Vividbraille (CLOSED)

In 2003, Brock Willsey launched Vividbraille as a T-shirt line. The brand has since expanded and opened its flag ship store in Bucktown. “We refer to our store as a studio boutique,” Willsey says. “Aspects of the design process are actually done here in the boutique, and there’s an emphasis on design and craftsmanship throughout all the products.” In addition to Vividbraille, other men’s and women’s lines featured in the store include Opening Ceremony, Y-3, Marshall Artist, Naked & Famous, and Ashland Leather. The shop/studio space also offers custom tailoring, alterations and screen printing services. Screen printing and leather working 101 classes also available.
