In Short – A small stairway leads down to the main, hardwood floor of this chic boutique, housed in a former architectural firm. Women's footwear, jewelry and handbags are displayed, with men's apparel tucked in corners. Another set of stairs toward the back leads to a room overlooking the entire shop, displaying women's apparel, including a casual line from Angel Sanchez, 1998 winner of Chicago's Gold Coast Fashion Award.

Great Fall Fashions/Local Designers!!!!
by gaotu
Ok, I have to say I was really surprised. I walked into Malabar boutique last week and not only was the store really unique in its layout (2 floors/split level) but it had really great, beautiful pieces! I found some great classic fall tops and a dress from local designer Cyndi Chan (my new favorite). The owner was so sweet and helpful. so much so that she offered me a complimentary glass of champagne while I shopped...what a fun day! Anyway, you have to check out this great local shop. beautiful clothing and accessories, great owner/staff and reasonable prices. Had lunch at Goddess and Grocery afterwards because I still had a few bucks leftover : )
- Pros: Fun stuff, classic pieces, local focus
- Cons: items are limited, but that's because they're not mass produced..guess that's a pro!

GREAT SHOES
by claires411
I'm from Chicago's north shore and stopped in MALABAR for evening attire. I left with a pair of Kathryn Kerrigan Ballet flats and I have worn them almost every day - that was 3 months ago. I love my new shoes and will definitely return soon.
- Pros: Interior decorating, selection, customer service
- Cons: buck town parking
