They have a great selection of vintage pieces with a variety of sizes and styles. Racks are organized by eras, styles, and colors. The price points are reasonable for vintage clothing. Employees were friendly, helpful, and attentive. They're knowledgeable about the pieces, fashion, as well as ways to alter pieces to make them yours. Highly recommended!

Disclaimer: curated vintage shops are not going to be to everyone's tastes. The selection is…read morepurposefully curated, and it may be a style that isn't yours, which isn't a bad thing! I would say, for me, Lost Girls' style has SOME overlap with what I like to wear, so there were a few items that caught my eye and will have me coming back a few times a year. PLUS: size diversity, clean store, roomy changing rooms, well organized MINUS(?): I noticed a significant portion of the clothing was polyester or acrylic. I'm personally trying to avoid synthetic fibers and it felt like Lost Girls had more synthetic fibers than other vintage shops. Additionally, a lot of clothing items were missing their care instructions and/or the tags with fabric breakdown. Now, in the world of secondhand/vintage clothing, you'll come across this. At some point in some time, a previous owner removed them. However, just like with the synthetics, it FELT like there were more items missing this than I typically see in a shop. All in all, shopping here is an undeniably lovely experience. I recommend you stopping by, seeing if this is your style and trying on some things!

A few weeks ago I noticed a few racks of Eskell dresses/skirts at a Beta Boutique sample sale and I was hooked! Elegant, feminine, and unique pretty much sums up Eskell. Today I paid Eskell a visit and found more of their gorgeous clothing, as well as clothing from a few other designers and a few racks of cool vintage clothing. Everything is reasonably priced and even more so when it's all marked down like it was today. And Kelly (one of the designers/owners) was a doll! If Kelly and Elizabeth continue to design clothing this adorable I'll for sure be making this one of my frequent shopping destinations. Nice work gals!

They had 2 boxes of $25 rings plus others that were more expensive. I was able to ask questions and try as many as I felt like trying without feeling annoying.

Wow! What a great find!…read more I just happened to notice a vintage shop while I waited at a stop light. I visited my son and we decided to headover to check it out. The shop is filled with fun things. I loved the kitchy light up paintings. There were a ton of ashtrays, cocktail glasses, artwork, sculptures, furniture and more. The prices were very reasonable too. The owners were so nice. Melissa was so friendly and chatted with us about all kinds of things. I will definitely return to see what items they have gotten in and also to chat with the owners again. This shop is a great place for anyone looking for neat vintage pieces at decent prices.

Many of the little trinkets make references to the many things we love about Chicago. It's a great place to buy gifts for friends.

The cashier was super sweet and accommodating and offered to wrap up the items I had planned of gifting to friends. They prefer cash and charge a 3% service fee on cards.

I've…read moredriven by Ravensgoods so many times; if it wasn't here before I moved to the neighborhood, it opened shortly thereafter. This very tiny shop has a variety of items that would be perfect if you need to pick up a gift for someone. They have candles, greeting cards, jewelry, and several baby items. I ended up buying a cute little onesie that has is designed to look like the Chicago flag but with hearts in place of the stars. it's so cute and I can't wait to put it on my little ones. They had several other onesies that were cute. I mentioned to the shopkeeper that I wanted to get a little bean onesie, and she mentioned they carry them but they sell out so quickly and the woman who she gets them from is backed up in stock.It makes sense to me because they're adorable! I didn't realize they had them here so it's good I could pick it up from here if I can't find it elsewhere. Parking is on the street BUT you're in luck because the Brown Line station is half a block away. There's also street parking on Damen and possibly the surrounding streets (not sure, but because it's near a train station I'd suspect it might be permit parking on the side streets).

So it's a very specific type of woman who would enjoy shopping here, but if you are that type of woman, the staff are friendly and things are well organized.

If you're looking for cool archival pieces, you'll want to look elsewhere.
