Moon Voyage

by far my favorite boutique in this part of town. love the ambiance of the place. love the jewelry. and it’s a plus that the owner as well as the employees are so kind!

Wow– what a cute shop in wicker park. Everything is something I would want in my closet. Beyond that — thank you to the best customer service I’ve ever had. Shana– you are awesome and find me @consigncouture in ig. Thank you!

Beautifully curated selection of stylish basics with a twist… loved the kind & helpful owner too. Wish I lived in the area!

Visiting from out of town, I was hoping to find some boutiques full of items/​clothes I haven’t seen back home. This place didn’t let me down. The store was airy and diligently put together with styles, colors, and many different types of fabrics to choose from.
I always get a tiny fearful because I’m not a size small or 0 and realize a lot of boutiques only cater to this size. This store had some great cuts and fabrics that could fit many different women’s bodies. I purchased a whimsical hobo chic dress, softer than cashmere grey cardigan, and fun geometrical print sleeveless shirt to compliment the open cardigan.
At the end of my visit and purchase, I realized I had been helped by the owner who was very kind and personable and extremely helpful. It was a wonderful and fun experience. I highly recommend for those living in the area or from out of town! It was worth the trip from my North Chicago hotel on the river.

Love the style of clothing in the store. The clothes are on the pricier side. I dont usually buy $ 100 tops.

down-​to-​earth boutique with out-​of-​this-​world goods. don’t tell the others!

I love shopping at Moon Voyage– and having Susie in the neighborhood! I always get LOTS of compliments on the clothes I get there. Really an asset to Wicker Park!

YES! Finally, someone gets it! Chicago has been long overdue for a boutique like this. Moon Voyage is incredibly well-​curated with hard-​to-​find mid-​tier designers. I love that their price range spans the gamut (from $ 9 to around $ 600 I think). Their sales are fantastic too. I wouldn’t necessarily wear everything they sell, but man there were a handful of pieces that were truly unique and totally worthy of the price. The best part is, all of it looks relatively high quality (unlike the innumerable made-​in-​China faux-​trend boutiques in Chicago, *cough*cough* Akira). The sales associate was the perfect balance of nice and helpful without being pushy or condescending. I’m crossing my fingers they start selling unique lingerie lines. I’d also love to see them expand their Korean imported makeup.

Really unique boutique in wicker park. Awesome jewelry from local designers. Love the clothes here as well! Great quality and friendly staff

Well-​edited store with interesting pieces. They don’t hover over you while you shop and aren’t pushy. The store is on trend and «very LA,» but in the good way.
While recently shopping, the store attendant noticed me checking out a dress and then passing when I saw the price. Without being intrusive, she brought in a similar style to the dressing room at a lower price point.

The girls, spent the whole day there…
So I guess it’s a good boutique for girls.
The Girl that was there was pretty cool, and knowledgeable when it comes to clothing said the girls I was with.

Although many local trendy, stylish and chic Chicago women were anticipating the opening of Moon Voyage for several months; I had only heard about it a mere 8 weeks ago. Shameful. Ms. Fashion maven & cosmetics pundit had completely dropped the ball. After sighing, remorsefully, I chalked it up to a heavy course load and my upcoming college graduation. I then «set a date» with Moon Voyage to pick out a birthday gift.
As I walked up to the shop I thought: Wow, isn’t this where «Curves» used to be? I swiftly thought of anything but that tragic musing.
Thankfully, I walked through the doors of Moon Voyage and it was positively a sensory and tactile odyssey. Dare I say? Yes, it was Love at first sight. The spacious loft-​like interior is airy and architecturally remarkable with colourful interior murals, modern fixtures and custom cabinetry.
The clothing, which ranges from NY and LA designers to International labels from France, Australia and London is completely on trend. Also, within the meticulously hand-​picked collection, there are several exquisitely honed vintage pieces. Moon Voyage is a compendium of all that I love: Phenomenal Clothing, unique, timeless period items, artisan-​crafted greeting cards, candles, jewelry and makeup. I bought a gorgeous, chunky, sterling silver colourful stone necklace for $ 42. I wanted to purchase so much more. I saw some unusual, very luxe Korean eyeliners that were rather soft (but not too mushy) with a smudge brush on the other end for $ 18.00 a smaller pencil was priced at $ 10.00 (without smudge brush) I swear, I am not hallucinating, when I say: There were some super– hot, big, rock-​it-​out earrings on the front table for $ 8.00!
As it was late, I was the only person in the shop, so, I got to speak with, proprietor, Susie Lee for a while. It turns out she is a life-​long Chicagoan with a keen eye for fashion and a background in the hospitality industry. I certainly could tell this was absolute truth. She was unbelievably gregarious, open, kind chic and the epitome of modern grace.
I have not mentioned, either, that I am usually so dismayed, these days, by shopping experiences that I do most of my shopping online. I’m very hard-​core about customer service-​maybe it’s because I have an online shop? I think it is really due to so much sub-​par service that I usually am surprised when I find someone like Susie Lee. As in, take– my– breath– away –almost –shocked, type of surprise. You get the picture.
The downlow: There is, undoubtedly, something for almost everyone here at various price points. $ 8.00 earrings to $ 100 bracelets and some more expensive (and worth it), exceedingly well done pieces. Susie is the quintessential hostess and very down to earth while being the Über Style darling of Wicker Park.
I once made the mistake of attempting to shop at this place on Chicago Ave. near Michigan. I knew of it– fancy, whatever… I believe the entire storefront is glass. I walked in their BIG glass doors into the expansive, minimalistic layout to browse designer wares, accessories and hefty price tags. Suddenly, a snotty slag whom I imagined was managing the place, asked (in a very condescending manner): «CAN I HEEEEELP YOU?»
I pushed my hair back and replied «No, thank you, though, just looking at the moment.» She proceeded to follow me around the store, treated like mere hoi polloi. Did she think I was going to shoplift!!! If she had only known I had $ 875 cash in my jeans pocket and was there to shop! I left, never to re-​enter B***e again-​ever. As I’m still «student broke» I don’t have that kind of money anymore, but when I do, that store is on my blacklist.
Moon Voyage is the new benchmark for which all shops should be judged. Stop by and see for yourself– I dare you to leave there empty-​handed.
I’m in love…
Moon Voyage, you are now at the much coveted spot (HA!)
