Great place! Was looking for a gift for my partner and was super happy with the selection and assistance I got
Milk Handmade is such a lovely spot—beautifully curated with pieces from independent designers and a clear focus on quality and sustainability. Even just browsing is a treat. The staff is welcoming and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. It’s the kind of shop that makes you want to come back when you’re looking for something special. So glad to have this kind of boutique in the neighborhood!
This shop has some truly amazing apparel! It places an emphasis on items that are made or designed in Chicago and are of a high quality. They appear to have clothing that is suitable for the workplace, as well as cute and fancy parties, as well as other types of occasional dress. In addition to that, they have a large selection of candles, jewelry, accessories, bags, and other items. After hearing about it from a good friend, it quickly rose to the top of my list of preferred shopping destinations in Chicago. I really like how well they curated the items, and I really like their clothing line as well. During my most recent visit to this shop, I purchased some fragrant candles because I knew that my husband would be looking for them in our home. And he absolutely fell in love for the scent of it. If you are someone who enjoys shopping at boutiques or if you have a present to buy, you should absolutely go there!
If I could give milk handmade six stars here, I would do it without hesitation! I ordered a large box of candles and other delicious smelling goodies from milk handmade for my holiday gifts this year. I ordered early because I knew the pressure to deliver on time this year would be huge because everyone was warning about it! Hard to ignore all the warnings!! My order came promptly with a handwritten note from Hallie, the fantastic owner. This shop is true salt of the earth, with people who truly care. Shopping is still fun because of shops like Milk Handmade. Do yourself a favor and order the Olive Branch candle and get the big one.
Milk is one of my favorite places to shop -- I think 90 percent of my wardrobe is from this store at this point. Hallie is so friendly and lovely and welcoming. She has such impeccable taste and also the best candles on Earth. I buy at least 7 per season. Pine Forest forever. Highly recommend visiting the store or shopping online.
