The instruction said to check in with the security guard and guess what,? No security guard. Call the direct line and was told someone would get me. Waited another ten min for him to get me. I was taken to a small, tiny office. Then, I was offered the lowest price I had received for my watches. This place SUCKS. Don't waste your time with this company. They say they will offer you the best price, but that is a lie!!!!

OMG! This designer is awesome! I have purchased several bags from her on-line store (all…read morecustom/hand made!) and now she has a beautiful little store in Evanston that I had to visit last week and ordered another purse! So I now have 3 purses and one on the way. I'm so excited about my new purse. It takes a little time to get the final product but it's so worth it! I mean, it's hand made, really, perfection takes time. It's not like these purses are mass produced! It's one beautiful little lady doing all of this painstakingly by herself! Amazing woman and amazing product! I bought a purse for my mom and one for my sister. My mom loves her fancy purse! My sister is obsessed with hers and she uses her it all the time! She won't even change purses. I promised to take her soon so she can pick out a summer purse since she's been carrying her purse since last August! I mean last night, she was showing me her old (store bought) purses and was asking me if I want them. Really, my sister offering up anything of hers is not gonna happen so giving me her old purses, wow! I'm super stunned. I told her we can have a yard sale to get rid of her old purses. That excited her since that means she can get another BelloBerry Design! Very high quality, extreme attention to detail! The owner is super nice and loves her customers and every item she makes to order! I can't say much else other than I just love BelloBerry Designs! LOVE!!! Oh, and I love this little store! It's funny, I was there for the grand opening and some lady tried to take her chairs cause they're so pretty. The store is so cute, so go on in, take a seat, check out her designs, pick a fabric or purchase a design that's already on display for sale (she sells other handmade accessories too) and walk out a very happy and content customer for life! Then wait for all the compliments! I get compliments on my bags everywhere I go. Ooo, la-la!

The shop owner is wonderful, will custom…read moredesign your purse to exactly the way you want it - right down to the pockets, zippers and straps! The shop is awesome, too! I was so overwhelmed with all the different fabric choices and styles. The price is actually worth it since there is quite a lot of care and workmanship that goes into each bag. The shop owner is also open to having a private purse party for you and your closest friends so you can hang out, help your friends choose a purse and fabric and have lots of fun doing it! I know, because I've had one myself!! I currently have 3 bags from this shop, and am hooked. I plan to come back soon to purchase yet another. Thanks so much for all your hard work on each and every creation you make!! See you soon!

Fast forward 25 years and we bought my wife's anniversary ring there from his daughter Melanie. Again great service and the jewelry is phenomenal in our estimate. They are now on Michigan Avenue.

My wife and I genuinely trust them to give a great product at an honest price.

WM Trading is located in the lower level food court area of the Richland Center building.  This…read morebusiness was perfect for our current kitchen remodeling project.  It turns out that WM Trading is the only Midwest dealer for Pacific range hoods.  Pacific is a Taiwanese company that makes high powered range hoods.  They had the range hood we were looking for, a good price, and best of all it was in stock and we walked out on this only visit with our hood.  Wong was the attending sales lady, and was helpful, friendly, and technically knowledgeable about their products.  We normally and happily get any and all of our appliances from Abt Appliances in Glenview.  In fact we had already picked out a Zephyr range hood, but due to the Covid business interruptions, product availability was in the atypical state of essentially unknown - it could be 2 months, or could be 6 months, who knows.   We then recalled that a couple of old Asian acquaintances had a Pacific range hood and decided to check this product out.  Wong subsequently informed us that Zephyr and Pacific are actually part of the same company with the former supplying the "American" market and Pacific supplying the Asian market.  No wonder the attractive similarities in their products!  Out of curiosity, I asked her the demographics of their customers, just wondering if they were all Chinese with their store being in Chinatown, and she said they were interestingly all either Chinese, Indian, or Mexican.   Makes sense - all tend to be heavy duty good cooks in need of a strong range hood for occasionally oily fumes!
