In many ways this lovely boutique feels like an art gallery with its white walls, minimal displays, open space and beautiful hanging pieces. Judith opened its doors in late April 2014 in Portland’s Old Port neighborhood. The curated collection of products focuses on women’s contemporary clothing, accessories and special objects. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find your new favorite cardigan, a unique pair of slides and one-of-a-kind earrings all at once. Carrying an assortment of all our favorite designers, this place is the real deal.

Designer Ulla Johnson had somewhat of a bohemian upbringing. She was raised by two archaeologists and spent much of her childhood traveling. Her nomadic history helped to shape her design POV and in 2000, immediately after graduating from university, Ulla launched her first eponymous label. Since then the Ulla Johnson name has become synonymous with fine tailoring, detailed embroidery, natural fabrics and a careful focus on fit and form. Having launched its first shoe collection in the fall of 2013, the line now includes a full selection of products with an emphasis on artisanal craftsmanship and handmade processes.
