Renegade Craft Fair | Photos

I remember the first few years of the Renegade Craft Fair, when it was a small concern in the southwest corner of Wicker Park: Most of the wares for sale were cool art prints, handmade clothes and the occasional tie with a bird screenprinted on it. Then a few years on, it seemed like half the stuff there was adorable, idiosyncratic baby gear. The participants had grown older and savvier: Making things that appeal to families as they built families themselves. Now the fest is basically an all-out family affair and, to my mind, all the merrier for it.
