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 don't know how stores get away with a 7 day refund policy anymore . It's so anti- customer . For…read morea busy professional it's hard to get back within 6 days if something doesn't work out . Apparently I showed up on day 8 and had to accept a crappy paper receipt as a store credit instead of a money back refund. I honestly don't know if I'll even use the credit knowing how shitty the return policy is . I'll be reluctant to shop here again out of principle . The sweeter I returned was so cheap and shapeless. Even though it's more expensive, the quality of the clothing and the much friendlier policies make Evereve the better option all day long .

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!

My mother went into this store earlier today, and had a terrible experience. I would advise anyone…read morewho doesn't want to feel body shamed not to bother. Apparently high-end fashion is only for small bodies, and despite many of the brands this store carries has sizes over a size 10, this store does not carry any of those items. While this is not exactly an uncommon experience in high end stores unfortunately, typically at other luxury stores the staff is at least apologetic and willing to help you order a correct size, but that was not the case here. It was also not like she was looking for a crazy size - 12 - and after a quick google search, many of the brands listed carry to a twelve, some even higher. Warning to anyone who isn't tiny, this store is not for you. You would be better off looking directly to the brand, or going to a different store that isn't going to make you feel like you have to look and be a certain way to shop there, or at least would be willing to help you find clothes that fit you

Wow!! (But not a good "Wow"). I visited Sweet William for the first time based on recommendations…read morefrom two friends. When I arrived, there were three employees in the store. I was the only customer. I was dressed nicely but not dressed-up. I am a firm believer that one need not "dress up" to go shopping. One woman who, I think is the owner, said "hi" to me but nothing more than that. Not one of the employees ever asked me if I needed help or what I was looking for. While I was looking around the three of them stood in the middle of the store chatting. My guess is based on what I was wearing (again, nice) likely made them deduce that I couldn't afford their clothing, nor was I the right clientele. Guess what? I could more than afford that store. I have bought many of the brands they carry from other stores. My husband and I have a HHI that I predict is well beyond any of their's including the owner's. That, however, should not matter. How unfortunate it is when people judge others so harshly and wrongly. Shame on all three of you women who were in the store today, August 3rd at approximately 2:30. My husband and I recently moved from the Gold Coast downtown. I can tell you employees at the stores on Oak St. (far nicer than Sweet William) were always welcoming, friendly and helpful. So many customer reviews say how nicely they were greeted; how helpful the staff is; great personal service etc. The staff I WAS NOT greeted by today was unfriendly and the epitome of snobby.

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.

(And I was being VERY reasonable, giving them 2+ weeks between phone calls, being extremely patient and polite, etc.) Every time I spoke with the owner, she said she had just gotten back from vacation, so be happy knowing that you're financing her long vacations shopping here. At NO point, did either the store owner or worker ever use the terms "thank you" or "sorry". The owner actually said to me, "I want to figure this out so I can just be done." They made it seem like it was my fault that this happened and it took almost 2 months to resolve. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. (Although the rich, white women who shop there may have a different experience -- see the groupon reviews for more discrimination.) The stuff the sell is nice, but overpriced. The clothes only go up to 12months and everything you buy from there smells like the overpriced donuts they sell next door. Go elsewhere where people are kind and appreciate your business.
