Abby Chic

Elmidae by Abigail Glaum-Lathbury Spring Collection

Drew Carey: Welcome to The Price Is Right!

Today we’ll be playing for pieces from Abigail Glaum-Lathbury’s new line, Elmidae. The design darling just launched a spring collection available exclusively at Habit. Contestant No. 1, spin that wheel! Oh, the yoked cardigan. Guess the price!

Contestant: $300.

Drew smirks.

C: $275?

D: Folks, it’s incredible, impossible, unbelievable! Every Elmidae item costs between $60 and $120.

Crowd screams.

D: The five-piece collection inspired by Madeleine Vionnet is impeccably constructed: two cardigans, a puff-sleeve sweater, a double-layer tank in an adorable navy and white print, and a Möbius scarf. Tiny details — yoking, geometric stitches, pleats — enhance Elmidae’s sweet aesthetic. These prices are the righest of the right, ladies and gents.

Looks like everyone wins.

Available at Habit, 1951 West Division Street, at Damen Avenue (773-342-0093 or habitchicago.com).
