Chicago
There are plenty of places where one can pay big bucks for a vintage kimono, but if, like us, you're more interested in wearing than collecting, visit secondhand store Chicago. The pickings are bountiful and in good condition, and the prices largely run under $80. From Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood store listing.
Shopping
Lakeview
Populated by a fun-loving post-collegiate crowd, this unpretentious social enclave is home to laid-back bars and easy, on-trend stores. Lucky's favorite stores in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood!
