This place rocks! Full of variety and style for everyone. Nick is super nice and was super willing to let me try on plenty of things. If you're a motorcycle enthusiast, this place has it all. read more

Make sure you stop here if you are doing the retail stores on West Chicago Ave. Fashion here is probably considered functional upscale biker for women and men. Although you don't need a bike to shop here. Clothing is definitely great street wear. They do have a great selection of sterling jewelry and motorcycle helmets. Some men's clothing and a lot of women's clothing. They do have changing rooms to make sure the fit is to your liking. read more

All around cool small store. Chic biker esthetic. Retro helmets & gloves. I got my fav biker jacket here a few years back & it's aging perfectly. Great men's & women's selection. Great jewelry! Vintage & new turquoise. Unique designs. I've gotten some of the best pants from here. My wide leg leopard jeans get me so many compliments. Today's purchase was a jean vest for $60. There are 2 dressing rooms available. Biker tanks & t-shirts for girls & guys. Body oils & candles. Go to spot for a cool gift or something for myself. read more

Stay Away. Staff at register was unwelcoming and very rude to my boyfriend and I, pretty much told us to not pick anything up if we weren't planning on buying that very moment. How will a customer know he wants to buy a helmet without looking at it? We have a bike, he's been looking for a new Bell helmet upgrade from his Bitwell and this store had a real nice grey one that we were looking at and the owner proceeded to call us out from the other end of the store to tell us to not pick anything up unless we bought it, in front of customers mind you. Horrible customer service and basic manners. Really unfortunate the cycle scene has brought such an unwelcoming group of riders as its evolved into a fashion show for some... !!! Pretty much if you're young or a person of color, take your money elsewhere !!! ALSO most of the stuff is cheap and drop shipped and you can find better items at a Cycle Gear. read more

Cute jewelry, t-shirts and affordable motorcycle accessories. We bought our helemets, riding gloves, tshirts and jewelry. I have my eye on the twin cam pendent! Bonus this is close to West Town Bakery and other great Ukrainian local stores!! I scored these Tshirts and bracelets today! read more

See all

Bad service! Tried to return an item that was only tried on and was met with sassy attitude. Expensive item of clothing that was tried on once and had receipt and tags in the bag (that weren't ripped off). Desk lady would not even consider it was the product but insisted I wore the item even though I only tried it on. read more

Such a delightful place! I ended up purchasing more items than planned, which was quite amusing. The clothing selection is really impressive. Originally, I intended to buy riding gloves, but I left with a t-shirt, side bag, gremlin bells, and of course, the gloves. read more

Great selection, great staff. Super helpful. If they don't have what you need in stock, they can get it for you. This place is the cat's pajamas. Look no further for your motorcycle gears needs. read more

Kris was amazing! Super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great selection of t-shirts and leather jackets all at reasonable prices.

This is such a fantastic store. The costs are likewise really affordable. Some of these genuinely astonished me. I just came here after reading all of the great reviews on site. They said that this store has a lot to offer so I came here, and they are all right! Cause I bought so many motorcycle accessories and also jewelry for my wife. I think she will like it because they look so lovely and I can imagine it to her, wearing it. I couldn't be happier since I discover this shop! My adventure was fantastic!!! I was blown away by the assistance and knowledge I received from the staffs here. They are all very knowledgeable when it comes to motorcycle, I just recently bought mine that's why I'm not that well-informed about it. So, I am very thankful for their advise and some tips. When I have more time to take it all in, I will definitely be back to make some purchases. read more

This store is amazing! I just happened to find this place while on my birthday trip to Chicago, and I'm so glad I did. I had been looking for a leather riding jacket for a while, but didn't have many in person options in Columbus, OH (unless you want to buy a Harley jacket from a Harley dealership). The help I received was personal and insightful, and I am happy to say I found my jacket! I could not recommend this store more highly. I just wish I lived closer! read more

I just went in there yesterday after reading all the positive reviews on here. I couldn't be more happy! My experience was awesome!!! The help and insight I got was amazing. This is my first helmet ever since I'm getting my first motorcycle ever in July. And I couldn't be more happy! Thank you read more

I bought a helmet here. The person fitting me had never ridden. She suggested that I get a helmet that fit quite snug and told me it would give a bit. After 4 hours of wearing it my face was literally in pain. I called back to ask about exchanging it for a bigger size and only then did she tell me that they do not return or even exchange helmets. The excuse was that the brand, Biltwell, wouldn't let them. I called Biltwell, this isn't true. Online stores like RevZilla allow you buy the helmet, try it a few days, and still return. The sales person said the owner would call me about the exchange but I never heard from anyone. Save you're $200 and buy from Amazon or RevZilla. As much as I want to support local stores, buying safety gear at this store is not a good idea. This is really a jewelry shop. read more

