Sustainable & Vintage Clothing Pop-Up with All We Remember, Ms Amy Taylor, The Fair Court, & Mister Baby Vintage
Saturday November 5th, 12:00 - 6:00 PM
free to attend; advanced registration is requested (RSVP here)
Shop styles from a range of vintage and sustainably-minded clothing brands, including Chicago-based ALL WE REMEMBER, The Fair Court Vintage, Ms Amy Taylor, Mister Baby Vintage, and more.
ALL WE REMEMBER is a collective founded with the belief that marrying innovative design and responsible ecological production is the best way forward. This ethos is encapsulated in their tagline: future | nature | forms.
The team at ALL WE REMEMBER design their garments and accessories with an array of genders and bodies in mind. They believe in the relationship between clothing and its wearer: relaxed silhouettes and drawstring waists allow for adaptability based on personal preference and the movement of style over time.
Courtney Pentimalli, the gal behind
The Fair Court built her brand around her favorite form of creative expression - getting dressed! She always felt putting together an outfit was similar to finalizing a puzzle, or creating a collage. It is the epicenter of her journey in experimentation with art, in a physical form. Initially, The Fair Court was a personal platform, but over time and with many inquiries into her styling tips and vintage secrets, Courtney now works to create capsule collections with makers, currently focusing on the "Play More" chore coat's collection in partnership with Mister Baby Vintage.
Jess DePaul of
Mister Baby Vintage is a graphic designer and embroidery artist in Chicago with a love for all things vintage, bold, and floral. She adds one-of-a-kind custom embellishments to vintage clothing using her antique hand-cranked chainstitch embroidery machine. Jess will be on-site live chainstiching your pieces, creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art just for you.
Ms Amy Taylor is a Chicago-based artist working
to change the industry-wide practice of designing clothing to
sexualize, shame, and hide femme bodies by designing clothing that fluctuates with our ever-changing bodies, and making pieces that makes us feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful.
Amy will be bringing her collection of naturally-dyed silk garments and natural dye kits to the event.

The Sunday Standard 1-Year Anniversary Party!
Saturday November 12th, 10:00AM - 6:00 PM
free to attend; advanced registration is requested (RSVP HERE)
Celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our Armitage Avenue boutique with a store-wide celebration sale, sips, snacks, & more! Our friends at Love Linked by Winifred Grace are returning to the shop with their gorgeous permanent jewelry line, Claire from AURA/IRIS will be on-site taking your Aura Portraits, and Dina from Dina Psihou will be in the shop doing hand-poked flash tattoos (definitely excited about this one!)
Dina Psihou is a tattoo artist working in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. Dina specialized in hand-poked tattoo work. A
hand poked tattoo is a tattoo that’s made without using a machine. Hand-poked tattoos use all the same safety procedures and equipment as a machine artist, but the tattoo is done by hand, dot-by-dot with a tattoo needle.
Snag a quick little cutie from Dina while you're in the shop! They'll have a special set of flash designs ready for you to choose from.
Experience what the New York Times is calling "the modern day friendship bracelet" with Love Linked by Winifred Grace, Chicago's premier permanent jewelry experience!
Also referred to as forever jewelry, endless chain, zapped jewelry, or welded bracelets, permanent jewelry is a unique way to honor any commitment you might be making whether to a loved one or yourself.
The Love Lined team offers a curated selection of fine 14k gold chains, charms & links for you to choose from. Their expert jewelers will customize the chain length to fit your wrist, connect the two ends with a tiny jump ring, and then weld it closed (this means there is no clasp).
Capture your unique energy with an aura portrait session with Claire Mooney of
AURA/IRIS. Claire is the founder of Magnolia House, an alternative therapy center in Logan Square. Get your portrait taken, discover the meaning behind your auric reading, and take home a snapshot to represent how your personality shows up to the world around you.
Sessions available on a walk-in basis; no appointment required.
