Top Sale This Week

When you tell Grandma that you’re going to Eskell’s annual Not Your Granny’s Panties Vintage Shopping Party (1509 N. Milwaukee Ave., eskell.com), she won’t be offended—she’ll want to come along. Eskell has teamed up with vintage specialist Heart & Hunter to offer up a selection of handpicked vintage pieces, both scandalous and non-, for all your holiday party needs. The vintage gurus will also serve up Virtue Cider for all (those who remember Prohibition as well as those who don’t). Bring your favorite matriarch along, because if anyone knows how to rock a high-waisted 1950s slip better than you do, it’s Grandma.
