Marc by Marc Jacobs Chicago

First of all, let me just say you aren’t here to make friends, you’re here to shop. Now that we’ve got that out of the way… Im a huge fan of everything Marc creates and I came in to buy a new bag. The sales team was nothing less than friendly and helpful. I left with an awesome bag and they got a sale. I would definitely go back.

The customer service here is wonderful! The girls behind the counter are super helpful, savvy and charming. They’re ready to help you if you have a question and are flexible and attentive, even when the store is busy. I bought my first Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag here and the sales rep was so sweet and gave great advise. Planning to make regular pop-​ins here for their perfume and little cute knick knacks/​gifts.

Those shoes were like a work of ART. Pointed toe flats with a low, clear heel, and an ombré pastel rainbow print…$ 278. If I were a shoe, I’d be THIS shoe. But this shoe wasn’t going to make it home to my closet.
If you like Marc Jacobs — minimalist, clean lines, on trend — you will like this store and you know what you are getting into.
However, the jewelry and accessories were modestly priced. We eyed some items that were $ 12 – 27. Most of the store is stocked with handbags and clothing.
The beautiful Marc Jacobs beauty line is available in store too. I swiped a few prismatic colored eyeliners on my hand and sampled a few lipsticks. The lighting in this store will make your skin look absolutely stunning and pristine. I puckered my lips and took a duckfaced selfie to post on Facebook for documentation.
I’d pop in again if I were in the neighborhood, to check out the accessories. But for more beauty purchases I’m likely to go to Sephora since it’s closer to home.

I’ve been popping in here once in awhile since I was in college and although it’s way out of my way, I like to stop in. My favorite is their little fun knick knack items at the front, although yesterday they didn’t seem to have as much as they usually do. I picked up a silver ring that says «for protection» in Latin ($ 4) and a metallic rose gold key chain for $ 7. I’ve bought the wishbone necklace, other jewelry and keychains and rain boots here before. I love my boots, they were $ 10 and are perfect! I will say sometimes I feel like I am being judged by their employees and I have been in there before where no one has acknowledged me, but yesterday there was a blonde girl who was very friendly and helpful.
I usually park on the street for free, but yesterday I paid $ 1 and parked at a meter. I will be back again eventually!

Easy to park, clean and easy to navigate store. Be careful of the items on sale at the registers… they’ll suck you in!

Love this store! I love that there are a lot of things that are super reasonably priced and I just love the whole look and feel of the store. The workers are friendly and helpful, which is another added plus. I also love that they carry so many different types of Marc Jacobs products. I can’t wait to come back!

This is a great store. They carry all the Marc Jacobs lines– Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and even Jacobs by Marc Jacobs. They have high quality items, as well as cheaper items. At the counter, they always have very affordable, and very chic jewelry. I’m talking rings for $ 5, bracelets for $ 10, and necklaces for $ 22. These make very good gifts! The only thing is, they don’t give gift boxes. They also have amazing sales. Yesterday, they had men’s tee shirts for $ 5, jeans for $ 10, and leather belts for $ 10. For the ladies, they had jeans for $ 20 and rain boots for $ 10.
The salespeople are very nice, and not pushy at all. They never make me feel guilty for leaving without purchasing anything, but when I do buy something, they are quick and friendly at the counter as well. If you’re in the area, check it out!

This store is great. They always have what i need for my wife, or are willing to order it for me. They always gift wrap my items when I purchase them and they handle all of my questions and concerns. They even help make recommendations and give me tons of advice on gifts.
They have an awesome section of unique books too. Customer service is great and i always have a good experience here.

Ah, I LOVE it here. I look at this store and I basically see what I want my future badass apartment to look like once I’m able to afford it (which at this rate will never happen since I keep spending all of my money here)
The best part about this store is that they have specialty items that you can only buy at Marc by Marc stores. They are all well designed and high quality but way less expensive than typical Marc Jacobs items. For example I just got a lot of really great, funky silver jewelry and everything was between $ 3 and $ 20. They also had specialty Marc Jacobs condoms for $ 2 each. Pricey, sure, but why not get your lady something special, ya know? Safety AND fun design!

The employees here are not your typical high end retail workers. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve walked into a high end boutique to be treated as if they were not working retail but actually curing cancer in the back and I was merely interrupting their progress by walking through the door. Here at Marc by Marc they were welcoming and they loved my dog which makes me love them.
Sure, there is some overpriced crap here but there are also lots of good deals. If anything stop in just to see the cool décor.

I buy lots of nice watches here!
I always get great service as the staff is very helpful
Great bucktown location!

Loooove their jewelry! The clothes are great too and oman, the purses are just stellar. The service is alright, I feel like folks there get kind of snooty sometimes, but they are helpful nonetheless. This place gets bonus points for being down the block from my house. The only bummer? If you buy a gift for anyone, be prepared to have them ship it to you to return because there’s no other way for them to return it. I got my cousin a ring there that was too big and I had to take it back for her. Annoying, but oh well, at least I get another reason to go in there!

