I absolutely love this place. I've bought some of my favorite miniskirts & sweaters here. (They always snag me with their windows.) The styles are so unique. (They do all their buying in Europe.) it's definitely higher end, though I have also found some really great things on their sale rack. This is retail at its finest due to the personal attention. The owners are so sweet and very honest. (Plus, they have great taste.) They'll style you and happily bring you things if you'd like. I can always count on them - if something doesn't look good they'll let me know. I've also bought things off of their Instagram and they happily drop it off at my home in one of their gorgeous bags. That's awesome. I always leave with great styles & feeling cheerful. I have several friends who feel the same. . read more

I happened upon this store as it was on my way to an event. I don't live far, but haven't done a lot since Covid 19 hit us over 1 year ago. It's a beautiful warm and humid day in Chicago and the walk was good. The place is very quaint and small but well lit for shopping. It's a woman's boutique specializing in European clothing. The major designer is Solar and I have not heard of it, but designs are suited for a dressier woman. Thankfully that counts me in as I work in an office where jeans are not allowed and it's conservative so the weekends I can go casual. Back to the store the sizes are European and the lady at the counter (I am assuming is the owner) was very kind to tell me that 34 is usually x-small, 36 is small and 38 is medium. I'm usually a medium but some of her clothing allow for a 34 when I tried on a pair of white slacks. It had a great fit, but buying white is difficult because the material may be more revealing than you might like. Her clothes has many price points as she indicated and sales from the previous season is 20% off. Her summer selection drove me to walk in full of blight yellows, pink, and orange. Do stop in if you're in the neighborhood and support local small businesses! read more

My place to go to when I'm looking for the European fashion brands that are not necessarily famous but make original and unique clothes. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. She will help you select something that will fit your sense of style but with an unexpected twist . I always end up buying a purse or a dress that gets tons of compliments every time I wear it. There is also one section of this boutique where you can find more office friendly (if you still care about that after 2020) clothes. I love coats and dresses and I found a couple of really nice ones at Talia. Check their sale section too! Totally worth it ! read more

This store is a gem. It appears in the window as if the clothes are very expensive but that is not the case. Classy and stylish. Great customer service. Support unique small businesses like this read more

This boutique is one of my personal favorites. This is where I have purchased some of my most treasured tops, miniskirts, and dresses. The area is quite charming and cozy, despite its modest size, and it is nicely lit for shopping. It is a shop for women that specializes in the apparel of European countries. If you want them to, they will give you a makeover and gladly bring you goods. When it comes to styling, I put a lot of trust in them since they have such a strong sense of fashion, which is why I trust them so much. I know I can depend on them to be honest with me if they see something that doesn't look quite right. They go to great measures to guarantee that the product they sell is on trend and will be favorably appreciated by the consumers they are trying to attract as customers. They only utilize the very best materials for their products, which means that the fabric used for their clothes and other items is of a very high quality. I have nothing but praise for this establishment; it was well worth my time and money. read more

This shop is one of my favorites! Every time I go here, I always get excited because I know that they will have another set of new and unique designs of clothes. They always make sure that their merchandise is in trend and will be loved by their customers. They have a high quality of fabric for their t-shirt and any kind of products. The interior of the shop is nice too, has such a good theme inside and has a pleasant ambiance for everyone inside. The staff are nice too and always initiate conversation with their customers in case they have questions or what. And based on personal experience when I was inside this shop, I can say that they are accommodating and very friendly with the customers. The price is pretty expensive but still reasonable. And because of that, I never get tired of shopping here! I will come back again and again for sure. And I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's reading this. read more

The shop is small and quaint, but it is well lit, which makes ideal for shopping. In it, you will find women's clothing boutiques that specialize in European fashion, which is exactly what I like to shop for. It was for this reason that when I came across this shop, I went inside right away. And when I opened the door and saw the dresses inside, my heart nearly burst with excitement. The fact that they will have a new collection of clothes with unique designs to choose from always makes me look forward to my visits here. They go to great lengths to ensure that their merchandise is fashionable and will be well received by their target audience. The fabric used for their t-shirts and other products is of high quality, and they only use the best of the best for their products. A pleasant theme runs throughout the shop's interior, creating a welcoming environment for all who enter. The employees are also pleasant, and they always engage in conversation with their customers, regardless of whether or not they have questions for them. read more

