P.O.S.H. Chicago

The countdown to Christmas is on, which means it’s time to finish that last minute holiday shopping! As some of you know, Ioanna recently found an interest in antiquing and finding unique items for her home. This week’s guest is the perfect example of an unique retail experience where antique meets new! Karl Sorensen is the Owner of P.O.S.H. here in Chicago’s river north neighborhood! P.O.S.H. is a remarkable retail store that was born from an idea that the shopping experience could be something different than it typically was in back in 1997 when the store was founded. Featuring a mix of antique items, trendy new gifts, and one-of-a-kind treasures, there’s something for all shoppers, budgets, and occasions! Karl joins us to talk about how he got into antiquing decades ago and what led him to founding the store. Hear about his adventures traveling the world as a flight attendant and how those early trips to Europe formed his unique aesthetic. Learn what P.O.S.H. stands for and find out the fascinating history behind their historical building the shop lives in. We talk to Karl about antiquing and how he finds his treasures, plus his views on why the store is so comfy and gives off major chill vibes. Shop P.O.S.H. at 613 N. State Street here in Chicago, or browse and shop online at the link in our bio! (hint: they release new items online every Friday at 9am CST)!
