I wanted to try on a dress that was on a mannequin, and I was asked 'are you even sure it's going to work for you? Anyways, it is too hard to take off.' and then she told me I could come back in a week and it would maybe be off the mannequin. Pretty rude. read more

I am new to the area and It was my first time visiting this shop. Unfortunately, I came in and felt completely unwelcome. There were two women working and they didn't even bother to say hello. I stayed for a few minutes and left. Maybe I will try it again because I did see somethings I might have purchased if the experience would have been different. read more

Everything, I donate and buy. Wonderful charity benefits our community. Go often the great stuff moves fast.

I live in Old Town and am lucky to be able to frequent this sartorial wonderland. In the last two years I have created for myself a fashionable, and designer, wardrobe that I never would have had the opportunity to build without this jewel of a shop! Merci Beau Coup benefits Mercy Boys and Girls home. They are not a typical consignment shop and are not profiteers. The ladies who staff it will offer you as much creative guidance as you need or will happily just stand back as you roam on your own. A one-of-a-kind experience worth the trip! read more

They have a great selection of cool men's clothing. Overall a lot of stables and accessories. It's all very well priced and there are sales on items too! Love the service we got, every time we go in the workers are the best and most helpful. read more

Cute, small shop that sells a variety of secondhand clothes for men and women. The quality of the clothing overall is high, and there is a good mix of everyday brands with higher-end designer options. I think shoppers age 30+ would find clothing here to suit their style. The prices are not as low as a place like Goodwill, but I'd say the quality of the clothes overall is much higher. I paid $25 each for two cocktail dresses in perfect condition. read more

Service is friendly. Nice merch at good prices! Be sure to look at what's in the armoire.Open everyday except Monday.

They have great pieces for great value. Really nice sales too! The people are super nice in there

It was just after lunch while passing through Lincoln Park on a recent Saturday, and my friend and I decided to pass the time with a little browsing through boutiques. The Mercy Boutique popped up on Yelp when we did a search, and after learning that it not only sells high-end consignments in a boutique-like setting, but that it also supports charity, we decided to check it out. Down a small set of stairs, it's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a special offer, then browse away. The clothing is clean, nicely presented, and the racks are not overstuffed. I saw a number of high-end brands while I was there (most notably a gorgeous quilted Burberry jacket that I'm still thinking of), and clothing for women as well as men and children. There's a small changing room if you want to try things on while you're there as well. They had some cute items, maybe a little more pricey than what I'm used to (but that could be the norm in a bigger city like Chicago), and it would definitely be worth stopping in to see what they have when you're in the neighborhood. You might just be able to look good and do good at the same time! read more

Cuuuuu-uuuuuuute! I was pretty excited to get a resale shop in the neighborhood because a) seriously there is no place to buy shoes nearby, and b) you can often times find a lot of cute one-of-a-kind vintage finds at retail shops. Mercy Beaucoup is a clean, well-appointed, adorable shop on Wells Street. Just make sure you look for the stairs for the "garden level" shops on the east side of the street. I was delighted to see that they carried shoes by Salvatore Ferragamo, Tory Burch, and Kate Spade. Their prices are reasonable (very reasonable). Best part of all is that it supports Mercy Home for Boys & Girls and is staffed by friendly young men and women from Mercy Home. Great organization. Super-cute store. And, did I mention that they're having a sale for the summer? 20-30% off. Heeeey-o! read more

Soo glad I found this boutique! I've been here a handful of times now, and I always left with a few goodies from Mercy Beaucoup. Once I found a Burberry scarf for $50! The people who work here are always very sweet and helpful. Make sure you come towards the end of the week as they get new shipments on Tuesday and slowly unpacked them. But the manager lady told me to check in weekly because you never know what goodies you would find here. I am a little disappointed with their xs and small selections here though. They seem to get taken quickly. I guess you just have to come at the right time to score them. Join their email list to find out sales event. I attended the holiday sales party and they have delicious cookies, coffee, and san pellegrino while you shopped. I also love their frequent shopper program. read more

I scored some beautiful Dries Van Noten shoes here for $50 (30% off sale) and a women's suit for $11 (75% off sale) and saw lots of other nice, reasonably priced items. There is a great winter clothing sale going on right now, so I highly recommend stopping in. It's pleasant and not at all overwhelming. read more

I probably will not return. It's so much easier to write a check or sell stuff on eBay.

