Chicago’s Disgraceland Shop is Closing

Last year, I was heading to Chicago to do a TV segment for the Fox news station there on thrift stores. A fab reader named Clara suggested that I check out the Disgraceland Store on Clark St. I immediately fell in love with the store, especially its huge selection of vintage jeans for normal prices ($20 and under) and its staff member Paul, who was super nice as we tore apart and rearranged his store for the shoot. I’ve been back a few times since and every time found a nice little addition to my closet for under $20. 

Fast forward to this past weekend, when I received a note from Paul that, after 13 years, the store lost its lease and will be closing. They’re having a big sale, with everything in the store is at least 50% off, with most things well under $10. Sunglasses and sterling silver rings are 6 bucks. New hats are $6 to $8, plus all jeans, tops, shoes, etc are on sale as well.

Check it out:

DISGRACELAND
3338 N CLARK ST
CHICAGO IL 60640
773-281-5875

P.S when you’re finished with Disgraceland check out the Ragstock around the corner. Love the vintage prom dresses

Enjoy this post? Spread the joy.

Oh wow, that sucks. I’ve never been to Disgraceland, but I love Ragstock. I’ll be in Chicago this weekend, will it still be open then?
