Founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, TOMS —the fashion brand whose philosophy is "improving lives through busi- ness"—has landed in Chicago. The Wicker Park outpost (its fourth nationwide) showcases TOMS' innovative lines of shoes and eyewear as well as its newly debuted TOMS Roasting Co. coffee. A nod to Chicago's industrial architec- ture roots can be found in both the café and the boutique, which boast steel and brick accents as well as a giving-themed mural on the store's brick-walled alley. The pet-friendly space offers a retail post and a community meeting space for those in the area looking to be inspired by the brand's giving spirit. 1611 N.
