“Seymour Paisin Ladies Apparel, 2629 W. Devon in Chicago's W. Rogers Park Neighborhood, was founded by Paisin (1912–87) and his wife Ruth (1914–77) in 1950. More than a beloved clothing store, it was a hub of style, sophistication and community. Until the early ‘80s, the boutique brought high-fashion to the Windy City. As you stepped in, you were enveloped in elegance, surrounded by racks of exquisite dresses, coats and scarves from top designers. They took pride in curating a selection to make their customers feel like royalty, and their personalized service made everyone who walked in feel valued. With her keen eye, Ruth traveled to NYC and Paris to stay on top of trends, bringing back coveted pieces to share with clientele.“
