Whether you're browsing or searching for something specific, they go above and beyond to make sure you have a fantastic experience. Their kindness and helpfulness are truly appreciated.Trend + Relic isn't just a store; it's an experience.

“Dave is professional and knowledgeable helped me pick out a complete suit looks great at affordable price. Stop in to see him you won’t be sorry. Excellent array of clothing”
“Alot of my wardrobe is from Always in style. Their prices are very reasonable & I feel like I find better & unique items there than in retail stores! I've been shopping here for at least 3 years & I rarely leave without finding something. ??”
“I love old stuff so we walked in. There wasn’t a load of what I crave (dirty cast iron) but there was enough to get me interested. I was impressed by the variety and the overall commitment to stocking quality items that have a story. Introduced myself to Dori and enjoyed chatting about the wares. I ended up leaving with another restoration project.”
“I have consigned with Double Take consignment two times. The store and staff are very professional and friendly as well. I had an item missing from my pickup and was so happy and surprised to I receive a phone call letting me know my item had been found!!! I had seven days to pick it up. I’ve consigned with another consignor and absolutely would never go back there again. This place is top notch!!!”
“I'm not sure what Trend + Relic is trying to be. It reminds me of the "home goods" department of Von Maur - beautifully curated, a bit pricey and as soon as something sells, there's another one in stock in the back that they'll put out...
The overall aesthetic is beautiful! It's aspirational as well as attainable. They do have actual antiques sprinkled throughout, but it's mostly gift-ables.
There were 3 women at the checkout that were all very nice. I found a small antique end table and asked if there was any better they could do on the price. All 3 of the women were very involved in a computer issue- talking and asking questions about what happened. Woman #1 explained to me that she texted the woman whose booth the table was from to see if there was any further discount. While she was explaining to me, Woman #2 asked "wait why are you texting XYZ, what do you need?" So woman #1 explained to woman #2 that I was asking for a discount. Then woman#3 walked up and asked if she could help (woman #1 was helping me and woman #2 was still fixing the computer). Woman #1 explained to woman #3 that I was asking for a discount. It was uncomfortable to be standing right there and all 3 woman had to be up-to-speed on every little thing happening at the counter (which was just me standing there asking for a discount). There was no line, no busy-ness. It seemed like the women working had nothing to do... and they were craving the busy-ness of "how can I help?" And "what can I do?" It made it awkward for me, the customer.
I first found this place because a few of their larger furniture pieces are on Facebook Marketplace.”
“I have been searching and researching for the right chair for my work-from-home experience. went to many office furniture places in the City and wasn't completely satisfied with the service, selection, and prices. so I decided to look into the suburbs for help and found Chairtech in Carpentersville. I contacted Marty, who was extremely friendly and informative over the phone. I went the next day to the showroom and was completely blown away by the selection and the knowledge and experience these guys had. They literally rebuild all the chairs at sight. Marty had me try out many chairs as he suggested that till I sit in different chairs, it's hard to know which chair is the right fit for me. I was actually there to buy a more expensive chair but he suggested that some of the lesser-known chairs that were not in my research list might be a better fit. He was right. I left their showroom extremely happy and saved a lot of money compared to what other places had for sale. I was there for at least two hours and not once did they make me feel, that I am taking too much time for purchasing just one chair. I highly recommend Marty and Chairtech for all your office and chair needs. These guys are legit and truly care about putting you in the right chair and not just the most expensive one. I will be back and will tell all my coworkers.”
“I at least come one time a year and I always find beautiful treasures. The staff are very friendly and the place is clean and have a variety of stuff, I usually buy jewelry.”
“Every time I go in I find the best treasures! I've been looking for a percolator coffee pot and low and behold they had one and it was perfect! If you haven't been, you need to go.”

1355 Paramount Pkwy, Batavia“Debbie and her team were great. Definitely start with their website, as it'll give you lots of information about what they buy and how their system works. She was responsive and helpful throughout the process. I was able to sell most of my grandmother's Lladros, Swarvorski crystals, and Waterford vases. A few pieces couldn't be purchased by Sell4Value because they had minor damage, but that is understandable. They have to be able to sell them to a future client.”
“Great shop which includes a very large selection of gorgeous jewelry! You’ll also find a perfect blend of beautiful vintage and unique new items. Stop in and You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find. I sure was!”
“I have been going to Jane Pabon boutique for over six years, it is an amazing consignment store that has become one of my main shopping destinations. The staff is very professional and friendly, and they know quite a lot about good fashion. The clothing and accessories selection in the store is outstanding. Definitely one of the best consignment stores I have ever been to and I highly recommend it!”
“I am absolutely delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with this establishment. We've had the privilege of doing business with them for over 5 years, and throughout this time, they have consistently delivered exceptional service.One of the standout aspects of this place is the owner, who is not only supremely nice but also highly professional.

This level of service and attention to detail is something we greatly appreciate and value.In summary, we are genuinely thrilled with our association with this establishment. It's a testament to their exceptional service, and we highly recommend them to anyone seeking a top-tier experience.”
“Jackie the manager is the best. Also this store has great selection. Great clothes great furniture and great employees, Jackie really helped us out and treated us very nicely. Definitely recommend going there!”
“I LOVE this store!! I’ve been going here weekly for almost a year, and it never disappoints. They always have something cute & reasonably priced. Not to mention the staff & owner are so kind. Always a pleasure shopping here.”
“Lovely store! I'm a Senior Citizen and my limitations to purchase something I need are endless.The discount for Seniors was limited to a certain day of the week....that was a turn off. I wanted a particular piece of furniture and wasn't able to purchase it because I wasn't there on the particular discount day. The item was sold following week of my return. So should Icontinue shop here?”
