Elk Vintage, a new vintage clothing boutique curated by Bend residents Jeni Gallacher and Andria Hattenhauer, is set to open its first brick-and-mortar store on May 1st in the Old Mill District's historic Little Red Shed building. The 400-square-foot shop will feature a curated mix of one-of-a-kind vintage clothing, accessories, and home goods sourced from across Oregon and beyond.

Why it matters

The opening of Elk Vintage brings a new retail category and unique shopping experience to the Old Mill District, one of Bend's most popular commercial hubs. The boutique's focus on high-quality, eclectic vintage pieces aligns with the district's emphasis on local, independent businesses and its historic character.

The details

Elk Vintage was founded by Bend residents Jeni Gallacher and Andria Hattenhauer, who previously hosted pop-ups and participated in local markets across Central Oregon. The 400-square-foot store will be located in the Little Red Shed, a historic building on the south end of the Old Mill District that dates back to the early days of the Brooks-Scanlon mill. Elk Vintage will feature a curated mix of vintage clothing, accessories, and small home goods, with Gallacher's rock-n-roll aesthetic complementing Hattenhauer's more classic style.

  • Elk Vintage is scheduled to open on May 1, 2026 during the Old Mill District's First Friday Art Walk celebration.
