MEET NEEDS OF STYLISH, POLISHED, PUT TOGETHER WOMAN…

…AND THOSE WHO WANT TO BE JUST THAT

LIBERTYVILLE – If she has that urban, contemporary look, chances are she got it from ENAZ On The Park, the trending 2,500-square-foot store in Libertyville.

Satisfying the fashion needs of the casual, polished, put together, on-the-go woman, and those who want to be just that, sisters Melinda Kaplan, Samantha Shapiro, and Lena Blitstein, and their mother and retail store founder, Susan Lurie, offer the newest, most notable clothing lines, vibrant looks, LOCAL artisan jewelry, handbags, accessories, and custom day spa that matter to their clients.

“We’ve been in downtown Libertyville facing Cook Park, the town’s often festival-like community gathering place, for over a year and the reception to our lines of clothing and one-of-a-kind jewelry selection from women throughout Lake County has been gratifying,” said Shapiro.

ENAZ (the acronym for Energy, Nature, Attitude, and Zest for life) On The Park, 111 W. Church Street, around the corner from Mickey Finn’s Brewery and a hundred steps west of Milwaukee Avenue, has cultivated a loyal following due to its dedication to community and family. 

“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 come to ENAZ On The Park for the wide variety of offerings…from vibrant t-shirts, 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 in the store 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.

ENAZ On The Park clothing lines feature Michael Stars, Sanctuary, J Brand, Genetic Jeans, Central Park West, and its own ENAZ 4 Life label.

Its jewelry offerings include local designers, Rita Ratskoff designs, Dana Rebecca Designs, Shoshanna Lee, Avaasi, Allison Fiutak, Graziela Gems, and many more.
