I found a vintage 100% leather Wilsons Leather piece for $34, originally $48. Apparently they had a 30% off clothing and Christmas decor sale- our lucky day! The jacket was made for me, I swear it. I also got a couple cute ornaments and one will replacement a corporate one that I now get to return. Plus the one at Avenues is a 10th of the price, 10x better quality, and supports adults with disAbilities. And we love that. Happy shopping!

It's got a nice selection of Chicago souvenirs and a large variety of artisan goods (candles, jewelry, stationery, art, etc).

The basic premise is that its a store that showcases Chicago based items and Chicago based companies. I really like it because its a great place to buy a unique gift for somebody. I would say most of the items lean towards "home goods", but if you ever need something for a housewarming party or need that last minute birthday gift, this place has you covered. If there is any "downside" is that their items tend to be a little bit on the expensive side. That really shouldn't be surprising as it is a small business supporting other small businesses. I also wish they had wider hours, but the foot traffic might not call for it. If you are looking for a cool Chicago gift for yourself or somebody else, I would highly recommend checking this place out! They are very nice and have some really good finds!

They have an amazing selection of vintage clothing, belts, and various knickknacks. Everything is curated beautifully and I'm always able to find something unexpected. The basement is full of books, records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and miscellaneous home goods. I didn't get the chance to get the woman who was working there's name, but she was very welcoming and kind - I was in the basement going through the books for well over an hour, and I never once got the vibe that I was overstepping. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out.

Almost unbelievable. Staff is friendly, keep items organized and the place stays well stocked it seems. I find anything from houseware, to decor, to clothes every time. A great selection of toys as well. During the holidays this year, they even had a Santa sitting and reading stories with free pictures. It was very sweet- and free!
