After a few off-putting experiences at the Hinsdale store (almost feeling like I was a burden to…read morethe staff at times) I had a pleasant experience most recently. One of the sales people, Lisette, was very engaged and went the extra mile to ensure I was taken care of. She brought me some options I never would have picked for myself and showed me different ways to wear, roll, button, etc. As a mom who has not felt stylish since pre-kids, it was a pleasant experience. I've always liked their selection - both clothing and home - but as we know, service speaks volumes. I appreciate Lisette and hope they keep up this top-notch service.

First time here! Such a well organized, visually appealing store!…read more It's October currently and this store was very fall! Everything was super on trend. They have tons of teenage and women's clothing options, home goods, and Knick knacks. There is tons to look at and it is so beautifully organized and well placed. Pricing is on the higher side but for how well everything was displayed, organized, the quality of items, selection, and the area we are in, it seems about right.

I have been working with Kelsey and Beverly as both a consignor and shopper for just over five…read moreyears now, and there is no one better than them. I previously consigned with a larger, national brand in the city and had multiple bad experiences, the culmination of which was them literally stealing a bag from me. That would NEVER happen here. Kelsey's combines high powered expertise and reach with small business personal touch. Items I drop off are meticulously tracked, and receipts/pricing is sent for my approval usually within minutes of me leaving. I've sold many designer bags, shoes and pieces of clothing with them and have never had issues with their pricing or payouts. I'm very knowledgeable of the market myself and we always see eye to eye on pricing. You can collect your balance at the beginning of each month and they'll have a check ready and waiting for you. Despite absolutely having the knowledge and ability to resell my pieces myself, I choose to work with them because it's such a great experience from beginning to end. Their payouts are at a higher percentage than what I have seen elsewhere, but even if they weren't - I'd still choose to consign with them. Not to mention, they're super fun and just great women to know. I can't recommend them enough!

Sadly I found some non-luxury pieces in their jewelry section: a Kendra Scott necklace next to a wrap bracelet is an odd pairing. Their shoe selection is STELLAR- find your size and go! The gals are always welcoming and friendly - no matter if you're having a bad hair day;) Their prices reflect the luxury pieces. This is not a "priced to move" shop. This is an upscale resale shop. Happy shopping!

Located in downtown Hinsdale, Alixandra Collections (there is also a sister store in Western Springs called Alixandra Blue specializing in jeans) has a wide range of belts, bags, jewelery, shoes and clothing. Since the store is large- everything is clearly displayed. Gotta love it when shopping is simple!! I have bought several bags and accessories here and am always asked where I got them. The owner of these boutiques brings in the the most unique products and there is always something new! You know its good when it makes one of Chicago Magazine's top boutiques of 2007 and it is not even in the city!! The beauty of Hinsdale? It's only 25 minutes from the Loop and for all you city snobs- no- you don't need a passport to come out west!

I brought back 2 items today (January 14th) and was told that all items had to be returned by January 10th. No exceptions. And what really shocked me was that they wouldn't even give store credit. And the items were not seasonal- they were earrings and a neutral purse. I will definitely avoid shopping in this store again.

I purchased a dress which is final sale- it broke the time I wore it. Within 2 hours at a wedding…read more We had to sew it up given I didn't bring another dress. Anyhow, fast forward I brought it in 3 days later to explain the issue. Worker said she had to contact owner as she was unsure of what to do- totally fine. Owner reached out and said dresses are final. My problem is obviously it was defective and any dress I would expect would last longer than 2 hours. She also reached back out and said to bring it to seamstress. Which is not an option given all material has been compromised. In addition, she reached out to vendor and they said nothing they can do because it's wear and tear. So she said I should reach out to them. I would give a 0 star if possible Absolutely unbelievable. She suggested I did something in the dress- I was sitting at a dinner? And then commented that I'm making a big deal out of a $300 purchase... Im absolutely appalled by her customer service and not working with me and having an option even the possibility of another dress as obvious as it is that this particular dress is defective, a refund, or even a credit- NOTHING. I would understand had I just wore dress and tried to return but I would not expect any apparel to not work after 2 hours this particular dress had a zip that broke. I would not recommend her store to anyone based on putting product out there that doesn't withhold at least an event and how she is talking and working with her customers.

What a treat! First of all, this store is sooooooo cute! It is every girly-girls dream come true!…read more A colleague introduced me to Clever Girl three years ago and every time I have gone in, I have found something that I have fallen in love with. What I love about Clever girl, besides the fact that it's a mini-department store is that they truly strive to curate items that are stylish (without being too trendy), unique and budget friendly. At Clever Girl, you can find women's clothing, accessories (I saw the same enamel bangels featured in "O" Magazine here in some of the most tempting summer colors), items for the home ( the best smelling candles ever), and baby items. You will also find a great selection of greeting cards, other stationary items and exciting odds and ends here. The selection is always changing and it feels like a new store every time I have walked in. And when I leave with my purchases in hand, I always feel like a clever girl ;).

Since they have relatively limited merchandise and are often out of varying sizes you are forced to just pick something if you need to return an item. I received gifts from SO and my options for exchange were minimal. I normally wouldn't have purchased the items I selected for the exchange. There is a big push to shop local small businesses but the return policy is a big turn off.

Do not enter the store if you are not of Caucasian decent!!!…read more My eyes caught some sneakers that are displayed in the front window so I went with my daughter and husband. There was another customer in there who just got out of the dressing area receiving positive and cheerful comments. Both sales associates were very pleasant to her. Since I carried my daughter who was about to fall asleep I asked my husband if he could inquire if they had the sneaker in a size EU 36. Oh boy that demeanor of the heavier set sales associate changed! Cold and rude she snapped saying that this is a size 6, which I confirmed to my husband. He added, kindly what the return policy is since he already knew that I wouldn't be able to try them on in the store, given I carried my half asleep daughter. In a condescending tone we were told that we can only return via store credit. Check out was cold and unpleasant. Amusing that the heavier set sales associate seemed so pleasant to the Caucasian appearing customer but not to us. I always felt that the Hinsdale community is rather diverse in respect to suburban communities but it was evident that some of the quiet parts are still very loud and obvious. Will not set another foot in this store. All of this commotion and absurd behavior over some cheap Sneakers.

I usually come from Chicago to the burbs to knockout shopping in one area. This strip mall that…read moreUncharted is located in meets this need. I happily stumbled upon Uncharted as I ventured the strip. At first I was rather overwhelmed and had sensory overload from al the cuteness, but quickly became familiar with the store after doing an initial walk thru. They have a nice selection of clothes and carefully curated items. I appreciate the variety and can see my wallet hurting if I brought my teen and tweenage girls. Last but not least, they had the Swedish gummy pop up selling at a great price. You bet I took advantage of that! I will definitely come back with my girls and maybe a mom's only shopping trip.

No, it was a couple of moms and their tweenish daughters, and for a moment I thought, this store isn't for me. They pulled on the locked door a few times, and when it finally opened, I made my way into the store, along with a few other people. It was a store for me, and them, and you and your friends. Uncharted is a very nice gift store, and larger inside than you expect. There were candles, housewares, cards, clothes, toys, jewelry, candy, men's gifts, and more. It's an updated and more trendy Hallmark store. The staff were very nice, and asked me to join their rewards club. I declined, as this location is a little far for me. I did purchase a cute scratch-off artpad for a gift and some pretty notecards.