I love this place. I think I went there every day I was in chicago. I literally nearly spent my whole, well I did spend my whole check. Lolz. Customer service amazing, great area and easy to find. The layout was great and they make you feel like you can afford anything you want. Though I won’t be in chicago for a while I hope the one in new york gives the same great service when I move there ! I love you Marc :-)

Though I had mixed emotions when this store opened long ago, there are perks to this place. There is a pretty solid mix of cheap goods to be found here. My favorites would be my rain boots, that ladies will never stopped complimenting, and fingerless gloves that are only $ 3 per pair.
Of the many purchases that I have made here, one of them has stood out above the rest in greatness. I bought a book titled 3DD. It’s a celebration of breasts in 3D. As my featured coffee table book, it serves as a valuable tool for filtering out who may or may not be a keeper in my dating realm. Any time I leave my living room and come back to see a girl sitting on my couch, wearing 3D glasses, a warm sense of delight begins to overwhelm me.
Otherwise, I just come in here to flirt with the staff.

Droooooool.
Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers so I always jump at the chance to come here, especially when I have out of town visitors looking for great shopping. I am a complete junkie for accessories and Marc by Marc Jacobs is fueling my addiction. MJ has unique and affordable jewelry, shoes, purses… pretty much anything you can think of.
I could skip the whole trip to Wicker Park and order my purses from Nordstrom, but the service keeps me coming back. Honestly, if they’re mean to you its probably because you messed up their painstakingly arranged t-​shirt piles. MJ is super organized and as an ex-​retail slave/​monkey, I understand the sheer horror of watching someone mess up hours worth of folding instead of just asking for the correct size. Seriously. The employees have always been super helpful and sociable during my visits.

Oooooo yeah LOVE. this store!
I’m a huge fan of Miss Marc and Mister Marc items. Borderline obsessed, so where to go… without having to order online? Marc by Marc Jacobs of course! Nice selection but I was told that there are others that come in JUST for Miss Marc so I have some competition! Recently I came in to get a Miss Marc shopper tote just as a casual bag to lug around when running errands but it was sold out! *sobs* But they had Mister Marc– nipple showing. Who could resist? jk. No really, I was there for a tote, and I’m getting one. But which color to buy? (yeah I’m one of those annoying shoppers) Jason gave me his opinion AND grabbed a 3^rd opinion from another sales girl. So helpful. He even looked in the back for any other Miss Marc’s left but nope, I was there too late.
It’s awesome he took my info for any future Miss Marc bags coming in and would contact me if a Miss Marc item I wanted was low in quantity so I can come in and snatch it. I love Marc’s more casual line, and the skinny jeans here are fabulous!

Big store, had a lot of selection (clothes, bags, shoes, accessories). They also have great prices. It’s also in a great area. The staff was very very friendly.
I’d like to come back!

So they said I couldn’t come in with my icecream.
I’m 27 years old. Perfectly Capable of not getting icecream on myself or other people.
I could understand if it was a cone… or if i had two scream sticky face kids. But seriously. Just rubbed me the wrong way.
Beyond that the staff was ok. The prices at Marc are very inexspensive and reasonable.
Good selection and A lot of sale items

Mmmm… love this store! To me, it is aesthetically flawless…
I swoon for the glossy concrete floors, avant garde art installations (well, hello Mr. Skyhigh Swan!!), rows and rows of luxe tufted leather bags, clothing arranged by color, even a sick selection of Wellies lined up like soldiers and a tucked away corner of fabulous, decorative coffee table books. A little OCD organization is always good for the soul.
The Marc by Marc items vary from phenomenally funky to (almost) utilitarian. Take your pick from statement pieces (like the amazing, sumptuous navy wool and floral print shifts) or fully functional-​while-​fashionable items like t-​shirts, swimwear, totes and shorts all with a touch of signature MJ flair.
True, items here can be pricey… I often joke with my shopping posse that all clothing in Marc by Marc is $ 298… it’s just the going rate. Of course bags can be upwards of $ 1,000+ (ouch, those are the purchases that sting…), but that silk geometric dress you love? $ 298. The glorious cream-​colored inlay sweater to top it? $ 298. A flattering pair of five pocket knit pants? $ 298. You can easily spend all day wrestling with your conscience on how to justify an almost three hundo dollar spend on items so vastly different from each other…
Splurge on one. Then grab a pair of those (such a steal) $ 28 rainboots — love ‘em in black on green — and a Modern Americana coffee table book for your viewing pleasure. Rationalization over. Happy Shopping!

I recently popped in the store on a very rainy Sunday. The store was packed, but there were several sales people who were incredibly helpful. And, although alot of the clothing is soooo not my taste (a bit too young), they indulged my shopping spree (for my daughter) and even suggested a few pieces that were definitely my style. Overall, the prices are quite manageable… there were T-​shirts for less than $ 30 and I love, love, love the wellies I bought (again, less than $ 30).
Not a place I’ll become addicted too, but am already thinking about stopping in tomorrow to buy this handbag that was calling my name as I left!

My man, Marc, is one of my favorites… right behind Nanette Lepore and Rebecca Taylor. And when I walked by his boutique today I realized I’ve never actually been inside. Actually I don’t think I’ve ever been in any Marc by Marc Jacobs boutique. I know, I know… and I call myself a fan.
A trip in here is so not good for the «save money» 2009 New Years resolution. I immediately spotted like 57 things I just had to have… mostly cute casual dresses, but cute shoes, coats, purses, and even mittens too!
I was excited to see the $ 50 or under rack in the back, but disappointed when everything on it was ugly or velvet. Really Marc… velvet in March? Me thinks not.
But when I have some cash to burn (perhaps 2010?) I’ll be back…
