BAM

Broadway Antique Market (BAM!) in Chicago. ​It is one of the city's largest and oldest antique malls, featuring items from over 75 different dealers.

They are known for their extensive collection of high-quality Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern furniture and decor, vintage furniture, art, jewelry, and fashion.

The store is quite large and not as cluttered as many antique shops tend to be.

I'll keep the photos of furniture for later, and share some photos of vintage clothing, shoes and accessories.

Vintage evening wear garment, most likely from the 60s or 70s is a pale yellow brocade fabric with beaded detail.

Genuine leopard fur hat (popular in the 1940s-1960s before conservation efforts)

Ladies leather ankle boots. The square toe was characteristic of late 1960s to early 1970s footwear.

Mens 1950s silk ties. Such wide and crazy prints! My mom once had a commission to make a quilt out of men's ties. I don't remember any of the fabrics in the quilt being as bold as these prints are!

If you happen to be into vintage fashion this would be a fun place to go shopping!
