How do you Do Division? Since the alignment of our universe with all that is good in the world, the West Division Street corridor has become one of the hottest shopping destinations in Chicago. And there's no better season than Spring to experience all the strip has to offer. We're taking a moment to update you on events that a few of our fave shops are doing this spring leading up to the big Do-Division Side Walk Sale.

Greenheart Shop
New arrivals from fair trade dress makers Mata Traders and coming soon is SOBREMESA, Greenheart’s very own comprehensive, fair trade tabletop line. On May 12 Greenheart is presenting the Greenheart Earth Olympics, a daylong “field day” for adults, kiddos, hipsters which include various eco-conscious mind and body events.

Eye Candy Optics
Eye Candy is introducing a new Barcelona-based, Milanese-manufactured eye wear line named Etnia. The material Etnia uses is a high-performance “acetate block” which is made from acetone and turned into a solid mass due to a drying and pressurisation process.
