We like to think of co-owners Jenny & Shirley as the Ethan Hunts of local fashion. As if someone from a highly secretive branch of the CIA contacted them in 2006 and in a deep voice told them, “This is your mission if you choose to accept it: bring local Chicago designers to the masses”. As if they took their mission seriously and in response, opened Wolfbait & B-girls in Logan Square in April of that year. Well regardless if our love for secret agents or Tom Cruise (pre-Suri, obvi) have anything to do with this dream, the ladies behind Wolfbait can surely say “Mission Accomplished”.

Located at the roundabout at the intersection of Logan Boulevard, Milwaukee Avenue and Kedzie Boulevard, Wolfbait & B-girls feels like a home away from home, filled with unique designs from more than 50 local designers. They have everything from clothing to jewelry to handbags to greeting cards. After confirming Wolfbait as a participant in our upcoming fashion show, Battle of the Boutiques, we stopped by the boutique to check it out for ourselves. Inside we were greeted by Jenny, who was sitting at her sewing machine, working on a garment that will soon be for sale on the racks. Cool to say the least. Both owners have their own clothing lines (Bruiser & Brazen Judy) that they sell in the store. The merchandise is constantly changing, as most pieces are one-of-a-kind. The prices are right up our alley as well- ranging from $30-$250, with most under $100.

This week’s spotlight falls on Wolfbait, and their new D&D just for PoorLittleRichGirls.  Make it your mission and support Chicago’s amazing local designers.  (And come watch Wolfbait compete in Battle of the Boutiques on February 26th at Lumen!)
