Bold graphic skirts and tops, vintage dresses and handmade gold engraved jewelry fill Eskell boutique at 1509 N. Milwaukee Ave. Vanilla-scented candles fill the room, and the hardwood floors along with the gold-encrypted ceilings create an antique atmosphere. Eskell opened in 2005 and moved to Wicker Park in 2007 from its original location on Webster Avenue in Lincoln Park.
Kelly Whitesell, owner of Eskell, designs and produces two collections a year that are sold at her store as well as other boutiques. Most of her work is produced in New York, India and Chicago.
