Cerato
Any true Chicagoan will have to agree that Cerato is, by far, the city’s best new boutique. Launching earlier this year with a stock that’s almost entirely made up of Chicago designers, owner Tracey Glibowski has singlehandedly taken it upon herself to support local design. Adding at least three designers since her opening in May, she’s raising awareness of local talent and putting money in their pockets—all the while keeping the women of the city looking fabulous.
