Chicago Hoodies x IHCC 2025: Community, Culture & Commerce at Navy Pier
On October 9, 2025, Chicago Hoodies proudly joined the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (IHCC) Annual Business Conference & Expo at Navy Pier — one of the city’s largest gatherings of entrepreneurs, innovators, and community builders.
This year’s event, themed El Mercadito (The Little Market), brought together over 2,000 participants and dozens of small businesses from across Chicago. We were honored to be part of this dynamic showcase sponsored by Amazon and DoorDash — representing our city’s neighborhoods, stories, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Throughout the day, we connected with incredible attendees, including members of the Little Village Chamber of Commerce, whose pride and knowledge of their neighborhood inspired us deeply. They reminded us that Little Village isn’t just a cultural cornerstone — it’s one of Chicago’s top spots for commerce, community, and creativity. Conversations like these reaffirm what Chicago Hoodies has always stood for: our neighborhoods thrive when we lift each other up.
A special shoutout goes to our El Mercadito vendor neighbor — the amazing author of Fun Day with Misa (Día Divertido con Misa): A Bilingual Children’s Book About a Little Puppy with a Big Heart. 🐶💛
It’s a joyful story that celebrates kindness, love, and language — the perfect read for little Chicagoans and families everywhere.
From Bronzeville to Pilsen, from South Shore to Humboldt Park — we’ve weathered tough times, but we remain rooted, proud, and united. Every hoodie, tee, and design we create is a love letter to that strength.
Introducing the Pilsen Collection
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newest designs honoring the vibrant Pilsen community — available now in both a hoodie and a tee.
Like the murals that line its streets, our Pilsen pieces celebrate art, resistance, and the power of heritage. Each item comes with a collectible postcard sharing the neighborhood’s history and cultural heartbeat — designed to make you feel that same pride every time you wear it.
