Queen Bee Creations (Portland, Oregon)

Rebecca Pearcy started Queen Bee Creations in a corner of her bedroom 14 years ago. Since then, her business has grown beyond her expectations. Queen Bee has 14 employees and a large number of local vendors and suppliers. Their signature pvc-free faux leather handbags, wallets and purses are handmade in Portland, Oregon and sold all over the world. Pedestrians can watch the products being made through large windows as you walk by Queen Bee on N. Williams Ave. You can shop at their new showroom or online at http://www.queenbee-creations.com.

Queen Bee received a grant and loan package from the Portland Development Commission that consists of working capital, tenant improvement assistance and a storefront improvement matching grant. Queen Bee Creations is located at 3961 N Williams in Portland, Oregon.
