Leica Store Chicago

Our Store

The two-storey, 400 m2 Leica Store Chicago is located in a heritage building with a listed Arts and Crafts façade. This decorative style is known for its fine craftsmanship and timeless elegance. On North Michigan Avenue, one of Chicago’s most exclusive shopping streets, architectural history meets modern urbanism. The neighbourhood around the store is home to international luxury brands, the Museum of Contemporary Art and theatres and galleries.

The entire Leica portfolio is found on the ground floor, including home cinema and watch departments. The range is complemented by pre-owned products – timeless treasures guaranteed through certification. The lofty, light-filled Leica Gallery on the upper floor offers the ideal space for international photographic art. A VIP area and bar invite you to escape the hustle and bustle and connect with others in a relaxed atmosphere. Our team are on hand to assist you with personalised advice and comprehensive service. Finally, curated events and temporary exhibitions promote dialogue within the Leica community.