The staff was so friendly. I came in on a freezing cold day absolutely filthy after biking in the snow to look for some clothes for an interview. The lady working literally came over to clean me off. She wasn't worried about me getting her beautiful clothes and the floor dirty like I was, she was just being really friendly! Beautiful clothes and such a great experience with the staff. read more

Beautiful clothing and jewelery. I came in an hour before close and the owner acted as a personal shopper, pulling items she thought would work for my event and giving me styling tips along the way. I especially appreciated how she customized her recommendations to my body. Her awareness of what would work and what wouldn't was on point. I will definitely be back whenever I want an extra nice piece, whether for work, special occasion, or every day. read more

I had never ventured into this boutique, tucked a bit off the beaten path on Chicago Avenue. Just a bit out of the main downtown shops area, and just a bit north of the shop around Dempster. The clothes in the window always looked really expensive--Way Out of My Price Range expensive. I was wandering around the area for Downtown Evanston's annual sidewalk sale, and saw the rack in front. Imagine my surprise and elation when I started perusing the outside rack and found item after item of unique, seemingly well-made items (tops, skirts, dresses) marked down to absolutely affordable prices. Inside the shop, as well, items were marked down to ranges that were even slightly below the average boutique. (Example: really lovely dress, normally $200, priced between 20 - 50% off.) There were certainly some REALLY special pieces that were quite a bit more, but from what I saw, I'm guessing an average range of $100-$200 before sale pricing. I highly recommend checking this shop out. The style is more refined and sophisticated than some of the other boutiques in Evanston, which cater a bit more to the college student. The clothing was quite stylish but still accessible to the young professional, though there were definitely some pieces that I think would suit women in their 40s and up. They also have an incredible range of sizes, which was most gratifying. None of the seemingly arbitrary S/M/L fare of the standard boutique, but a wide range of sizes (from petite up to 44, that I saw, perhaps even larger). The woman working there, who was likely an owner, was really lovely and just the right amount of involved (i.e. not intrusive or pushy, but helpful). The four star rating is mostly because I couldn't possibly afford to make this a regular haunt. If I need to get a special-occasion dress, I will absolutely come back here. I would be willing to pay the normal prices for a nice, remarkable piece. read more

I've shopped at Talia three times for every time I buy an item (or more than one!) and love the fact that the owner is very direct about how good or bad any item works for me. Her taste is gorgeous in clothing and jewelry. I bought four things yesterday that are all perfect for me and well priced. IT DOESN'T GET BETTER. Thanks for having such a sophisticated shop in Evanston. read more

Absolutely one of the best places to shop in Chicago if you want fresh designs appealing to the modern women. Well-made, stylish, luxurious, and makes you feel like and look like a million bucks. The owners have a great fashion eye and go the second mile to be your personal stylist. You will always be delighted and never leave without a purchase. Blissful shopping! read more

Beautiful well made clothes and wonderful kind staff. Definitely received the first class treatment and personalized help. Got a beautiful dress to wear for my birthday! read more

Staff working here was extremely rude and dismissive. Insinuated I was too poor to buy anything. Horribly rude.

I love this store!. Really interesting one of a kind clothes. Well made clothes imported from Poland. The clothes are so stylish. I try to buy something every season and I have been happy with every purchase. Wonderful women own this shop. Stop in and check Talia out. Also a great sale rack always worth checking it out. read more

This has to be the most beautiful womens boutique in Evanston, without a doubt. The owners have fantastic taste and great eye for unique, incredibly pretty European style clothes and contemporary jewelry. It is a bit pricey, but the quality of the garments justifies the price in my opinion. They have great sales so I always take advantage of that, and also they always seem to have a sales rack no matter the season. Both owners have always been pleasant and helpful, so I've never encountered any unpleasant staff as experienced by the other reviewer. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of Talia, this is a store that is well worth a trip. If I could buy all my clothes here I would! read more
