We stumbled upon Posh luckily as we finished brunch and were strolling along for some donuts. We passed posh and decided to stop in and take a look. Posh is a unique little antique/gift store downtown. They have a lot of neat items and tend to focus on Paris/French dining items. With a few English things thrown in. I would say it is a 50/50 mix of vintage and new. They did have some amazing vintage bar items. As well as lots of neat old European silverware.Now pretty much every antique/gift store has unique items. And I dont review every shop I go to, what made me review posh was how wonderful all the staff was. Every staff member was super engaging friendly and felt like your neighborhood best friend. This is a must stop for shopping engage with the staff they love and know their business.

We were walking back to our hotel and noticed this place and decided to check it out. We bought something small. The staff was very nice to the people in front of us and their entire demeanor changed when helping us. Didnt smile, barely talked, and just overall cold. Which I found odd. We went into the establishment not knowing what it was, while there are alot of nice items... We dont have a use for most of the things in there but we still wanted to support and buy something. I just wont go back when we visit again and Im sure they would prefer that anyway.

The Magnificent Mile has mostly big name, big box stores. We wanted more of a boutique setting. This filled the bill. Nice gifts. Heavy French and British influence based on fact that owners, when we visited, were former flight attendants on Transatlantic flights. Very nice staff.

A surprising range of affordability was nice to see. From super high end silver drinkware to some nice little (still high quality) knick knacks. Really fun place to stop in for a bit.

Great store, lots of great vintage itemsI found this great garlic jar here.

Such a cute, quaint and colorful antique shop. So much fun browsing all the little details from around the globe. Must check out all the lovely french souvenirs!

Cute little store. More of an Etsy type place than a shop stuffed with antiques, but an enjoyable shopping experience. Id go back. :)

Beautiful little hidden gem! Love all the amazing stuff in this store. If I wasnt traveling super light I probably would have tried to just purchase everything in the store lol. The aesthetic is very French boutique, and they have so many gorgeous pieces, from tea sets, to absinthe sets, to antique jewelry, to fun souvenir pottery. The staff that was working (not sure if owner or staff) was very nice, knowledgeable and just fun to talk to. I definitely will be back anytime I come to Chicago.

Selection is well curated! Most of the items I was attracted to were imported from UK and France. Love the posters and the cheese knives and tiny spoons and the tea cloths and the bowls oh and the yummy jam, hot chocolate in a square tin (delicious by the way) and... and ... Just go there. Youll enjoy browsing but I bet youll end up with a bag in your hand. Cant wait to go back! Staff is friendly. Closest garage is located about a block or two from the store. I came from the garage and noticed their store window. I had to go in. One of the best decisions I made on this trip (next to having cookies at Stans and taking the architecture river tour - highly recommend) Street parking available.

Oh, one of Chicagos amazing hidden treasures...literally! This store has so many interesting, historic and beautiful items for your home and so much more!! Dont forget to check out the jewelry too! Its like a mini museum with things you can buy for yourself, your home or gifts for others!

This store is so charming. A great place to get gifts for foodies and Francophiles!

Cute little spot for a lot of different items from glassware and silverware. The lady was extremely knowledgeable about the items she had.

Super cute store with lots of gift options!

I absolutely love this store and it has become a yearly Christmas shopping tradition for my husband and I. Great retro diner coffee mugs; I even found camp fire girls mugs! Beautiful China, silverware and serving pieces at fabulous prices. There are so many beautiful things to see in this store from stationary and maps, art and dishes all with a retro twist....you just have to go!!

This is a typical French store that sells a variety of antique French products.

Such a beautiful and unique store. So glad I stumbled upon it. Made me happy the moment I stepped inside.

A beautiful store with lovely merchandise

So much heart in this store. Talk about an experience that makes you want to just buy... anything. Really enjoyed browsing and just being in this space.

Accidentally found this on my trip and I went back four times in one weekend big fan!

My favorite shop in Chicago! Soooo many cute stuff and feels like Im in a store in France :)

Absolutely love the store! I come here every time I visit Chicago without fail. Lots of antiques. Some with a French touch. Something for every room. Something for every age. Displayed so creatively.

Love this little shop in downtown Chicago. Every time Im walking and see it, I stop in my tracks because it is so cute. Loaded with wonderful little items for the household, maps, and French cooking Ware and recipe books.

I seldom visit Chicago without paying a visit to P.O.S.H. Even if you dont need anything, this is just a fun store to browse. They have a wonderful array of antique and vintage finds from Europe with a heavily French leaning. Youll find interesting sets of dishes from hotels of yesteryear, nostalgic home accents and decorations, a great collection of holiday wares during the winter season. The staff are always pleasant and helpful.

