P.O.S.H. a Chicago Icon for Sale
“At some point in your life, you want something that feels authentic — something that speaks to you.” P.O.S.H. was founded in 1997; and, from the very beginning, P.O.S.H. has garnered media attention from all corners: from a recent “Sip With Me” podcast this past December to an article in Country Living magazine just a couple months after opening, to a brief segment on the Oprah Winfrey show, to shop profiles in Architectural Digest, The Telegraph of London’s magazine “Luxury”, USA Today, House Beautiful, Real Simple, and O at Home (Oprah’s home magazine), just to name but a few. (And since we’re dropping names, we might as well include Martha Stewart who stops in when she’s in town and refers to P.O.S.H. as her “favorite shop in Chicago”!).
They have developed a product mix that truly captivates a broad audience of all ages and all economic levels. It is the skillful blending of both vintage and antique pieces, along with newly manufactured items, that gives the shop its unique character. The shop has set a standard for beautiful merchandising (store display) that captivates shoppers and visually transports them to another place and time. (A visit to the shop has even been on the curriculum for visual merchandising students at Columbia College.) In addition to the brick & mortar location, they also have a busy online shop.
