These five jewelry trunk shows run from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Both stores are open Sunday, October 4, from Noon to 4:00 p.m.
The Shop For A Cause event is spearheaded by store owners and sisters Samantha Shapiro, Melinda Kaplan, and Lena Blitstein, who are well known for giving back to the community that supports them.
Most recently, ENAZ (Highland Park), ENAZ For Life (Northfield), and ENAZ On The Park (Libertyville) collectively earned the accolade of Best Accessories Store in the annual "Best Of" Initiative voting by Make It Better magazine's audience. More than 105,000 verified votes were submitted across 10 categories. Said Make It Better in summarizing its unique qualities: "Energy. Nature. Attitude. Zest For Life! This accessory store brings all of these to the table with their designer jewelry and spa products."
Satisfying the fashion needs for 22 years now of the casual, polished, put together, on-the-go woman, and those who want to be just that, Shapiro, Kaplan, and Blitstein, and their mother and retail store founder, Susan Lurie, offer at their three boutiques the newest, most notable clothing lines, vibrant looks, local artisan jewelry, handbags, accessories, and custom day spa that matter to their clients.
"As women and sisters, devoted to our families, socially active, on-the-go from early morning to night, we are our own demographic," said Blitstein, who often attends Fashion Week events in
New York City to keep up with the latest styles. "Our clients like what we like so it makes it easier for us to deliver what they need."
"We're more than just a store," said Kaplan. "We listen carefully to the personal and professional fashion needs of our clients and make sure they go home confident in their selection. We truly care about how they look and feel in their different environments."
Clients from as far away as Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles shop ENAZ (the acronym for Energy, Nature, Attitude, and Zest For Life) for the wide variety of offerings…from vibrant t-shirts, denim, chunky knitwear, and dressy pieces to custom jewelry to the more than 25 scented oils for blending into silky lotions and bath gels.
"When you walk into our stores you see carefully chosen pieces on clean and organized racks and mannequins with the season's hottest looks," said Shapiro, who serves as buyer and merchandiser while Blitstein is buyer and head of marketing. Kaplan is director of operations.
Its clothing lines feature Michael Stars, Sanctuary, J Brand, McGuire Denim, Central Park West, and its own ENAZ 4 Life label. Its jewelry offerings include local designers such as Rita Ratskoff Designs, Dana Rebecca Designs, Shoshanna Lee, Avaasi, Allison Fiutak, Graziela Gems, and many more.
The custom Spa Bar offers up lotions, bath gels, and perfume oils to treat the body and spirit as well as specialty baskets for special occasions and holidays.
ENAZ On The Park, ENAZ, and ENAZ For Life, host many special trunk shows which feature a variety of clothing and jewelry designers. Its dedication to customer service even extends to its free signature gift wrapping.
The ENAZ concept was created and developed by Susan Lurie in 1993.
