Looking for that special something for that special someone?
With Mother’s Day coming up, Odd Kloset, a new trendy thrift boutique in Stayton might just be the place to find it, said co-owner Kayla Delfino.
“Odd Kloset is a thrift boutique that has things like clothes, shoes, accessories, home decor and lots of others merchandise at a fair price and great quality,” Delfino said. “We use the term boutique because we also carry high-end items that still hold a great price without the hassle of online selling or paying full price.”
The Odd Kloset team consists of mom Krista Russell, daughters Kendra Russell, Kylee Russell, Kayla Delfino, and longtime family friend, Traci Ferrando.
The “c” in closet was replaced with a “k” as most of the group’s names begin with that letter, and, additionally, Delfino said, “We have all been known to be a slightly rambunctious and quirky group of women that have a passion for the better part of retail, which of course, is the shopping, and we show it in our styling in all aspects. Each one of our styles is very different but we believe it to be a benefit to our store, as it gives variety.
“We wanted to have an environment that was inviting, friendly, and completely family oriented. Plus, we want to love our job, not dread it. Shopping second hand is a thrill to us because finding all kinds of things new and old can make purchasing truly exciting for us.”
Overtime, the five women collected enough to finally open a shop in March of this year and share their finds with the community, Delfino said.
“We also unfortunately lost the family father last year which has given us a chance to really come together as a family and take advantage of an opportunity that scares us but also excites us,” she added.
The women specialize mostly in women’s clothing but are trying to work on generating a better men’s section.
“We do take donations,” Delfino said. “We also do in-store credit for what we take in, if interested! We also carry other things like accessories including jewelry, hats, scarves and all sorts of home décor. Even trinket-type things as well as vintage items and high-end merchandise.”
Currently, the team is not doing consignment, but have considered it, according to Delfino.
Feedback, she added, has been “absolutely amazing.”
Anissa Bosch posted on the Odd Kloset Facebook page, “Had the best experience here, and you gals are the kindest!”
Alana Starr loved her first “trip in.” She plans to be a regular customer, saying, “Cute things and very reasonable.”
The women had been looking for locations all around different areas before deciding on Stayton.
“We were unsuccessful mostly because of pricing or the area was not a fit for us,” Delfino said. “We found an ad for the location we are currently in within downtown Stayton and took a look. We immediately fell in love and knew that it would be a great place to start. We absolutely love the building owners because they have been wonderful during the entire process and incredibly kind, and we give thanks to them for the opportunity they truly gave us.”
Odd Kloset is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 193 N. Third Ave., next to Napa Auto. Odd Kloset’s Facebook presence updates clients on offerings, times and latest changes. For information, call
