"Of the many eclectic boutiques that live in this city, Tarnish might take the cake as one of the raddest. But, one would expect nothing less out of a boutique designed with biker babes in mind. You are greeted by bright geometric prints, vintage chunky belt buckles, and a wall of motorcycle helmets; warm soul and hard grit in perfect tandem. You leave Tarnish every time feeling like you just got a bit cooler, smelling faintly of stiff authentic leather. Well, at least we do; you go see for yourself." - Potluck Creative

Got these Merla Moto gloves to match my V2. A nice selection of apparel and gear for any rider. Shout out to Craig, cool dude with a great customer service. Friendly staff overall, keep it up!

I can’t say enough good things about Tarnish. I shop here all the time and always find incredible one-of-a-kind jewelry, clothing, and accessories. This is honestly the only place in the Midwest I know of where you can find quality women’s motorcycle gear. They offer riding gear exclusively for female riders—think jackets, gloves, helmets, boots, and more. I especially love the vintage jewelry, particularly the turquoise pieces, which are becoming rarer and rarer. Plus, they showcase fantastic local and custom artisans like Bird Trouble, Ahki Design, and Acid Queen Jewelry, whose unique designs make my collection stand out. Whenever I wear something from Tarnish, I always get compliments. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help, making the shopping experience even better. If they don’t have what you’re looking for in the store, they’ll gladly assist with special orders. If you’re in the area, Tarnish is a must-visit. You’ll walk out with something truly unique every time.

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. Reply: I tried it on and sat with it on for about an hour doing nothing that could have damaged it. The fabric could’ve been torn before I even purchased. If the fabric is so easily torn maybe it is the product. It was in the bag for a few days since I had tried it on so maybe it had a wrinkle! Was not about the money or being told no, but being met with such a rude attitude was shocking. (Also just saying maybe you should tell people about the return policy because I don’t think every customer will stop to read signs on the desk ;)
