Another fun boutique and gift shop. Women and baby clothing, hair accessories, earrings, jewelry, homewares, decor, purses, greeting cards, candles, and more. There are fitting rooms and there was a cute dog. The adult clothing is sorted by color which is aesthetic. Plenty of fun things at which to look.

Very disappointed to walk in and have a few sales associates stare directly at me and not speak or acknowledge my presence when I said hello. Only to have a white woman walk in a few minutes after who was greeted with a friendly welcome/hello. I’ll never return to this store again because of this experience. Do better.

Imagine walking into a store, it’s empty, except for three sales people, but not one of them even acknowledges your presence, like you’re a ghost. Then as you look around the store they stand 5 feet behind you straightening up every hanger or item you touch. It’s a very confusing experience because it’s not a designer store, they sell $20 t-shirts, and they could probably sell a lot more if they were kind.

Great merchandise for sale, but experienced several microaggressions. When shopping there, my friend, who is white, was greeted by a Sales Associate when shopping at their sales rack outside, and was offered to get a fitting room started. I, on the other hand, was not spoken to, or offered any help. On the way out, this same Sales Associate did not say goodbye to me, as she did with other customers.

One of the best things about living in Wicker Park. Penelopes contributes greatly to the culture of the neighborhood and the staff are genuinely kind. Penelopes and Gemini are truly some of my favorite places in the city. Everybody should visit this locally owned shop!

We walked into this shop because of cute things we noticed in the window. We started to look around while 3 people stood at the register and just gabbed, not even acknowledging our presence. At one point, I was even at the register looking at the stickers on the counter, standing directly in front of the guy working Sat. March 25th about 1:00pm. Not once, did we get any type of greeting, any offer of assistance, nor any eye contact. And yet, when a woman walked in, she immediately received a "hello". We took note that she was Caucasian, whereas we are not. There were a few things we wanted to purchase, but because of this encounter, or shall I say non-encounter, we definitely didn't want to support this "business".

I have a love hate relationship with this store. Sometimes it's killer. Sometimes it's a dud, but I own several of their pieces. It's just hard to shop in men's since the section tends to be stylistically very limited and a little Samey. Similar thoughts are had about Gemini their sister store that tends to carry all of a specific set of browns and blacks out of brands like Our Legacy which produce a breadth of content. Their knickknacks certainly shouldn't be ignored.But if I were to give you any advice? Look, and if you dont like a something wait until the next season. It'll usually be cheaper/in company with better variety.

I felt flattered and beautiful wearing this casual dress I brought here in Penelope’s. I love this boutique especially since their have a wide variety of fashion and trendy clothes to choose from. They have clothes both for men and women. They also have formal clothes which are really of high quality. The items here are a bit pricey since they also offer items from high end clothing lines, but everything is worth spending money on because of its high quality and design. They also have a welcoming and friendly customer service. I loved that the items in this store are well organized and the surrounding is clean. Did I mention that they also offer items for children? This boutique is perfect for people of all ages!

Since the first time I saw the dress that my sister had purchased from this shop, I've had a strong desire to pay this boutique a visit. I really liked the dress that she wore to the party that we went to together. That is why, I insisted that she come with me to this store and assist me in selecting the dress that will look the most flattering on me. And I am so grateful that we were able to find one; it is of such refined quality for me. I gave it a shot once while out on a date, and both me and my partner liked it. I cannot express how grateful I am that I was able to find this store. Absolutely worth every penny.I will definitely recommend this store to my friend. This is the kind of boutique that every customer will really adore.

I came to this place and one of the staff greeted me. I look at their products. I can see some boxes on the floor. They should put it in the right place to prevent tripping hazards. There are only a few products I can see. Their products are cheaper and more expensive one. I came here to buy my husband a polo shirt. And I found a blue and white polo. My husband has a lot of white polo in his closet so I chose blue. It was thick and not too hot to wear. I think it will fit my husband since I know his size. I went to the counter to pay for it. The staff were too slow to prepare my purchase. She was busy talking to someone on the call. She should prioritize the customer first before calling or while calling. This place should improve.
