There is not an APC shop located in Chicago however, I do know of a nice place in Wicker Park by the name of Penelopes that carries loads of APC gear. They are located on Division St about a block East of Damen. There are other interesting boutiques in the area (on North Ave as well as Milwaukee) so if you decide to spend an afternoon here, it is worth a trip! Enjoy!

Nice! Just checked the site out recently and quite like their things!! Good to know they are opening a shop in NYC - I'd like to check it out when visiting!

Of all the big cities, Chicago is definitely the most conservative. That said, it is a great city, growing at a rapid speed, and loads more room to expand on many fronts >>Fashion/cuisine/music etc. It's not as bad as Scientific mentioned. You just have to know where to look and clearly, create your own unique style. In fact, just today I was at an all day sample sale put on by Billion Dollar Babes. Superb cutting edge, higher end clothing/shoes/jewelry/bags etc. I got a pair of Paper Denim & Cloth jeans for a mere $75!! Again, it's all about where you are looking!! The list above contains some great shops with more one-of-a-kind finds, if that is what you are looking for. Happy shopping!!
