We love our community and believe in the power of bringing people together. By opening our lounge space for free public events such as Open Mic Storytelling Night and Folk Music Jam Session, we hope to create a hub where creativity, connection, and collaboration can thrive.

Also available for private group rental, our 2.5-story shop can accommodate both small, intimate gatherings and large, lively events.

Our Retail Revelations

Truths we hold dear about style, sustainability, and the joy of discovery.

Convenient Consignment

Consignment shouldn’t require a pilgrimage to the city's outskirts. Our flagship parlor is rooted just steps from downtown, nestled near Printers Row and easily accessible from CTA ‘L’ lines, Metra routes, and nearby hotels. Whether you’re a local on a lunch break or a traveler exploring the city, discovering thoughtfully curated resale is no longer an all-day affair. The hunt begins (and ends) right here.

Sip & Shop Lounge

Born Again is more than a shop. It’s a place to linger. Our flagship doubles as a cozy BYOB lounge and gathering space, inviting you to sip, settle in, and explore at your own pace. Bring a friend, unwind solo, or work with a stylist while you browse. From dressing rooms to lounge seating, we’ve created room to truly try before you buy. Whether that means slipping into a jacket or living with a piece of furniture for a moment before taking it home.

Exclusive, Yet Inclusive 

Great style isn’t defined by price; it’s defined by intention. From a $500 designer find to a $5 everyday favorite, our collection spans price points, sizes, and aesthetics. Every piece is hand-selected to reflect individuality, authenticity, and responsible consumption. Like our community, the brands and items we carry celebrate self-expression over excess, and meaning over mass production.

Our mission to transcend the religion of resale

Not only do we love to curate the finest new and gently used modern, novelty, and vintage fashion with you in mind, but we also revel in creating a BYOB lounge experience that transforms the very essence of secondhand retail shopping.

Our real-time revelations offer affordable prices within a luxurious experience, featuring new and pre-loved furniture, decor, clothing, and accessories meticulously arranged to help you capture your individual style.
