Marché Privé

Marché Privé, a curated luxury pop up market, is proud to announce its returning event celebrating Chicago's BIPOC creative entrepreneurs.

Serving as the unofficial kickoff to the inaugural Chicago Fashion Week, Marché Privé will take place on Saturday, October 5th, from 10am to 3pm at The Promontory, located at 5311 S. Lake Park Ave., Chicago with a fashion forward theme.

This daytime social and vendor fair aims to be a

celebration for all, offering an opportunity to support

local BIPOC businesses. Admission is free for all guests,

and the event will feature a vibrant atmosphere with

music provided by DJ Tess and a bar open for

purchases.

"We are thrilled to introduce Marché Privé to the

Chicago community, providing a platform to showcase

the incredible talent and creativity of BIPOC

entrepreneurs," said Maureen Crichlow, Hyde Park

resident, owner of the wellness brand Moonstone

Chandlery® and creator of Marché Privé Chicago.
“After vending at over a hundred local markets, I wanted to

create an opportunity for others. I think it’s so important

for BIPOC creative entrepreneurs to develop spaces to

flourish in business.”

Maureen is organizing the event with the help of fellow

creative entrepreneurs Peter Gaona, owner of the

esteemed culturally conscious fashion brand Reformed

School and Brittany Ramsey, owner of

#Thisisthecookout, a purposeful statement fashion

clothing line.

“At #Thisisthecookout, a key part of our mission is to

celebrate and uplift Black people, our culture, our

history, and our advancement, while fostering

community. We hope that an event like Marché Privé

provides opportunities to connect, promote and

highlight the immense creativity, vibrancy, and talent the

city of Chicago offers, in all BIPOC creators,” stated

Brittany Ramsey.

From fashion and accessories to self care and home

decor, Marché Privé will offer a curated selection of

luxury goods crafted by local BIPOC artisans. “We are

providing an immersive shopping experience you will

not receive online,” Peter Gaona added.
