I only received one dress and it was a size too big. The other two items were a plastic fake Calvin klein bag & a silk scarf. I was expecting three clothing items, it’s not clear that this won’t be the case. Really disappointed.

Hey, I want to say a big thank you. Honestly,

Hey, I want to say a big thank you. Honestly, I was really worried before placing the order because I was scared it might be a scam. I’ve had bad experiences many times before, and since I’m ordering from New Zealand to the UK, I was a little nervous.

But I received such amazing service from you. I can’t explain how happy I am. The jacket arrived very quickly, and the condition was perfect — it looks brand new and completely original.

Thank you so much for the great service and trust. I’ll definitely be shopping again soon. Thanks again! 🙏

I didn’t bother reading reviews ahead of ordering from the website, just went ahead and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items and how quickly they arrived. Sizing was bang on as described and have recommended to friends and family. Will be buying from them again for sure 🎯

I ordered a 5-piece mystery box and it wasn’t exactly what I expected. Within that box I received alo sweatpants, which I can get from the alo store in person.

Lowkey all the clothes I received were not my style except one jacket.

Did I get clothes that were equivalent to what I paid for? Yes. Was the experience worth $200 USD? No.

I would just buy pieces individually off their website instead since they do have cute pieces on there. But I would avoid the mystery boxes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that the mystery box wasn't quite what you were hoping for. The nature of a mystery box is that every selection is a surprise, and while we aim to curate a varied mix of quality vintage pieces based on the size selected, we understand that personal style is highly individual and not every item will suit everyone's taste.

Feedback like yours helps us better understand our customers' expectations and how we can communicate the mystery box concept more clearly.

Bought a few things and was so excited as I love buying sustainably. Half of what I got was fabulous and I was thrilled. The other half was damaged beyond repair even though they hadn’t put photos of/listed the damage. So so disappointed. Tried hard to rescue the items coz they were cute but mostly failed as they were honestly shredded

Better Than Expected!

I ordered on a Thursday and received the package on Monday! So fast arrival. The clothes came well packaged, and accurate to the descriptions/photos on the website. When I opened the parcel I was expecting that vintage/charity shop smell, but honestly they all smell as if they've been through the wash! I'm gonna wash em just in case, but still. I was a little dubious originally cause the prices are so good and I know some reviews aren't good, but yeah, much better than expected! Very happy with the order. Give em a try. :)

Not happy

Not happy. I paid £3.65 postage to return my item only to then not receive my refund. Terrible company, will never use again.

Disappointing

Have ordered a few items from them, and shipping usually quick and well communicated. Half the items ordered were not the size I thought they would be, eg. 36 inch waist jeans measured at 35; But no great issues. However, bought a garment advertised as " shorts", which arrived as very badly cut off jeans. Asked for a free shipping return label on the basis that these were not really advertised as what they were ( and were quite expensive for what was essentially a pair of mutilated jeans). The customer service department refused, stating that a line in the description absolved them from responsibility. So, returned for a refund, not made super easy on their website (and their return address isn't one registered on the Royal Mail database). That will be the last order I make from them. Chalked up to experience with another corporate entity that puts profit over customer service and satisfaction.

We're sorry to hear that this experience has left you disappointed, particularly as you've ordered from us several times previously.
We do our best to provide accurate measurements for every individual item, as vintage and second-hand clothing can vary considerably from the labelled size. A 36" labelled waist measuring 35" can therefore happen due to the way a garment has been manufactured, washed, worn or measured. We appreciate, however, that even a small difference can affect the fit.
Regarding the shorts, we understand your frustration if the item wasn't what you expected from the description. All of our pieces are individually photographed, measured and described before being listed, and we include condition and product details to help customers make an informed decision when purchasing unique second-hand items. We appreciate that this particular item didn't meet your expectations.
Our returns policy does require customers to cover the cost of returning an item where it isn't considered faulty or incorrectly described. We appreciate that this wasn't the resolution you were hoping for, but we did process the return and refund once the item was received back.
We're sorry that this experience has changed your view of us, especially given that you've previously had positive experiences with our shipping and communication. We do value repeat customers and take feedback like this seriously, particularly around how clearly we describe unusual or altered vintage pieces.

I ordered the 3 piece mystery box

I ordered the 3 piece mystery box. I listed my size, my preference in fabrics, style I liked. I received a pair of gorgeous jeans 3 sizes too small , a top made of polyester which was a fabric I listed as a dislike, and another top that looks like a child’s . I get it’s a mystery box but why ask for as much detail so they can supposedly pick items you can actually wear…..

Did deliver what I ordered, but feels a bit fishy…

Webpage is filled with lies like ”22 people have this in their cart”, ”usually sells within 48 hours”, and ”155 people viewing”. Pretty sure it’s illegal to mislead customers with lies like that…?
Also noticed that they slowly lower the prices the longer an article is up.

Colors were a bit different from the photos, but I did get what I ordered. The tax / customs were expensive to Sweden, and the shipping took about 2 weeks.

Pretty sure they don’t wash / clean the clothes, since I found used tissues and a packet of unused tissues in the pocket. These did not look like they had been through a washer.
I have emailed them about this and I’m awaiting a response. Will update review if they answer.

Previously customer service has responded, but they feel copy-pasted.

Probably not going to buy anything else from here, because of the trash in the pockets, the false statements on their site, and the expensive customs fee, but they did at least send me what I ordered, and has quickly responded to my emails.

UPDATE:
I got a quick response from the customer service. They did not answer my question about if they wash their clothes or not, but they did refund me 30%.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and we're glad our customer service was able to respond quickly and offer a 30% refund to help resolve the issues you raised.

All of our clothing goes through a processing and quality-control process before being listed, which includes cleaning, sterilising, steaming and checking each individual item. Finding tissues in a pocket clearly means something was missed during that process, and we're sorry about this. It's not the standard we expect from our quality checks, and we've raised the issue with our warehouse team.
The activity indicators you mention on the website are generated by our e-commerce platform to show live activity around products. Similarly, our pricing can change over time as part of our normal pricing strategy, particularly with one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. We appreciate that this may look unusual if you're not familiar with how our website operates.
Regarding customs and import charges, these are determined by Swedish customs and are outside of our control. We appreciate that these costs can make an international order considerably more expensive, and we try to provide information about potential import charges for international customers.
We're sorry that your overall experience has left you feeling that you wouldn't shop with us again. We're pleased that you did receive the item you ordered and that our customer service was able to respond promptly, and we appreciate you acknowledging both of those points in your review. Your feedback around the cleaning process and website communication has been shared with the relevant teams.

Incorrect measurements

Quite poor. The website states that each item is measured by hand to verify the measurements, but evidently this is not the case as the trousers I bought were 3 inches shorter than advertised.

Seen an instagram advert

Seen an instagram advert, and was really impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the Levis. I’m convinced they’d never been worn. Bargain.
