Footwear e-tailer BucketFeet (Chicago) has signed a long-term lease for its third retail store.

The store will be located in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood and is expected to open within the next two months.

The company, which calls its stores studios, sets up its stores as part showroom and part retail space, according to Women’s Wear Daily. It works with the designs of a new artist each month for its footwear collections for men, women and children. That artist’s original works are also highlighted as part of the décor.

BucketFeet, which opened a Nolita store in Manhattan opened last month, plans to open at least three more studios this year, including international locations in Asia. In addition, a summer pop-up is planned for Taipei, as well as a year-long pop-up in Hong Kong. The company is also considering pop-up locations in London and Amsterdam for this year, reports WWD.
