This review is for artists thinking about applying for this scam of an event! I've done some…read morepretty big art shows over the years--Sedona Art Show, Tubac Art Festival, Fourth Street Avenue in Tucson.... All of them had high booth fees, sure, but not one of them was $2,500. And every single one offered perks: free coffee, donuts, water, lunch--something that showed they valued the artists. They gave us nothing, not even the cute bag the customers get. And by the way, there is admission for the customers to get in. I think it was $25. This event packed in over 600 vendors, and while I originally thought being accepted meant they loved my designs and the show was fully juried, I found out they were still letting people apply the week before. That was disappointing, to say the least. I did well with the customers who actually made it back to the very last row--those who found me truly appreciated my work. Their comments were exactly what I hoped for. But here's my honest question for those who do this show every year: why? There's simply no way to justify a $2,500 booth fee plus all the extra expenses like parking, hotel, very pricey food costs. So I'm left wondering... is this show more about status than sales? A "Look, I'm in the One of a Kind Show!" kind of thing? I felt scammed and quite embarrassed that I did the show!

The shirt is one that the owner specifically brought back for me from Japan, which was really kind of her -- it wasn't something she otherwise carried, and she went out of her way to get it for me. It remains the case that if you go for a really subtle, muted color palette -- but the solution of an all-black uniform does not appeal to you -- this store is a treasure. Lots of earthy greens and browns, burgundies, multiple shades of navy: basically, the longtime menswear color palette but for women. Really nice timeless styles and high quality fabrics. I commented in my earlier review that this is a store for people willing to take care of their clothes and that remains the case. Hand-washing or delicates washing (in a mesh bag) and hanging to dry will go a long way to extending the life of these clothes. Given the price point, the goal should be to maximize wears! I can't remember the first thing I bought here, but I definitely have pieces from Moth in active rotation that are 4-5 years old.

I came here for the first time last summer when visiting Chicago and it was on the list of places to go for my current visit. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Put the tracking number I was given into my UPS app, but the app never updated me, which I thought was strange. Several days later, I checked my UPS app and it showed my order was delivered the day before, to a different city in Illinois. When I tried to view the delivery photo, the app showed that I needed to enter an email address with a different domain than my email address. I called the Wicker Park store, which is the main storefront, and said that it appeared they had sent my order to someone else. The person who answered the phone could not have cared less, told me there was nothing she could do, and I needed to call their shipping service. I asked if they were a vendor, and the store said yes. I asked who had the authority to resend my package, and they said it was up to the shipping service. I told them they were the store that sold me the item and if they were not going to ensure I received it, I was going to file a Better Business Bureau complaint, which I since have done. I called the shipping service and they told me they were actually part of the company, not a vendor. It would have been helpful for the person answering the phone at the actual store to know that, which they did not. I gave the shipping clerk my order number, and they confirmed that my package had been sent to somebody else, living at an address in Wilmette. I asked how that happened, and they told me that the printer they use for shipping labels sometimes prints duplicate labels, and this has happened before. They offered to re-ship my item but in order to ensure I actually got it, I had to make a special trip to their Andersonville store in the middle of another snowstorm to pick it up in person, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. My question is, if they know their shipping label printer is screwed up, and they keep occasionally sending orders to the wrong people, why don't they just replace the printer? Why did it fall on me, and I'm sure other customers, to figure out they had sent my order to an incorrect address, and then to have to essentially beg across two phone numbers to finally receive the order I had paid for? Lots of completely unnecessary stress because this store is too cheap to fix what they know is an ongoing, not insignificant problem. Knowing that they occasionally send things people have already paid for to other people and don't care to fix that issue? That's why I submitted my Better Business Bureau complaint.
