Rättvisa Andersonville diversity, equity + inclusion

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community. Since the pandemic began, we’ve all discovered how important shopping local truly is; without our neighborhood businesses, we lose our sense of community,” reflects Milk Handmade owner Hallie Borden. Open since 2012, the clothing, self-care products, jewelry and accessories sold at Milk are locally-designed and made. Milk even has a signature clothing line, designed by Hallie herself, who was named best local designer in Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago 2020.

Since 2017, Transit Tees in Andersonville has been passionate about their customers, drawing inspiration from the CTA, Chicago history and the city’s many communities. During the pandemic, they have offered curbside pickup of one-of-a-kind games, puzzles and more through their online store and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. “We want our customers to be reminded about all the things they love about Chicago and the small businesses that make their neighborhoods special.” Bryn Mawr Jewelry Co. relocated to Andersonville in February 2020, but current owner Scott Freeman has been running the business alongside wife and business partner Jill Freeman since 2004. ”A lot of what we do is a collaboration between us and our clients. Vintage jewelry is a huge inspiration.” Visit in person, book an appointment or private shopping experience or browse the vast online inventory, and follow Scott on Instagram @dancingjeweler for stellar dance moves and beautiful jewelry.
