Chicago’s most discerning shoppers will want to flock to SPACE 519 when owners Lance Lawson and Jim Wetzel welcome Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato and their “Fortune Finds” shop-in-shop at SPACE 519. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, November 3 from 5 PM – 8 PM and the shop-in-shop will remain open through the weekend.
This is the first time the sisters will bring their multi-faceted “Fortune Finds” event to a location outside of New York. The shop will feature one of a kind items collected from their travels around the globe – including African baskets, Moroccan Rugs, Mexican Copper Platters and Auntie Otie Napkins. The event will also contain a deep assortment of handmade jewelry, small leather goods and other personal accessories from Lizzie Fortunato’s Fall Winter 2016 and Resort 2017 Collections
SPACE 519 co-owner Lance Lawson will also stock the shop-in-shop with his own assortment of found vintage home and personal items. “I’m excited to build upon the very chic finds of these very chic sisters with my own mix of vintage home and personal accessories,” notes Lawson.

About Lizzie Fortunato
Lizzie Fortunato is an 8-year-old accessories brand specializing in costume jewelry - produced locally in NYC - and novelty leather goods, which are made by hand, on looms in India. The brand is co-owned and operated by twin sisters Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato and is heavily informed by travel and artisanal crafts. Lizzie is the designer and a collector of textiles; her twin sister Kathryn has a background on Wall Street and manages sales and operations. Given the influence of travel and craft work on the line, in 2014 the sisters launched 'Fortune Finds'. Fortune Finds are a range of one-of-a-kind items from the girls travels (Japanese ceramics, Peruvian Mantas Oaxacan baskets) as well as curated items from designers and artists they admire (metallic wall hangings from Native Line, custom collages by Caroline Z. Hurley, ceramics by Chikako Kojima).
