Ecru Modern Stationer

Precious and small, Ecru Modern Stationer is a gem in Portland’s Pearl District—an area known for housing some of the city’s most upscale stores and restaurants.

The store’s owner LeAnn Dolan has taken years to cultivate the perfect recipe—two parts sweet, one part funny, and a big splash of color—to keep customers coming back again and again.

After more than a decade in the stationery business, inspired by a belief in the power of a handwritten note, Dolan opened her store in 2006.

The boutique, known for its selection of eye-catching stationery, also specializes in creating custom invitations which are built upon the classic foundation of ecru—the very light brown shade of raw paper.

Along with its ever-changing gallery of greeting cards, Ecru carries an assortment of gifts that are sure to bring smiles.
