A thoughtful and beautiful shop full of things you wont find anywhere else. clothing, knits, jewelry and a huge selection of hand made hats! no big brands here-almost everything is made locally and the store is staffed and run by the designers themselves. you can feel good about buying and supporting local. the shop also has several charming neighbors; you will want to make time to visit them all.

This is a hidden gem in the North Centre neighborhood of Chicago.

I had a great experience at Union Handmade. I am physical therapist, so I need to be able to move and freely, but look professional at that same time. Leigh, the owner of the store, helped me try on several different pairs of pants. She explained that the hardiest pants are made with pure fibers (not blends) because the fibers are much stronger and much less likely to split when they are the 100% wool for example (obviously important considering the active nature of my job). The pair that I liked best fit me nearly perfectly, except they were a little large in the waist. Leigh measured and then sent them out to her tailor to have then adjusted and now they fit as if they were made just for me. I am so happy! Leigh and I also talked about how fabrics that are designed for men are typically a lot studier than the fabrics that are used to make womens clothes. Ive always noticed this and been annoyed about it, but no one else seems to talk about it. But Leigh knew, too. And apparently she and the other designers sometimes buy mens fabric to make womens clothes! Yay for quality feminine clothes!

Such beautiful clothing and jewelry!

Its almost 2 years since I rented the space 2 doors down from Union Handmade. I couldnt believe my luck when I discovered the space was available! I was an enthusiastic Union Handmade fan and shopper! Of the many things I like about this store is the commitment to quality. Quality of craft, skill and design; integrity in every single aspect of the business. Working with Leigh and the other artists at Union is an honor and Im forever grateful to Leigh for trailblazing in the design world and pioneering in this neighborhood. If not for Union we wouldnt have our wonderful Makerhood!

I have bought my wife clothing and jewelry at this amazing store. She loves the beautiful unique offerings they have and I have to say that the staff (who i believe are some of the designers) are the nicest people you will ever meet. All in all its a wonderful place to experience.

Timeless elegance and beauty! That is how I describe everything in this little shop on Lincoln Avenue. Leigh Deleonardo designs simply beautiful clothing that flatters all figures; I have worn her pieces for years and they remain my favorites. Lovely jewelry, scarves, hats, and other gift items are made by local artists, who often are working in the store. Do stop by, have a look, enjoy a chat and pop in the neighboring stores as well, (also owned by local artists). It is a delightful slice of Lincoln Avenue.....

I love this shop. Admittedly, my sister is the owner, but nonetheless she has assembled an extremely talented and enthusiastic group of women and their wares. If you love local and made by women, then shop Union Handmade!

Beautiful things, locally made. Its very hard to walk into this store and not want to buy something! Plus it always smells so good in there.

I had a very unpleasant experience with the owner of the store Leigh. Unfortunately I wrote a check,which they held for almost two months. I assumed the check had been cashed and when if went through the day before my pay schedule - it bounced. I payed it thinking that was the end of it. But no, she then sends me a long email. One long NASTY email was not enough. Two or three weeks later, I receive another NASTY email, which was longer then the last.I had not returned to the store after the first email and never intended to return again. I phoned the store, the owned was not going to be there for several days. I told the employee to inform her that under no circumstances was the owner to ever contact me again. I assume that will be the case, and I am writing this because I want that to be the case.

Exellent quality. Great service.

Fabulous!!! Beautiful clothing and flawless workmanship...

Gorgeous, unique handmade clothing hats and jewelry.