This is one of our favorite shops in the city. They have a unique creative mix of old and new. French theme. We go whenever were in the neighborhood.

I love this store. Cute cute cute. Little French antiques and tableware. I stop In everytime Im in town. Tea towels and espresso cups and cute plates.

Have been meaning to come by here and I was not disappointed! Stocked with beautiful china - some vintage, some new - lovely tea towels and colorful maps, chic matchboxes and antique match strikers set amidst old leatherback French novels, vintage suitcases and thick brocade drapes make it a definite visit. Plus the lady working there was so nice.

Great staff and great team. The owner is a saint and helped us with our project. Love her!

Always some interesting finds here!

Beautifully store with the French flair

Seriously adorable store! It was busy when we stopped in and the employees were still super nice and helpful.

This store is a DREAM, I spent a good time inside! Absolutely love everything. In case you are looking for romantic accessories and decor, is the place to be.

What a delightful and surprising place. Had a great time and found wonderful gifts for myself and the folks back home.

This is a hidden jewel in the middle of downtown Chicago. Looking for a unique gift? you will fine it here. The owners and their staff put all their effort on making your shopping a great experience.

Consistent unique and quality kitchen and other wear... plus my go to for eternity for can’t be beat wine bistro glasses. Do not miss if you are shopping In the area (or even if you are online!).

One of my favorite boutiques while in Chicago. Quaint and nostalgic. London and Paris items. 😍

I love this shop. There are so many charming things that are so full of character - antiques, reproductions, and quality current products.

POSH is such a great place to shop for special pieces for your home or for an out of the ordinary gift. I live in Cincinnati but I always try to visit POSH when I’m in Chicago! Love it!

I love their merchandise. I could spend so much money there, but have to restrain myself. They procur their merchandise from flea markets and estate sales in Europe. Beautiful collection.

Unique items in a unique architectural space.

Beautiful

If you are looking for unique finds for your kitchen and dining room you need to look no further than P.O.S.H.! Honestly as a great area for antiques and vintage goods you can find quite a bit else here well but my wife is a foodie and chef so unique kitchen items are always what I have my eyes open for - P.O.S.H. delivers it in spades!Its a bit of a hike north from where I usually tend to be in the city but the few times Ive been there Ive struck gold on each occasion. From glassware (I found a great wine glass here!) to dishes to serving pieces to storage and more - you can almost always find something fun here. While the prices can absolutely rise up there (it is in the heart of a city and they import originality from around the world) there is items in all price ranges and budgets with items on sale as well.If you are in the middle of the city and want to find a gift that falls into the unique category I suggest checking out P.O.S.H. for anyone who likes vintage or for those who are comfortable in the kitchen. (Again theres a slew of other items here as well but if thats who youre buying a gift for you cant go wrong!)

If you love unique kitchenwares that hail from eras of old, then you will love this shop. It is one of the most unique and wonderful shops Ive happened upon. I wanted to take the entire shop home with me.

Very nice staff, interesting selection of items at reasonable prices

Cute shop with lots of fun things. If I were looking for a set of snazzy dishes or a gift for a housewarming Id head here.

A gem of a store! Fabulous items, wish I had a lot more room in my suitcase!

Great place to get most unique items for your home. Owners are the best too. Make sure to stop by and check it out.

I believed that this place was selling real vintage and international goods... until I saw the recipe box I purchased from P.O.S.H. a month later in a sale bin at Anthropologie. Very disappointing.

Fun store, but take your time to take in everything!

My favorite place for home decor, hostess gifts and great vintage finds. Have shopped with Carl and Steven for almost twenty years, since their Southport location.

Lots of cool stuff youd never find anywhere else. Many things are from overseas or vintage.

Fun trinkets, nice place for unique gifts.

Charming store! A little slice of Paris without the flight. :)

So, so chic! Best gift store for exigent people

I love this store.

Cool unique gifts

Cool finds but a bit overpriced

Nice place to buy gifs

202107Super cute little shop. The owner also enthusiastically recommended me to go to Andersonville, a Swedish district in the north, to kill the next day and go to love bursting. Thank you, boss!Everything POSH carries has been carefully selected and my eyes were all googly the entire time I was in the store. So cute! And also thank you SO MUCH for recommending Andersonville! I went the next day and loved it I spent the whole afternoon there!

If I had lived in Chicago, I would have heard it once a day. A good place to be romantic

Very fashionable accessories. But there are no Chicago souvenirs. It might be better to shop window because the price is high.