What a cute little store! I love how their store benefits children. They only accept donations, so please donate your clothing here to a great cause! They have a special rack with "trendy" clothing that was picked by their college students. When I went, I saw a lot of clothing around the LOFT/Francesca's/J Brand/H&M quality. There was an occasional very designer piece of clothing (Valentino). Prices are fair compared to what I've seen on ThredUp or other online retailers for secondhand clothing. Hoping to come across a lucky find in the future! read more

My favorite shop in Old Town. Great VERY GENTLY used designer clothing. I've found many deals here including AG and 7 For All Mankind jeans for under $40. My mom also scored a brand new J. Crew cashmere cardigan for $20! They are always getting new merchandise, I try to stop in weekly! read more

When I can both find a deal on a quality item and give to charity at the same time, I'm a happy lady. I stumbled upon this resale shop and was pleased with the quality of items, the prices, and the cleanliness and presentation of the store. Also, this place sorts items by size (not a common theme in thrift stores), so I'm not wasting my time. They had a lot of mid to higher end brands as well. read more

Excellent, immaculately managed charity shop. Whether you score a bargain or not, always a pleasure to visit.

I know these types of places are hit and miss in terms of finding things that are worth buying. This time my visit was a miss-partly because there wasn't a great selection and also there was only one dressing room. I waited at least 10 minutes before giving up and walking out without a purchase. Based on my experience it's not worth a return. read more

I found this vintage store and it was perfect. They have an organised space where you can search through racks of goodies were you can score great deals. They are helpful and do not harass you to buy, to the contrary, you feel the freedom to gaze and inspect the pieces you find appealing. read more

There is a chain of events of how I began shopping at Mercy Beaucoup...first I got engaged which led me to join weight watchers (wanted to lose Beaucoup weight for the big day). As I began to lose weight, I didn't want to spend money on full priced clothes that may be temporary. I was between sizes and didn't know how much weight I would lose (or gain back!!). Enter Mercy Beaucoup. I found some great clothes during my weight loss journey - naively thinking these would hold me over until I could buy full priced clothes. I am now stable at a size 4 and cannot seem to shop anywhere else. What first seemed like a temporary "fix" is now a necessity. I always find great goodies whenever I stop by. You simply cannot go wrong in this store. Too many designers to mention and the condition of the clothes is excellent - very lightly used and in very many cases, not worn at all!! I have found wonderful suits, dresses from coveted New York designers, jeans, shoes, scarfs, purses, jewelry. And the best part is all sales go to a good cause - children in need. Lynne and her staff is great and very friendly. I love this store. read more

Beautifully organized store full of gorgeous items. The employees are sweet and friendly, as well as helpful. I walked away with a pair of awesome pants for $5, and I'm definitely coming back. read more

This is my best friends neighborhood and I found it via YELP for a recent girls weekend. Right near La Fournette and a slight step down from the sidewalk. The clothes were beautiful and well priced. I found many great deals. this has become a real go-to. The prices are well in-line for a consignment shop, but not rock bottom prices as appropriate for the quality of clothing. Highly recommend. It's a small shop, but we could have spent quite a bit of time here looking through the treasures. read more

Went shopping here yesterday with the family and everyone found a little something! I got a cute skirt for work- the best part about this place is that it's for a good cause. Will definitely go again. read more

It's clean, which I really appreciate in a consignment store. Good price on the items.

This place is as good as it gets! All of the proceeds go to Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. The clothes on the floor are all in great condition, the prices are more than fair, and the staff working there are helpful, informative, honest and delightful! read more

This place is amazing! The quality and brands are incredible and the prices are really good. I recently picked up Hugo Boss, Armani and lesser known European brands for a small fraction of retail. Everything is in great condition. Everyone that lives in Chicago should keep this shop in their rotation and I would definitely recommend tourist or visitors check out this store out. It is in a great neighborhood. The real hook - the money goes to at-risk children in need. I am not sure it can get much better. read more

What a great shop. I discovered this last spring (2012) while running an errand and have been in frequently ever since. I've found many wonderful things and the best deal probably was a pair of Trina Turk pants that fit me like a glove and with the extra sale going on that day cost me $18!!! Amazing...I live in the neighborhood so I stop in at least once a month just to see if there's anything else for me - more often than not there has been!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (oh, and for the guys I saw great Tommy Bahama shirts for only $25!) read more

I was so happy to find a place to donate some of my nicer things that I just wasn't wearing anymore since I quit work. And I LOVE shopping there. I found a really cute winter coat (wool) last fall in perfect condition for $35! Talbots is the low-end here and the prices are dirt cheap. Plus, what better cause to support than Mercy Home? read more

My sentiment about this shop is reflected in all the great reviews going back to 2011. It's amazing that the quality of the items and management of the shop is consistently top drawer. This is, without question, my go-to upscale resale shop. I am a frequent customer and never disappointed. Ladies, next time you go check out the jewelry...some really great deals. read more
