Look for designer labels here you won't find in the rest of the mall..
The Scene
Mark Shale offers mall-shoppers a classy alternative to the clothing lines at every other shop around. The Chicago-based store carries quality career clothing and weekend wear that exudes a whiff of style and elegance, for both men and women. Designer lines include Joseph Abboud, Barry Bricken, Segio Pellari and Ike Behar. Look for cashmere, drapeable wool gabardine and fine cotton. The lower level of the store caters to women and carries evening wear in addition to its other lines. The extensive selection of unhemmed slacks is a blessing for tall and short men and women.
The Goods
Unlike department stores, when a salesperson here says "May I help you," the intent is sincere. Though it may feel foreign if you're used to bargain shopping, take advantage of it and let your helper bring different sizes, coordinate an ensemble or offer an experienced opinion. Mark Shale also offers free alterations for the life of your garment, as well as shipping.
