Bess & Loie

Update: Bess & Loie closes on Nov. 12 to relocate to a shop-within-a-shop concept inside Erin Gallagher in Lincoln Park.
Owner Allyson Holleb named this stellar handbag boutique after her two fashionable grandmothers, and keeping with the grandmotherly theme, Holleb keeps a well-stocked kitchen and several candy dishes scattered around the store so customers can ponder their purchases over snacks. Her goal is to feature lesser-known handbag designers, but Holleb does carry some familiar lines, such as Hayden-Harnett, Pagliei and Cynthia Rowley. For guys, you'll also find a selection of messenger bags, ties and leather goods.
