Tarnish

Tarnish A female-focused biker store located in Chicago. Tarnish is a celebration of motorcycle gear, apparel and accessories inspired by life on two wheels.

A female-focused biker store
located in Chicago. Being on the road brings freedom from care, but it takes the right gear and the right people to make it real. Tarnish is half-store, half-community of like-minded riders. It's all about love, dedication and having a good time. Like our t-shirt says, "Some Dirt Just Don't Wash Off". The dust and grit of the road doesn't rub off, it sinks into your soul.

Yesterday’s Lucky 13 party was EPIC! - IYKYK
I never get any pics at these events so I’m dang thankful that thought to do it! Thanks Ali!

Special thanks to:
⭐️ and for running the store and bar - for the beverages
⭐️ for manning the grill, for the brats for the pies and for the coffee bar!
⭐️ for the epic 13 year design, for patching up all your jackets and hats, and for bringing the ink!
⭐️ for DJing and for the Chicago alley style h***y tonk - potholes and all
⭐️ for leading the .bleeders IFRD ride
⭐️ and our dealer extraordinaire .dabeast for running a tight ship at the blackjack table 😂 .. and for security ;)

Our 13-year tee says it best; Tarnish was built on blood, sweat, and tears… but mostly on this wild community of lovable misfits and weirdos.

Thank you for the hugs, the flowers, the kind words, and for showing up in all the ways you do. You’ve kept this dream alive for 13 years and counting.

Hope you had as much fun as we did.
For now… ‘til next year.

❤️ - Nic
