LOL at abandoned. Aarti, I can't comment on which new designers are becoming popular in stores or boutiques on the East Coast but will say this: check out sites like

http://www.chicagofashionista.com/shopping_chicago.htm

and (I'll say this not for the first time) grechenscloset.com

Just curious - what do you think of this? It's minamalist, as mentioned in the product description:

Been browsing around websites of a few Chicago boutiques (those that do have websites, that is).

Ply Design products look interesting.

Their backpack has, according to their website, won an award from I.D. Magazine:

Their "Patch" handbag can be worn over the shoulder or across the body. I think it's cute.

Must say the Village Tannery products look like classic bags that aren't exactly trendy but will last for ages.
