Sugarcup Trading

Nice merchandise… but the owner is cranky and unpleasant. I had to interrupt her conversation with her employee to just ask a simple question. Not a good experience.

This store is every Tween’s fantasy!
Mom and I wandered in in search of present’s for my niece’s 3^rd birthday party that was the very next weekend The clothing selection was outstanding. They had tons of fantastic clothes for toddlers at a variety of price points.
I found the real winner to be the trendy items for tweens. They had an entire section for tweens and such fantastic shoes. I found myself asking the sales rep how big a few pairs of shoes came to see if those strappy bright purple sandals they were selling came in an adult size 7.5!
I did learn through my shopping experience that they offer a trade-​in experience for certain brands of gently used clothing and toys. You receive points in return for your items that can be used to purchase new items.
Customer service was a good experience as they were incredibly helpful from the moment we walked in and were willing to work with us as we changed our minds repeatedly while seeing one cute accessory after another then building outfits around a single pair of leggings or a pair of shoes only to find out they didn’t have my niece’s size, scrap the entire thing, find a new accessory, and begin again.

Adorable spot in downtown Oak Park with great, welcoming staff. I have two little girls, so my husband and I come here for cute Tea dresses (my favorite) and plenty of other adorable items. Great for gifts too, as there are the most precious and unique items throughout the store.

Adorrrrrrable things and the 2^nd time there I ventured into the basement to find gently used items for great prices. The woman working has been very kind each time, asked what my fav shower gifts were, brands I found fit/​washed great etc. She obv cares about her biz. Once my little one hits and grows out of 12 mo clothing, we’ll be reselling it there. Cool place. Good buyers. Love the concept.

I love this store. There are so many beautiful things to buy and the customer service is exemplary!

I am in love with Sugarcup Trading. I strolled in hoping to find a cute baby shower gift and maybe something for my sidekick. I did buy some cute items and found a truly wonderful and inspiring shop.
I was greeted immediately by a woman that I assume is the owner. Owner or not, she was very enthusiastic about the items in the store and gave me a bit of direction on items including the sales rack. (nice)
I was left alone to browse (grateful for that because that’s how I like to shop) and found some beautiful, colorful and well-​made babies’ and children’s items. Upon talking to the owner (or not owner) some more, I found that not only can you buy the items outright, but they have a trading system for their clothes and toys.
I’m still a little over-​whelmed by the options, but basically, you can trade in their clothes and toys back to the store and accrue points for new items. They also take in other brand name clothing (check their website or FB page for the huge list) and they have special resale days for those as well. They have days where you can bring in clothing/​toys for donation to children’s charities. See, many options. My sidekick is almost 2, and I really wish I knew about STC sooner. Now the items are at boutique prices, but considering how you can trade or shop the sales rack, this shop is still worth a look.
Environmentally friendly items, providing community service, friendly service, super-​cute unique clothing and accessories. Plus it’s located on Marion St in OP – great for shopping and good eats! 5 stars easily.

A++ customer service. The staff really listens to and connects with the kids that come in, which counts for at least half of the success of this business. The economic portion of this venture needs a little work, though. The secondhand items have great prices but are very limited. Most of the things on display are new and can be quite pricey. My kids were disappointed with the relatively low value their trades earned them compared to the high price of the new items they wanted to buy. A bigger selection of used toys or more reasonably priced new items would make this place a much bigger hit for our family. I do love the empowerment this place gives kids, the staff could not be any more lovely, and it’s a beautiful space. I hope it changes enough for our family to make this a usual stomping ground.

Stopped in because the stuff in the window was cute, stayed because it’s a great idea! Purchase things outright, or consign/​trade-​in new but unused items for points that you can use to purchase their items. Nice variety of eco-​friendly clothing, toys, art supplies, books and more for babies and small kids. And have no fear, everything is durable, colorful and trendy.
Prices are quite reasonable for the quality of items you will find here. I even found some cute stocking stuffer type items for the oder «kids» in my life like my husband :) Glad it came to Oak park, hope it lasts!

Love this place! So glad it opened in Oak Park. It is roomy, cool, great concept — totally fun place to shop! They carry really great products/​lines. Worth a trip from the city! Shop here for you kids and go almost next door to Scratch and Sniff for your pets! Totally makes Oak Park shopping better!

I am impressed.
This is a very cool, trendy and fresh green, eco-​friendly kids clothing and toy store.
You can purchase the clothes outright or there is a consignment/​bartering concept where you can trade your kids mint– condition clothes and/​or toys for points towards the store’s new fashion-​forward, eco-​friendly kids clothing and toys.
It rivals the good, trendy kids’ clothing stores in Bucktown and downtown, but a much better value by itself, and even a better value with the consignment/​bartering point system.
Do yourself a favor and check it out.
