Best of the City! Portland Monthly Featured Sarah Bibb and Other WONDERFUL Portland Fashion Designers!

Photo By Holly Andres

Sarah is so excited to be a part of Portland Monthly's Best of the City!

Portland Monthly Style Editor Eden Dawn put together a great group of some of Portland's most celebrated fashion designers. We are SO lucky to live in a city where artists are encouraged to create their own businesses and lines. But of course, being a small business owner can be difficult! Recognizing the hard work that goes into each of these people's businesses is so important. When you take into account the amount of care and effort that goes into each and every garment they create, there's no way to take these amazing artists for granted. Remember to support your local artists so that we can continue to keep Portland Special!

New Styles by Sarah Bibb for Spring!

We have some early Spring arrivals at Folly! Sarah has been working extra hard on making new designs that have that extra special something. This year's new styles will have pretty, well thought out details. Only in the prettiest fabrics of course! 

Introducing... The Anca Skirt and the Melanie Top

The Anca skirt is a full and easy chiffon skirt. Perfect for twirling! 

So adorable with leggings and booties...and she'll be even better in sandal weather! 

Shop the Anca Skirt in Rojo

The Melanie Top is an easy blousey top with gorgeous details!

The sleeve has beautiful detail stitching. Drapes so perfectly.

Perfect tucked into a skirt, with your favorite jeans, or a cute skinny pant.

Shop the Melanie Top in Cloudy

The Anca Skirt is also adorable paired with our classic Caroline Tee!

We also got some adorable pieces from THML

Check it out! Springy and cute, this embroidered yoke top is so cute tucked into a full skirt, 

(like the Anca!) paired with jeans or your favorite summer pants.

Shop the Embroidered Yoke Top Here!

And last but not least...This adorable denim button down dress! 

So cute for Fall and Winter...bundled up with fleece lined tights and a big comfy cardi.

So cute for Spring and Summer too! Just roll up your sleeves and slip on your favorite sandals!

Limited Edition Hand Dyed Slips Made in Portland!

Sarah Bibb is famous for her slips. Walk into Anthropologie or Nordstrom's looking for one, and they will send you straight to Folly! We make our slips right here in Oregon. Each slip is made from fabric milled in the USA, and then hand dyed and cut by Sarah Bibb herself. Then she hands them over to Ying, our wonderful sewer! We love having a little Folly Family of makers. 

We only made an EXTREMELY limited run...which means there may only be ONE of your size in the color you want! Snatch up these beauties quick!

The True Cost

Here at Folly we tell people everyday that Sarah Bibb's line is made ethically, here in America, at a true living wage.

Have you seen the trailer for the documentary The True Cost? It explores the truth behind your cheap, and even not-so-cheap mass manufactured clothing! Made in the USA makes a huge difference.

The True Cost

Do you really want jeans made by workers making less than FIVE DOLLARS a day?! All while being beaten by their managers and working in awful and dangerous conditions...Think about it. 

Sarah Bibb cares about where her clothes are coming from. That's why she manufactures right here in Portland, Oregon with staff that she takes amazing care of! (Trust me, I would know!!!)

The Magical, Amazing, Mind-blowing AMANDA Dress!

The Amanda dress by Sarah Bibb is the most perfect dress ever designed! An easy short sleeve. Blouses just right while accentuating your waist with a thin, comfortable elastic waistband. The perfect just-around-the-knee length! Straight skirt that hangs just right and is never too clinging. With pockets! And of course in the softest knits only!

The Amanda comes in the perfect fabric just for you. Bold solids, fun prints, easy neutrals...we have it all :)

The Amanda in Cobalt is the perfect bright and sunny solid! This shade of blue looks good on everyone. 

Pair with a fun printed obi belt, or a contrasting cardi worn over her!

The Amanda in Black and Tan Floral is an easy classic. This dress and print will stand the test of time!
A little twist on classic Black and White, this print is so easy to wear!

Last but not least the Amanda in Pink Geo! A super fun and bright print on a black base to keep you grounded! Love this one. It's also made from a cotton blend! We know you love cotton!

The best part is...all of these dresses are Made In Portland! We have our very own "Factory" where our wonderful employees make these garments for you! Doesn't it feel good to know where your clothes come from?
