About Panache
About Panache
For nearly 25 years, Panache Boutique has brought women of all ages everything they need to feel good about themselves, from the perfect little black dress or the stop-you-in-the-street coat to a one of a kind handbag or belt. The boutique was originally founded as a unique accessory shop, where women could find the “panache” for any occasion. Finding beauty from within is the hallmark of Panache – women walk in hoping to find an outfit, and often times, walk out with a new, better sense of self. Panache offers on-site tailoring and parking is ample along the newly reinvented Clark Street.
Panache Boutique Biographies

Lynne Barnett
As owner and founder I have been passionate about my store for 25 years. It has and will always be about my customers needs. My personal goal is for each woman to feel valued for her individuality and life experiences. It gives me as much pride and pleasure today as it did when I first opened my doors.
I am honored to have been featured on Oprah as one of the hottest boutiques in Chicago. I promise to continue to live up to those standards.
For those who know me well, thank you for appreciating my eccentricities and love for what I do. It is my pleasure to offer appointments on request anytime for any customer. Thank you for the first 25 years. Here’s to another 25! |
