Our job at Balani is to unwind the uptight image of custom clothing. In our modern showroom, we present the tradition of custom fit clothes through a contemporary lens. With a commitment to quality, we collaborate with our clients in a new way to exceed expectations. It’s your style, your way.
We’re a lot like fashion: always changing. Founded in 1961, we’ve been making clothes for Chicago’s well-to-do for nearly 50 years. Yet the only thing that has stayed constant is a commitment to our clients experience and the quality of their clothing. You can find our showroom in the heart of the city’s business district.

The Greenheart Shop is a non-profit eco-fair trade store in Chicago. We sell products which are both fair trade certified and environmentally sustainable. Fair Trade ensures that artisans and farmers are paid fair wages for their work, no child or sweatshop labor is used, production processes are environmentally sound, and that a portion of proceeds benefit community development initiatives such as education, health care, clean water, etc.
