Penelope’s

Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Penelope’s is a warm boutique for twenty- and thirty-somethings. It offers both men’s and women’s fashions (they’re new, but look thrift-store-bought) along with housewares, baby and kid clothes, jewelry and nifty gifty things. It has expanded next door to a twin shop called Gemini (get it?), with similar items but focusing more on upscale men's and women's clothes and accessories.
