This modern general store is bringing a variety of independent designers and eclectic small makers to the Windy City. Their sophisticated selection of minimally designed jewelry, accessories, apparel, apothecary, stationery and housewares is seriously amazing. The boutique was founded in 2014 by Kristen Basilo, an expert visual merchandiser, so it’s no wonder the interior is just as rad as the stuff on the shelves. The variety of products is extensive, but every object is mindfully hand picked to compliment each other. We love this Chicago gem for keeping things simple with pared down wares and a carefully curated mix of amazing labels like Baggu, Komono and People I’ve Loved.

Territory is a collaborative design company and shop which brings to market a mix of original designs, vintage pieces and curated goods. With studios in Asheville, NC and Chicago, it is co-owned and cared for by Rebecca Crall and Summer Wember.
