1867 N. Damen, (773)489-3220, dmariehandbags.com
Goods: Accessories and handbags for women. Designers: Elliott Luca, Latico, Sabina and the shop’s exclusive D. Marie line. Owners: After her home became an empty nest, Diane Gallery pursued her dream of opening up a boutique for fellow purse-and-accessory fetishists. Best of all, the shop allowed her to spend more time with her daughter Therese, who co-owns the girly shop. Vibe: Artfully arranged accessories perch on clean, white shelves. The unobtrusive staff is friendly, but won’t try to hold your hand as you rifle through handbags. Price Range: Moderate. The Look: The woman who shops here is a master at making inexpensive accessories look like prize finds from Neiman’s or Saks. Shopper’s Perks: D. Marie is the perfect shop for the queen of accessories on a city-princess budget.
