    I mean the store is nice with a decent collection. It looks like a mother- daughter owner. I respect the small business hustle. It's mainly a women's store so I sat down as a silent observer while my wife browsed the racks. The old lady seemed to be spotting people and telling her daughter to keep eyes on them. It's street fair season, so I get it when large crowds come in. The old lady politely helped a tall blonde women, asking her if she wanted to try things on, flattering her. When my wife came around who is Asian and was browsing just the same as the other woman, the older lady approached my wife " what are you going to browse every rack?!" In a very naggy tone line she was handing my wife her hat to say. My wife responded saying she has a lovely collection. The own lady said well I select everything and buy it and pay rent. It's my store. I don't know if she had trauma or something but the variance in approaches was pretty stark. Hand your business over to your kid. It's nice. But you're driving people away reading other commenters. It's nice. You're not. Maybe there's a John Tapper bar rescue type person for retailers.

    Love this shop! We had a short wait to enter due to the pandemic and needing to socially distance, but once in we found so many nice things! They carry clothes, jewelry, face masks, handbags, sun glasses, reading glasses, and several other accessories. My daughter wanted a new backpack purse and couldn't decide between a few, all leather, that were all $58. (These are all new, not used.) She then saw one with several zipper compartments hanging higher up, and the owner offered it to her for $38! We also got a cute face mask and I got a great pair of large framed reading glasses. We definitely plan to return!

    Secret Closet is the best place in Lincoln Square. Thank your stars it's still there.

    5 stars Here we have one of the most dedicated, long-living merchant spots in Lincoln Square. I've lived here for 25 years, and this is my favorite of the entire neighborhood. Bravo Secret Closet! I LOVE you! Always will. Thanks for all of the years.

    Lindsay became my bff the second I walked in…read more So here's the sitch. Im visiting from NYC and getting a prdicure at a nail salon around the corner. Sitting next to Kat, we instantly start chatting up and talking about the neighborhood and our trip. We're in Chicago and then heading to Vegas for a festival which I still don't have an outfit for. And as luck would have it, she says she works at Felt around the corner and we should definitely head over! We head over to the magical world of Felt and meet the magical Lindsay. Lindsay was my fairy godbestie. She listened to where we were going, my style, and my body. I recently lost weight so I don't have lots of clothes or much style. Clothing shopping has always been tough for me. Lindsay pulled together pieces for me and set up a room. Cue the early 2000's movie changing room montage. Also did I mention the free champagne?! So I'm switching in and out of outfits for my partner and Lindsay to look at on the couch and big mirror which my partner and I drink champagne. I didn't even give Lindsay my sizes (because I don't even know my size anymore) and yet almost every piece fit. And every piece was a different size, medium, large, different numbers, etc. like is she a wizard?! We left the store with summer shorts, an awesome blue, strapless top that ties in the back, and a white skirt with black polka dots for funsies for work (great material, holds it's like 60s waves and is double lined so not see through) Not only did I walk out of there with clothes, but I walked out of there happy, with CONFIDENCE, and a beautiful sense sisterhood. Lindsay is such a girls girl. As a curvy woman, clothing shopping can be tough and disheartening. But if there was a Lindsay in every store, the world would be a better place. P.S. for Lindsay: Girl, the Vegas festival was CANCELLED. Can you believe it?! lol but don't worry I will still be wearing these pieces all summer! Thank you for everything!

    I love unique boutiques in town where you'll find pieces you'll be keeping for years to come no one…read moreelse will have. You'll find some friendly ladies inside that are willing to help you shop around & find pieces, or be left to wander on your own. I found a great summer party outfit I know I'll be keeping for a long time. Just be aware this store is on the higher end of things $$$. Sometimes you just have to treat your self.

Erik is awesome, it's like bringing your fashionable friend to go shopping with you, except that your friend has an intimate knowledge of the store's inventory and also happens to be a professional tailor. He pulled out a suit that I would not have considered on my own, but it turned out to be the PERFECT SUIT! It only needed a hem, which he did himself, pressed it and put it in a garment bag, and I picked it up a couple days later. The whole experience felt very comfortable. If you have social anxiety about asking for help in stores (not that I have any experience with that of course....), rest assured that I felt completely at ease here. And after several weeks of unsuccessful shopping in department stores, it was such a relief to find something that works. The shop is really cool, it's like what I imagine some fashion magazine's basement might look like. A little disorganized with hidden gems everywhere you look. There is a whole selection of sequined blazers that I'm dying to try on. I definitely plan to come back!
