Best shop to find local artisan products. I bought two of the loveliest earrings from this store. The owner is very knowledgeable about each of the artisans. She explains the person behind their work. If you are keen to support local talents. This place is definitely a must visit in Chicago.

Great shop in Lincoln Square for unique gifts made by local artists & artisans! I had the chance to be a featured artist at Raw Edge and the people working there were very welcoming (including Simon, the adorable owner's dog). I was amazed by the variety of items they have and how many artists they are supporting. I can't recommend it enough!

Lol, I just figured out how to add a google review and I’ve been meaning to do it about this place for a long time. I wish I had pictures to post! This place is by far our favorite shop in Chicago. Our home is decked out in art, plants and candles from this place. The team is so sweet and helpful. One time I was desperate for some tissue paper for a gift and I didn’t even buy anything and they gave me some. You gotta go! The stuff is so cool. Best place for gifts!

I had the opportunity to do a pop up here, showcasing items from my small business for a week. It was such a great experience, and the owner and each person that works at the shop was so friendly, supportive, and uplifting throughout the entire process! I am so thankful to have connected with Raw Edge ?

Another "cute" gift shop in Lincoln Square. It is cute. It's a fine example of exactly what it is- a place that supports smaller makers by selling cute, "quirky", gift and home decor items. The prices are about right for the neighborhood, which is to say they're slightly more than most people would want to spend on an impulse buy. They have dog sweaters. They have baby shirts and onesies with Chicago-specific graphic designs. They have a LOT of earrings. It's not a bad place, but I wouldn't call it a necessary place.

Yesterday Bonnie absolutely made my Thursday! This lady is in the business of people and knows how to make you smile. She makes so many recommendations and genuinely gets to know her customers. The boutique is such a unique spot and you’ve got exactly the right person in Bonnie there to showcase ?

Beautifully curated items and absolutely top notch customer service! Maria in particular went out of her way to help me find what I was looking for. I’m not local but will return to Raw Edge anytime I’m back in Chicago.

This is such a cute shop! They have a great selection of gifts including candles and other craft/artisan items. I especially love the plants and planter selections. The associates have also been so helpful each time I went in. Definitely a great business to shop small and support local!
