Where to shop in Chicago?
Shopping in a big American city like Chicago is the same as shopping in any other city. Unless you find some unique locations like the ones I found, then you’ll have an amazing time shopping and discovering new places.
These recommendations are part of my Ultimate Chicago Travel Guide, If you need recommendations please head over to my other Chicago articles about what to do, what to eat, where to drink coffee and where to stay.

diptyque
If you’ve been following my blog for some time, you’ll know how much I love diptyque products. I was so happy to discover this boutique on my first trip to Chicago. It’s the only diptyque boutique in the Midwest so it’s the only location you’ll be able to find boutique only products that are not available in retail locations such as Nordstrom or Holt Renfrew.
Fleur
Fleur is another flower shop in Chicago where you’ll also find plenty of nice decorations for your home. There’s also a nice apothecary section where I discovered very nice fragrances.
