Lluvia Morello, owner of Indigenous Come-Up, took note of her mother, a vendor at the Portland Saturday Market, for 20+ years. In addition to familiarity with markets, Lluvia worked in the Downtown core in various capacities before creating Indigenous Come-Up, including a baker at the Hilton, a few blocks away from her new pop-up location.
“Our products are handmade. Our products represent the individual cultures that connect us, and we connect to those products as well,” says Lluvia. The shop is packed with handmaid bags, scarves, jewelry, journals, various artworks, and aromatics.
Before COVID, Indigenous Come-Up relied solely on income through events and marketplaces. “When Covid hit, all of our events were canceled. It was devastating.” As luck would have it, the business began to offer online sales with support from various grants.
“There is still little work needed to process online orders, so without this PDX Pop-Up, our business would have taken a huge loss this holiday season.” The Portland Business Alliance is excited to have Indigenous Come-Up as part of the 2021 PDX Pop-Up cohort, and they have our full support.
