Intermix

What can I say other than this place did not impress me. I just moved back to Chicago after being gone for the past 15 years living on the West Cost. I lived in Wicker Park before some of these high end clothing boutiques moved in and I have to say its kind of funny.
I’m glad to see the neighborhood has progressed but, who are we kidding it’s not LA or Beverly Hills I would have expected the bazaar clientele otherwise. The staff on the other hand was very friendly but the clothing selection was not that impressive. I guess if I wanted to spend that kind of money head down to Michigan Ave.

I often stroll into this location when walking
around the neighborhood. The sales staff is actually really nice, not stuck up like at some similar boutiques. My only complaint is that the store is kind of small and they don’t have a ton of inventory. I’ve definitely found some really great deals here, it’s worth a quick walk around the store.

Wow I have not had the same experiences as everyone. The clothes are gorgeous, the sales people have great suggestions and are helpful. I agree prices can be steep but the sale rack is a God send. The one thing I do agree with is that it is funny when they say something like the shirt is only $ 290, but hey it does make me think it’s not so bad:)

The most pleasant sales people out of the intermixes I’ve visited in Chicago. They’ve always been helpful (not pushy) and patient when I’m being indecisive.

Horrible location. Sale associates are extremely rude and have no sense of style. Definitely will not be shopping there ever again, and I don’t recommend it to anyone else.

love this intermix… I come here everytime i need an outfit.
way more manageable than the one downtown and even if at first glance the store seems small and choices slim, keep wandering — i always find everything i need here on a second lap around the store…(more than what i need — usually the problem)…
Lauren is the best :) but all the sales people are good — normal, not annoying, always dressed cute & very helpful.
no attitude, great lines.
a little more jewelry would be nice, but not enough to knock it down to 4 stars…
it’s my second fave intermix, second only to vegas…
esp. for chicago — best shopping around.

5 stars for having this.
1 Star for the price of it.
The law of averages.
Damn you, Intermix.

Love this store and just want to share my experience with the staff. After shopping here one day, I left my favorite and expensive sunglasses in the dressing room… not realizing that I left them there, I got a call from my husband saying Intermix called and they were at the store. The sales associate had my last name but not my contact info so she tracked down my phone # online and called my house. I didn’t get her name and wish I had, but I feel that it’s rare someone puts the extra effort in and I’m thankful she did!

Nice chain boutique that doesn’t have attitude. It was visible that the buyer put up real effort to bring a bit compact, but still very vibrant selection.
As a long term fan of Stella McCartney, I was pleasantly surprised to find her signature color purse, and nautical dress fresh from latest collection. Also, I noticed some nice jeans stock as well.
Perhaps I was lucky to stumble upon the owner of the boutique, but the sales associate was very friendly and not at all snotty. When I expressed my obvious enthusiasm towards Stella, she suggested taking down my number so that they could give me buzz in case it would go price marked. Apparently, there was no need for me to wait for the price mark (let’s just say Santa took care of it) but I still had nice and courtly service.

So, this intermix is definitely smaller than the one downtown, but I prefer the staff SOOOOOO much better.
1. they aren’t annoying.
2. they don’t check you out and clock your clothes and accessories as you walk in
3. they don’t bother you

today i ventured to wicker park and sadly went into this store. as tina b. says it was exactly like the pretty woman scene. they were helping another lady in the store prob because of her louis vuitton bag. once she left, they didn’t even say hi to me. i tried on a few things, which i did not like, then put them away. i then went to the counter and asked if they worked off commission. they said yes, and i said interesting. little did they know, had they have been friendly and offered to help, i would have dropped a grand in 30 minutes.

Since I was in my old neighborhood, this seems to be the latest edition of shops in the area. My curiosity had gotten the best of me because I heard they had cute shoes here, but nothing that suited me. I was surprised that the sales people were nice to me, because they were stuck up at the one on Armitage. So, I felt the «Pretty Woman Hooker» complex at the other one, but I do know what Tina B. is talking about. They had some cute clothes, but the sale prices were not good enough to give me hope to come back.

They had this fabulous and huge orangey bag in the front window that I had to take a look at. I asked the salesperson about it and she said that is was L.A.M.B. And then she spelled it for me (?) — «L — A — M — B. Lamb.»
Uh oh. This was already not going well…
Then when I kind of whatevered her in my head and went to pick up this sexy, sexy purse she said: «Yaah, It’s six hundred.»
–sigh–
It can all just best be described as something like that scene in Pretty Woman, where the pretty hooker has a ready and willing credit card, but the chicks at the counter still act all schisty to her.
Okay then, umm, where should I start? Well, I have a B.A. so I know what a lamb is and how to spell it and I’ve read In Style before, so I know what a L.A.M.B. is too. And when you’re a salesperson trying to sell something, usually you say the price once you’re asked or the while the sale is being made, not as some weak ass attempt to scare people off with your ooh la la price tags.
They do have a decent selection of designer clothing here and, I don’t know, maybe they act better to people who are thinner and have little arm dogs with them or something?
Whatever man. They have L.A.M.B. at the Rack, too. For way less — attitude and money.

Oh Intermix, you’re beginning to frustrate me…
Your online assortment is far better than what you present at your retail locations. Why oh why? I see tons of things on your web store that I want to buy, but when I go to my neighborhood Intermix store the same pieces are rarely there. It’s a tad bit hard to plunk down the wad of cash your price tags demand without even being able to slip the garment on and see if it makes my butt look big or not.
The selection at Intermix is not terrible… you get a nice (but small) array of Missoni, Herve Leger, Cynthia Vincent, DVF, Mara Hoffman, Rachel Pally, etc. The staff at this location always feels a tad standoffish and rarely offers up help when you’re looking for specific pieces that aren’t carried in-​store. I expect a higher standard when shopping for the type of statement items they carry here… The convenience factor is much higher though than heading all the way downtown to shop for things that I can find in my own backyard. Point being… don’t make a special trip here, but if you live in the area, scour the sale racks, you’re likely to find your next couture steal!
