I have been a customer at Saffron since it first opened. Store owner, Padmaja, makes beautiful custom clothing and always carries styles and lines that are sophisticated yet fresh and fun to wear. My closet is peppered with dresses I've bought from Saffron over the years and I still love them all. It is always fun to "dig around" and find little treasures throughout the store; there are many items that make great gifts. If you have something specific in mind, the service is great and Padmaja can point you directly to what you need. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, making the entire shopping experience a joy.

This is my favorite shop in Bucktown. I've been a customer for 10 years and love it! Unique array of accessories, such as jewelry, scarves, gloves, and purses. Always has a great selection of earrings that make great gifts, as do the cookbooks, candles and lotions. The owner has a terrific sense of style that's reflected in the clothes - everything from casual G1 pants to beautifully feminine skirts and dresses. Great place to chat with the owner and other shoppers. Truly a wonderful little urban sanctuary in the city.

This shop is quite a gem in the bucktown community. It has several unique clothing lines including G1! This is the the perfect shop for gifts of just to treat yourself to something fun. The owner is very friendly and not a pushy sales person. She is very knowledgeable about clothes including how to care for your newly bought item. She has her own line in the store as well. In addition to clothes, she has candles, books, journals, food items, housing decorations, and jewlrey. If you are buying a gift, definitely have them wrap - the packaging is great!

Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean, Indian, and other ethnicities fuse to create stunning scarves, skirts, bags and other gifts for men, women, and children too. This truly unique shopping experience has its costs but the fusion of amazing colors that composes these sometimes eccentric pieces is definitely worth a little of your time and attention.

Padmaja has great taste. It feels good to shop at Saffron. Love the G1's and the accessories.
