Great Shoes!.
When I first moved to Chicago there was only 1 Akira on North Avenue in Bucktown/Wicker Park....now I think there are about 5 spanning from the old neighborhood to downtown....it's kind of
disconbobulated.
Anyways, despite the geographical challenges, I have always shopped for shoes there and will continue to do so. They have veyr affordable unique shoes that I cannot find in other botiques or large chains. They do carry style trends but many of the shoes there are just great looking shoes that no one else has which look great forever!…
overrated. My friends recommended that I should go to Akira because according to them they have amazing unique clothes. So I went?.and I was not impressed! I went there ready to waste my money! They do not have any unique clothing. All their merchandise seems cheaply made and the prices are overpriced! I do not understand what the hype with Akira is. Don?t shop here; there is nothing special about this store! It was a huge disappointment..…
akira: temple of the gods.
omg! i totally cannot understand these negative reviews from some of you! AKIRA is totally like the trendiest store in Chicago and we should all bow our heads in honor of this divine blessing
bestowed upon us! i mean really, if you can't afford to pay $600 for a jacket that obviously cost $6 to make and lasts only as long, then you're like this totally scummy loser! sorry, no trashy regulars here!
AKIRA is NOT for just anyone, but for the super pretentious who rejoice in being sold cheaply made trendy clothes from a super pouty and aloof aspiring actor/bartender/retail salesperson who is literally paid to act akiraesque. please sweethearts, if you haven't yet mastered the social graces one naturally develops by age 4, you might as well stay in retail -- just don't expect to be taken seriously.
btw, return policy is a joke which, itself, suggests that these losers don't believe in their own products. better clothes, styles, and values from virtually any store in the city.
still, there are bigger losers than the staff...the customers!…
Bucktown women's boutique brims with girly, edgy pieces for the club, date night and wedding..
In Short
Robin's egg blue and tangerine walls stenciled with butterflies don't overpower this expansive showroom of designer and the store's own line of clothing. Premium denim in all
washes and cuts line wooden tables, providing wardrobe staples along with barely there club tanks, military-style winter coats and silky tops in bold geometric prints. A special occasion section to the left stocks sequin cocktail dresses, flowy halter gowns and big names like Mark Bauer.…
VERY poor quality/service. What a terrible store. The shoes I bought fell apart after 3 wears and they won't take them back because they have been worn outside and I'm past the 7 day window for returns by one day. Sorry, but shoes should last more than a week and 3 wears, if they don't, you should fix the problem! I was told that they fell apart because they are cheap. Ummm, so why did you sell them to me? Really, I have never experienced such awful customer service. The guy made me feel like it was my fault for buying the $30 pair of shoes in the store.…
