rings. You get the idea.

This soft, lightweight cotton tee is our little call-to-action to keep that spirit up, friends.

The smooth cotton surface keeps the print looking crisp, while a ribbed collar, tear-away label and comfortable everyday fit mean you can concentrate on more important matters. Like turning your garage into a letterpress studio. Building an enormous illuminated mushroom. Racing a Mt Tabor Soap Box Derby car. Learning to weld. Putting on a puppet show in somebody’s backyard. Whatever.

The point is: cool cities don’t make weird people. Weird people make cool cities.

So go forth. Have ideas. Make things. Invite people. Put up flyers. Volunteer. Start something ridiculous.

Pay it forward, one weird idea at a time.

Not everything worth saying needs to be printed six inches tall across your chest. Sometimes a small embroidered L♥V PDX badge gets the point across just fine.

This soft, midweight zip hoodie is made for the nine months of the year when Portland isn't hot — and the other three months when somebody says, “You might want to bring a hoodie.”

The classic 50/50 cotton-poly blend is warm, comfortable and easy to layer. Wear it for a volunteer shift, a First Thursday wander, or an evening when you left home at 72 degrees and it's suddenly 54.

Because being comfortable leaves more energy for the interesting stuff: paying attention, having ideas, and noticing what's fun and possible right in front of you.

Consider the little badge a quiet reminder that you don't have to change the whole world today. Your little corner of it will do.

Soft, lightweight crew tee that quietly encourages your friends and neighbors to stop trolling the KGW social media comment sections and start actually doing something to make this place we call home amazing!

The clean, square badge on the chest reads L♥V PDX in bold lettering… a modest way to agitate for positive change while on dog walks, neighborhood clean-ups, and rainy-day wandering. It feels lived-in from the first wear and keeps its shape through frequent washes. So folks can catch your Portland-luvvin’ vibe for a nice long time.

Wear it under a hoodie at your Polaris Hall gig, or alone on those painfully bright mornings that call for Bloody Marys at The Nitehawk.

Soft and unfussy — a perfect way to agitate responsibly.

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve.

We put ours approximately six inches above our eyebrows.

The embroidered L♥V PDX badge on this classic dad cap is a friendly little motto and call-to-action every time you look in the mirror. It’ll also appear in virtually every selfie you take while wearing it. Which seems like a pretty good return on your civic-pride investment.

Wear it forwards. Wear it backwards. Wear it while picking up trash on your block, riding across town, building something, going to a show, or standing around talking about the thing you’re definitely going to start doing next weekend.

Plus, it keeps the sun out of your eyes.

The only light we want you blinded by is inspiration.

Pull that brim down, look around your neighborhood, and ask yourself the question we hope lurks somewhere behind everything we make:

What could I do to make this place even better?

Then go do that.

Portland has approximately eleven months of weather that can be described as “maybe bring another layer.”

We made you one.

This medium-weight cotton long-sleeve has a slightly more substantial, vintage feel than your average tee — warm enough to take the edge off a chilly evening, easy enough to layer under your favorite jacket. And there on your chest, peeking out of your jacket, is the L♥V PDX badge: quietly reminding passersby (and perhaps even yourself) to keep showing up for the place you call home.

Fixing the thing? Building the thing? Volunteering for the thing? Standing around afterward talking about how surprisingly well the thing went?

This is your shirt.

Made from medium-weight 6 oz. cotton with a sturdy, lived-in feel that’s ready for layering, wandering and whatever else you’ve gotten yourself into.

Loving where you live isn't a spectator sport.

Roll up your sleeves.

You know those yellow bins we toss at the curb every week? This is just like that — except for your precious groceries and foodstuffs!

Who doesn’t need a sturdy everyday canvas tote that displays your city pride with quiet confidence? While also subtly suggesting to passersby that they should hop up and start making things happen in PDX! Snap, snap!

“Paper or plastic?”

Neither, my friend.  This LUVABLE TOTE BAG is natural heavy-weight cotton that holds its shape, while the flat-corner construction gives a clean, rectangular silhouette. Unlike store-bought $0.30 paper or plastic (oh, no!) bags, this one has wide fabric handles that stay comfortable while totin’ it up.

Plenty sturdy to transport a pile of old spoons and forks to your art welding class, streamlined enough to slip into your bike saddlebag, convenient enough to cram in some socks and shorts for a weekend at the coast. This Tote Bag fits into a life that values durability, design, and a little hometown luv.

Product features
- 100% heavy-weight cotton canvas (12 oz)
- 15 x 16 inches

Care instructions
- Do not iron directly over the printed area - Like you’re going to iron a tote bag, anyway!
