Ferragamo Facelift

After closing for more than six months of renovations, Salvatore Ferragamo (645 N. Michigan Ave., 312-397-0464, salvatoreferragamo.it) has reopened with a brand new second floor. At 3,000 square feet, the new two-story building features a three-dimensional glowing glass wall with display windows, a full-length video wall, and updated lighting with “true color rendition.”

The store features the brand’s ready-to-wear collections (both women’s and men’s) as well as shoes, handbags, luggage, jewelry, eyewear, and other accessories. Two items from the fall/winter collection that we’ve got our eyes on: black patent calf leather pumps with cuff detail ($825, above) and an optic white crocodile handbag ($17,000).

 

Top Sales This Week

It’s last call for the designer boutique LISSA (750 N. Franklin St., 312-563-9470, lissachicago.com). As we shared last month, the River North store has decided to shutter, marking all clothing, jewelry, and handbags 50 to 70 percent off. Since Saturday is LISSA’s final day, all items are now an additional 20 percent off. To grab the savings online, use code EXTRA20.

Also wrapping up its closing sale is local children’s boutique Madison and Friends (43 E. Oak St., 312-642-6403, madisonandfriends.com). Buy two or more items and receive 80 percent off.
