Biker grunge is taking the Pacific Northwest by storm and customers in Seattle can’t get enough of this rock and roll trend. This retro resurgence of isn’t going anywhere and we’re not at all mad about it. To rock the 90s biker grunge trend, stop by your local Buffalo Exchange for a selection of Harley Davidson tees and primo leather goods.

90s Biker Grunge Essentials: Harley Davidson T-shirts

Harley Davidson T-shirts are the ultimate staple item for that 90s biker grunge look. Pair them with a leather mini skirt, worn-in denim cutoffs or the perfect pair of overalls and you have an easy day-off uniform.

Moto Jackets

The moto jacket has become the closet cure-all. Raid your dad’s closet (or your local Buffalo Exchange) and pull this wardrobe staple out the archives. (Who are we  kidding? It never really went out of style.) Forget any rules about clashing – the motorcycle jacket goes with any outfit, classy or casual.

If you’re looking for solid spring street style, a Buffalo Exchange company meeting is better than Paris Fashion Week.

Our associate manager Monica Dam has worked at Buffalo Exchange since August 2, 2014. She started as a buyer and enthusiastically took on the challenges of being a manager when the associate position opened up in December 2014. She grew up in Ballard, not far from our store, and has never strayed far from the city that she loves. Her love of fashion didn’t start at Buffalo Exchange 10 months ago; it simply gave her an opportunity to explore new fashion territory. She grew up shopping at the U-District store, always searching for a new treasure that she could add to her wardrobe. Of course she was more than delighted when a Buffalo opened up in her Ballard neighborhood.

Haven’t you “herd”? Ballard was the place to be Sunday! Everyone was out and about with beautiful spring bouquets from the farmers market, puppies, and vinyl from the local record stores—the perfect additions to a 70s-inspired look! Our Airstream trailer was ready to complete any 70s transformation with a colorful array of items: a blouse embroidered with strawberries, a peach floor-length kimono, and cowboy boots as far as the eye could see. Even a regular customer’s pooch, Abbi, went home with some fun southwestern handkerchiefs! Old and new shoppers alike were ecstatic to see the beautiful artwork adorning the trailer, learn more about our roots, and help themselves to some delicious cookies and cake! It was the perfect sunny Sunday to celebrate 40 treasure-filled years at Buffalo Exchange!

It is cold up in the Pacific Northwest and we are all about layers! We are seeing a lot of shoppers shaking it up with patterns and bright colors to make our gray days more fun. Also many shoppers are adding a vintage and more dapper flair to their outfits, think Donald Draper meets lumberjack. And Seattle just wouldn’t be Seattle without an awesome selection of Dr. Marten’s. We see them in all varieties, including these killer snakeskin kicks.

In the eccentric Scandinavian community of Ballard winter is here. Layering is the name of the game this year. We are seeing this trend in neutrals, blacks, pops of colors and metallic.  Women are drawing inspiration from witchery and magic; crosses, layering of sheer fabrics and mixed leather outerwear completes these looks. Oversized chunky knit sweaters with funky patterns are also making a comeback in full force. “Cozy Chic” describes these fearless women braving the cold weather accessorizing with beanies, scarves and pumpkin spice lattes. Tribal print has expanded since summer, leaving behind bright neon hues, to flourishing on young women in all shapes and sizes. From ponchos to leggings, this print shows it really can shine through multiple seasons.
