In Short
Robin's egg blue and tangerine walls stenciled with butterflies don't overpower this expansive showroom of designer and the store's own line of clothing. Premium denim in all washes and cuts line wooden tables, providing… Read Full Editorial

Good selection, very trendy boutique by WindyCityNewbie via Citysearch on 11/2/2009

You can find good deals here and there, but if it's not on sale, it's definitely over priced. I enjoyed the large selection of clothing and the sales person was very helpful. The quality of the clothing might not be the best, and the…

Great Shoes! by colby via Citysearch on 8/3/2009

When I first moved to Chicago there was only 1 Akira on North Avenue in Bucktown/Wicker Park....now I think there are about 5 spanning from the old neighborhood to downtown....it's kind of disconbobulated. \r \r Anyways, despite the…

Akira has cute clothes by Natalie L via Insider Pages on 7/9/2009

Akira has really cute clothes at a cheap price. I love all of their tops and dresses. The staff never seems to be friendly with me, but others say they are great. There are really cute shoes at some of the locations too.

large selection! by rosa c via Insider Pages on 4/14/2009

The clothes here are very nice..just don't expect to wear half of them to a formal place. Most of the clothes are to be worn out to a party or a fun night out.

Great Clothes, Great Prices by vogue g via Insider Pages on 12/5/2008

This store is actually one store divided into multiple stores on the same street. Womens, mens, accessories are separate and worth going to each. Original designs are trendy and inexpensive, shoes are cute and unique. I get more…

overrated by avalilyrocks via Citysearch on 6/2/2008

My friends recommended that I should go to Akira because according to them they have amazing unique clothes. So I went?.and I was not impressed! I went there ready to waste my money! They do not have any unique clothing. All their…

akira: temple of the gods by tracyvanfrey via Citysearch on 4/9/2008

omg! i totally cannot understand these negative reviews from some of you! AKIRA is totally like the trendiest store in Chicago and we should all bow our heads in honor of this divine blessing bestowed upon us! i mean really, if you…

VERY poor quality/service by ollierae via Citysearch on 6/18/2007

What a terrible store. The shoes I bought fell apart after 3 wears and they won't take them back because they have been worn outside and I'm past the 7 day window for returns by one day. Sorry, but shoes should last more than a week and…

Trendy with a twist by theprettyone2 via Citysearch on 3/2/2007

This is a shop that I visit on more than one occasion. I love there service and there trendy pieces. I was hosting a birthday party for myself and I wanted something very way out and trendy. The sales rep was very helpful! I was…

Terrible, snobby service, no returns by jproh via Citysearch on 2/18/2007

Stay away! Terrible, snobby service. I had to seek someone out to talk to for ten minutes. When a sales person finally broke away from personal conversation, they treated me as though I didn't deserve to be in their store. There are…

Keeps getting better! by citygirl2007 via Citysearch on 11/21/2006

I loved this place when it was half the size and right down the street from my place. It just keeps getting better (not to mention, bigger!) - great selection and you can find some great deals too! Check out the shoe store by the same name…

Great selection of funky, unique clothes and footwear!! by ufkitty79 via Citysearch on 11/20/2006

Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for friday night or something for a special occasion, Akira can help you out. My favorite Akira store is their shoestore. Although some shoes can get pricey in there, their selection is so…

Ridiculous Return Policy by annak81 via Citysearch on 10/5/2006

I bought a pair of boots at the Akira on North Ave., wore them inside at my office for a day, and noticed the zipper had partially detatched from the leather. The boots cost over $100 so I immediately brought them back to the store. …

Trendy Short Stop by chicagofied via Citysearch on 1/26/2005

I love this little store. I've only been to the on Clark, but the customer service was great. They asked me what I was looking for and suggested items that fit my individual style. They do have a harsh return policy, however, it was…

TERRIBLE Return Policy!! by slisk1 via Citysearch on 12/30/2002

For holiday shopping, I decided to purchase from a neighborhood retailer this year. Unfortunately I made the mistake of shopping at Akira. I attempted to return an item and was only offered in store credit as opposed to a full refund. …
