SIR & MADAME is this beautiful boutique in Chicago that I was informed about from my friend and yogi Margo Kellison. You walk into the shop and you feel the thoughtfulness of their design and concept. You almost feel at home or at a stylish friends home. I was first and immediately drawn to their weekend bags and laptop/work bags which are on display for their Wartime Collection event. I'm even considering getting a friend one of the bags because I know that if I give it as a present that it'll be so well received (maybe I want someone to give it to me? #hintmuch?) Their new collection is inspired by old wartime design. Its almost romantic and whimsical in the way they went about preserving some sense of luxury from that era and not being overtly "vintage" feeling which can often times (for me) be off-putting. Their boutique carries some of my favourites and new favourites: Cheap Monday, Tanner Goods, Finn, 3Sixteen, Left on Houston, Red Wing Shoe Company, Thorocraft Shoes, Osborn Design Shoes, Marais Shoes, Cubannie Links, Found Objects, Han Cholo, Yana Hanbags, Happy Socks, and Vintage Eyewear.
I also got to meet Autumn who one half of the company, lovely to meet you Autumn!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE OSBORN SHOES
each shoe is handmade in Guatemala and signed by the artisan that made it.
