A visit to Harpo Studios is often the highlight of a trip to Chicago, and now visitors can pick up an Oprah-approved souvenir or two before they leave at her new store, located right around the corner from the West Loop studio complex.
Stocked with logo-emblazoned separates for fans of all ages, this sunshine-filled space also features an assortment of Oprah’s favorite books (including titles by Maya Angelou, fitness guru Bob Greene, and relationship expert Robin Smith) and handcrafted items from South Africa, the home of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls.
Some recent picks include adorable baby gear, brightly colored sweats and robes, and exotic beaded bowls and other decorative objects evoking Oprah’s passions.
While the merchandise in the store may change with the season, everything has to pass muster with Ms. Winfrey herself before it reaches the store’s shelves.
Visitors can even try on – and purchase - select items from Oprah’s closet, including eveningwear and designer shoes. Shoppers picking up a few new favorite things need not feel guilty about splurging either, because all the store proceeds go directly to Oprah’s Angel Network.
