East coast native Suzanne Robin didn’t set out to own a boutique store, much less a store in the Midwest. “I’d always loved oilcloth and found that it was underutilized, so I bought oil clothes and made a tote one day,” said Robin. The former advertising account executive says oilcloths are great for more than just outdoor products because they are light weight, durable and water repellant. From making that one tote in 2003, Robin has since relocated her boutique store Flee Bags from a 500-square-foot space in Boston to a space in Winnetka that’s just under 1,000 square feet.
