Beta Boutique

Owner

Open only four days a week, nestled halfway down a narrow, tree lined, cobblestone street half a block removed from the hustle and flow of Damen Avenue in Bucktown, Beta Boutique is the ultimate in-the-know fashion destination devoted to Chicago's savviest shoppers. As Chicago's first and only permanent sample sale, Beta Boutique boasts over 1700 square feet of fantastically designed floor space dedicated to the most select fashion-forward contemporary women's samples and overstock. A fashion industry "secret" long popular in New York and Los Angeles - sample sales are finally here in Chicago! These sales let shoppers like you help designers unload their pre-production display ("sample") and post-production excess ("overstock") merchandise at significantly discounted prices, often wholesale and below. Chicago's fashion map has been redrawn and the new center is 2016 West Concord Place.

In Short
No more "getting there early to avoid the crowd" or sifting through endless, overstuffed racks of discounted goodies. High-end local and national designer clothing finds a home here, or at least a temporary one, before being snatched up for fashionistas' closets. Pieces by Cynthia Rowley, Rebecca Taylor, and BCBG hang neatly from racks throughout the clean shop softened by yellow walls, orchids and candles, plus a dressing room made cozy with comfy chairs.