This is by far my favorite boutique in Chicago. Nicole the owner is the best shopping buddy you will ever have. Whether you are shopping for yourself, or someone else, she will ask you all the right questions, and steer you towards the best purchases. If something breaks or if you realize the ring you bought was too big, no problem, she will help you figure out a solution. Such great customer service. The store is stocked with really trendy and interesting jewelry and accessories. The style is kinda boho/biker/gypsy/native American. She has also been expanding her home decor selection, which has been great for house warming presents. And it's so reasonably priced, it's unreal. Next time your out grocery shopping at Mariano's or if you're shopping around for a cool birthday present, you should really stop in. It's local and it's awesome and is really deserving of your support! read more

Always cool stuff and always great services Great place to get really cool stuff read more

Very cool store. Reminds me of items and stores you can find in Texas. The prices are also VERY reasonable. I was actually surprised at some of them. Unique jewelry and purses too. Will def be going back to make some purchases when I have more time to take it all in. read more

Tarnish is my favorite store ever and me and my roommate are going tomorrow and buying EVERYTHING!

This store kicks serious a**. Nicole, the owner, has impeccable style and the pricing is great for what you're getting. Hurry up and check this place out before the owner realizes she should charge more for her products! read more

I love this place. I've stumbled here a few times and am so happy. The shop owner is amazing and gives me HONEST styling opinions! I found so many great affordable pieces ranging from 14$-40$. She has a couple higher end pieces by Vanessa Mooney that I've been eyeing. I will be in there again soon! read more

A boutique I visit often in Chicago. I usually buy their jewelry that comes in a great range of prices. Lots of cute home décor, jewelry, clothing, and biker gear. They have Bandit Brand (look it up and you'll get somewhat of an idea of the theme of the store - Modern Rock & Roll, maybe?) Definitely a cool place and the owner is friendly. read more

Super cute shop with awesome stuff! The owner is really nice as well. I pretty much wanted to buy everything in this place.

Love this store! Everything is a mix of biker, rock, Americana. Really cool. Reasonable prices. Picked up some great jewelry. If I had the money to spend, I would have picked up several leather jackets. The girl working was super duper friendly! read more

These ladies held it down for small businesses saturday! I sipped a Stella while staff helped me find the perfect presents. I thought their handbags would be out of my price range, but I was so wrong! They've got an awesome variety of accessories. The jewelry is so affordable and cute! Loved this spot. read more

Great selection for a great price. Sunglasses are under $20 and bags are under $50. Lots of cool jewelry too that I'll go back for.

My friend and I were visiting for the weekend and we found this gem of a shop close to where we were staying. The jewelry is fantastic and we ended up buying house decor, leather purses, clothes and lots of jewelry. The second time we went back we met the owner Nicole, who was lovely, helpful and so nice to tell us where she found each item for her store. You could tell that she cares about her business and only wants handpicked items. I am looking forward to visiting Chicago again to stop by. P.S. The prices are great. The jacket my friend bought is also at Nordstrom for a lot more $! read more

Tarnish is an awesome shop with lots of cool items that will appeal to everyone. I was referred here by a friend, as I was looking for a Roland Sands motorcycle jacket and was hesitant to order online because I wanted to make sure I got the right size the first time, instead of buying and returning an expensive jacket several times until I found the right size. I was SO happy to find a place that carries RS gear (they also have an awesome selection of Biltwell helmets as well). I came into the store with my wife and 18 month old daughter, and Nicole the owner was super accommodating and friendly. My daughter was running all over the store - just like any 1.5 year old would do - and Nicole was so cool about it. She wanted to make sure I would find what I was looking for and was hanging out with my daughter while I was trying on jackets. With my ladies in tow, I was not able to bring my bike with to make sure that the jacket fit properly and she even said that I could bring it home first to make sure it fit! As nice of an offer as that was I came back the next day with my bobber (and more uninterrupted time). Not only did Nicole hold the jacket for me so no one else would buy it, but she let me take it out of the store to make sure that it was comfortable to wear on my bike. She even took pictures to make sure that the jacket I wanted provided the right coverage. Now THAT is customer service! It was clear to me that Nicole was more concerned with me getting the right gear, than making a quick sale which provided a refreshing retail experience. She is an excellent businesswomen who takes pride in her establishment. I love this place, and will certainly be a repeat customer. I highly recommend you check it out - you won't be disappointed. read more

I really like this place. I always find cute things here! It is a small shop, but the owner has cool and unique taste in clothes and jewelry. The clothes have a little bit of an edge to them and are priced from about $20-$80 depending. A cute top might be about $35 or $40. They also have some biker jackets and things. I love the jewelry, which is pretty cheap, but very cute. There are a few quality pieces that seem to be made of better metals that are a little more pricey. Can't wait to see the new items in stock every time I go in. If the prices were a tad less and the store was a bit bigger I would give 5 stars. I hope they expand! read more
