This elegant-yet-playful boutique specializes in what the shop’s owner and namesake calls “curios” – intriguing gifts such as exotic mounted insects, one-of-a-kind jewelry and novelty items like light-up umbrellas. Blaker showcases a diverse array of talent, from the cutting-edge Tokyo-based fashion and fragrance maker Commes des Garcons to Chicago jewelers like Philip Cantrell, Gillion Carrara and Kristin Freeman. The result? A select but unpredictable collection of baubles, artifacts and museum-quality creations.
