Shop the West Loop

editor — Tue, 11 May 2010 12:19:25 +0000

The West Loop is a shopping jewel in the rough. The industrial district is home to a quality selection of designer boutiques with their own individual aesthetic and selection. Fix, Koros, Tribecca, Two Sisters, and Heidi Hess are a few of the stores with the power to induce a credit card charge or two. This week, you’ll have the opportunity to visit all these stores and reap some discounts at two shopping events: Walk the West Look and Explore Fulton Market.

Walk the West Loop is Thursday night from 5-9pm and participating boutiques include Fix, Koros, Spex, The Oprah Store, Tribecca, Solo Salon, Two Sisters, The Fig Tree, Taköhl, Smitten, and Lumiere. Spend your evening getting up to 20% off select merchandise and sipping complimentary cocktails.

Saturday from 12-5pm is Explore Fulton Market. The West Loop’s Fulton Market District invites shoppers to see what the area has to offer at its annual Spring Afternoon Open House. Shops and galleries—including Fix, Koros, Mars Gallery, Jan’s Antiques, Heidi Hess Designs, and more—will offer up to 20% off select merchandise.

Not a bad way to make your rounds through the West Loop, huh?
