Here’s Your Sign: Rag & bone coming to Plaza del Lago

Continuing a trend of quiet arrivals, New York-based clothing brand rag & bone has installed signage at Plaza del Lago.

The Plaza del Lago location — 1515 Sheridan Road Suite 25, which is listed on the business’s website — will be rag & bone’s second in Illinois — its other at 25 E. Delaware Place in downtown Chicago.

Most of the store’s locations are in the New York area (15 locations) and Los Angeles area (9 locations).

The 20-year-old brand has “a commitment to doing (things) the right way, not the easy way. To making things that are as original as they are timeless,” and says its items combine “the easy elegance of classic British tailoring, the authenticity of American workwear, and the originality of our home city, New York.”

Rag & bone will occupy Suite 25 in the plaza’s northwest building that includes anchor store CVS. Its neighbor to the west will be another newcomer, Jenni Kayne.

It is not clear when rag & bone will open. The shopping center is still undergoing renovations; though, Jenni Kayne has promoted a June opening.

What’s happening at the Plaza

Rag & bone is the fourth publicly announced new tenant, along with Hermès, Jenni Kayne and James Perse, joining Plaza del Lago under its new owner as of 2022, WS Development.

While open, the historic shopping center is currently under construction for facade, signage, parking and other improvements. WS Development President Samantha David told The Record more about plans for Plaza del Lago’s future in an exclusive interview in January.

Community members are eagerly awaiting more tenant announcements. Spaces are open with the departure of several former Plaza businesses, including Yellow Bird Stationery, Chantilly Lace (both of which moved to downtown Wilmette), Cluckers Charcoal Chicken and Rosati’s.

To that end, WS Development has kept its cards close to the vest. David said in January, “There is going to be stuff that people love of all different price points — some high price points, some low price points, some local, some national. All different things. It is going to be a very eclectic mix.”
