Chicago Tribune interviewed Lori Andre, founder and owner of Lori's Shoes. The conversation is a fun and interesting read, especially for shoe enthusiasts and value-conscious shoppers. She shares how her store has persevered through three recessions and her thoughts on couture shoes. Spoiler alert, much of what consumers pay for with couture shoes is the name. [Chicago Tribune]
