I drive down from southern Rhode Island every six weeks or so and shop for myself at the men’s store and for my wife at women’s store. Caroline is genuinely an outstanding shopkeep, calming presence, impeccably dressed and she never makes you feel rushed. Chickee’s is one of those rare places that creates a world and Kathleen’s world is one in which buying into feels like a no-brainer. The vintage, while some of the best and most curated I’ve ever seen, is beside the point. The tags on all of the garments, little paint stains on the sweaters and the scuffs on the shoes tell a story and it’s easy to see these items trouncing through Capri in the 80’s or going to work at Condé in the early 90’s. Last thing I’ll add is that good vintage for a guy my size (6’1” 210lbs) is really hard to come by and they do an outstanding job of making sure there’s sizing that serves everyone. The web shop is just the tip of the iceberg, you need to get to the stores! Thank you, Kathleen and Caroline. The shop is truly outstanding.
