Please note: Ivana's is now in Thiensville. I have had no experience selling anything through Ivana's, but have purchased three truly unique items there that I treasure. One is a hand-painted, wooden, folding "dressing screen," which I was told was hand-painted in California. Another is a cigar lamp, which I treasure because a vintage cigar lamp is a rare find (I'd never seen one, old or new, before I saw mine) and mine is beautiful as well as vintage. The third is a lamp, which I would guess was manufactured during the 1930... read more

Seller beware!!! I was ripped off thousands of dollars from this store, Ivana's Trunk. I dropped off my designer couch and a few rugs. The store put fair, but high prices on my items. I signed the contract for the three month period. When the three months were coming due, I called the store and asked if I should take my items out since the contract was coming due. I was told that the three months did not include such high end designer items and we could keep our items in the store until they sold. I told them that I thought ... read more

I had a very poor experience here. Generally, the place is quite dirty, disorganized and difficult to navigate due to mounds of poorly managed merchandise. Despite this, I continued to stop by as I was looking for a specific item. I purchased an item and returned to pick it up - upon moving it, I discovered a flaw I could not observe before without moving it. I was surprised when the owner refused to consider refunding my money - despite the fact I had never taken possession of the piece. However, her rude and condescending ... read more

Beware, Beware!! I am so upset at what happened to me at Ivana's Trunk. Please, please take pictures of the items you leave there (close-ups, too). I took my mother's very heavy, hardly-used long Persian Lamb coat that was hardly used and very heavy to them in December. When it supposedly did not sell I picked it up last week. I was in a hurry, did not really pay that much attention when she asked me to rip off the tag and give to her. She never checked with the records. After I removed it from my car after a few days I real... read more

My firm advice: SKIP IVANA. Unprofessional, unorganized experience. I had a gut instinct when they arrived to pick up the furniture. And you know you should always follow such intuition. My daughter moved after the abrupt loss of her spouse, and consigned a very expensive set of furniture with Vicki. The very young boys who picked up the furniture from my home had no moving blankets, I provided my own blankets to them (never returned) in hopes the quality items were not damaged on arrival, they were just put into a truck, no... read more

Not only a great selection and friendly staff, but I was surprised how big this place is! It took me over an hour to just look at everything. Ivana has an amazing selection, no matter what your niche is.

Absolutely my favorite consignment shop in the Milwaukee area. The owner is very honest and trustworthy and great to work with. I have been a consigner for the last year and a half and continue to be impressed.

My New Fav – I've been working with Ivana's Trunk for years as a consigner. It has been a very profitable and professional relationship. I can't give enough praise to Vicky for how hard she works for me. I bring in high-end/quality merchandise, and she generally sells it and pays me quickly. Highly recommend you visit Ivana's Trunk. Maybe you'll end up buying some of MY stuff ;)

This business does absoilutely nothing that they say they will do. Never received a promised contract (one year). Called me and said most items would not sell and they were donating. Offerred to send tax form for wrie-off. Never received. Have called twice an have not received.
