On April 15th, POPSUGAR is launching a new limited edition box with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
The POPSUGAR and CFDA partnership is based on aligned priorities, namely philanthropy, fashion, and discovery. POPSUGAR supports the CFDA's global mission "to strengthen the influence and success of American Fashion Designers in the global economy." Fifty percent of the profits from sales of this Must Have box will be donated to the CFDA Foundation, Inc., which aims to raise funds for fashion-related charity and industry activities.

I totally want this box but after the Neiman Marcus box fiasco, there’s no way I’m shelling any money over to PS without a spoiler. That box was an eye-opener about how crappy some curations from PS can be.
Plus, I’m really enjoying that the Rachel Zoe box always releases the spoiler for the hero item, it doesn’t feel like such a huge risk!

I have Googled every variation of CFDA, PopSugar, Coachella (wow, that’s an interesting event…)
, goodie bags and cannot find anything for spoilers.
I woke up 3 times to check if it was on sale during the night. I think I have a sub box addiction,lol.

on popsugar instagram they had a picture of the Coachella gift bag. it had sisters of Los Angeles matches (most likely for their candles), Lo Swim hair ties, some nail poish (I would never wear), some face care items form first aid beauty and what looks like a towel from Michael Star. If this is a clue to what is in the CFDA special edition box, I am not impressed.

I think Popsugar teamed up with ShopStyle on this one. I’m betting that alot of the stuff will come from the ShopStyle top picks. I see a fab backpack that just might be coming our way. So, I’m glad I got the box. I don’t think the Coachella gift bag is a hint to what we are getting. I think it will come from ShopStyle since that is the company that PopSugar teamed up with at Coachella. We will see.

It’s another day where I may not catch a signal on my phone. I’ll have to check early morning to see if there is a spoiler released.

I feel the same way! I wanna pull the trigger and purchase but without a spoiler or more info I think I might have to pass. Hopefully they release some kind of spoiler tomorrow to entice us all to buy!

Are they really going to release this tomorrow without offering so much as a single spoiler, or even a list of the designers who will be represented? I put money aside to order it, but I just can’t shell out almost $200 bucks without ANY clue whatsoever. I think I’m going to have to pass…probably. GAH!

After seeing the Coachella goodie bag from the popsugar luncheon I am no longer as excited about the box especially with the idea of possibly getting an overpriced candle and neon colored bracelets.

Found this online from the LA times in an article about fashion at Coachella:
“The CFDA will also be celebrating the launch of the PopSugar Must Have limited-edition box of swag containing items such as cosmetics and jewelry, curated by CFDA members, with 50% of the profits going to the CFDA foundation.”
So what do you think? The box was also mentioned in Woman’s Wear Daily. This is the amount of publicity this box is getting. I’m excited!

Is anyone worried that this box will just be filled with expensive jewelry? I’ve noticed that passed special edition boxes were filled with an expensive jewelry item retailing for $100-300, this could really take up a large portion of that $600 value

My best friend JUST texted me that she just met the CEO of popsugar at a school event and my first question was did you ask about th CFDA box?!?!! Oh addiction……

I may subscribe if I like the spoiler. I won’t subscribe if there is no spoiler released. It’s too chancy for me although I am curious about the box.

Now I’d rather wait & see what’s in the box. Then I’ll swap for what I want. 🙂

I love popsugar monthly boxes, and some of the special boxes. I’d love to at least hear a designer name spoiler, and would prefer an idea of items before commiting that much money. I don’t have a dog and would hate to see pet accessories, etc. But it is so tempting because I just attended a CFDA hosted brunch and it was pretty fabulous and tasteful!!! The featured young designer was incredibly talented!

I think I’m going to go for this one. It’s definitely pricey, but if the collaboration is anything like the link above, I’m in! Personally, I’ve enjoyed the PSMH LE boxes, and I have liked the regular boxes. I better go confirm that release date so I can be sure and be awake to order early. I fear it will be a lot like the Zoe box and will sell out quickly.
I am officially a Sub Addict, I believe. LOL! Much Aloha!

Same here,lol. I started out with Ipsy in October, found this page, and I love the sub boxes. I probably subscribe to too many now.
Liz gave me the best recommendations to start out with. Everyone got Birchbox gifts for Christmas (easiest shopping I can ever remember) and I like being able to make up a gift bag at the last minute using items from different boxes and everyone loves them. My 11 year old daughter loves the dresses from Golden Tote. My son now loves the FiveFour sub. He was on daily medication for his acne from his Dr, I had gotten him a Jack Black gift set and his skin cleared up in 2 weeks, so no more medicine, we are both so glad about that.
I was so happy when Liz posted about the ties she got for her brother from Bespoke, my son will be graduating in May but already started his new job and needs to wear a tie every day.
I am so excited for this PS CFDA to go on sale.
I’ve already put a notification on my phone.
Do I need help yet,lol?

Hi meme! I’m a fellow Hawaii sub addict. I see you on here often and just wanted to say hi from Kailua! We always get our boxes late…but…the time difference worked in our favor for the Rachel Zoe box!

yay for Hawaii subbers that understand the pain of getting your box 3 weeks later than everyone else!! But yes it totally worked in our favor for the rachel zoe box!!

Ok I was thinking it would be great if they would release at least the number of items or the names of a few designers. I would have to give in to temptation if I thought there would be amazing home items. But if I spent 200 bones and it contained a scarf my head would explode. How many scarfs do people really need? Granted I live in Hawaii so it’s to hot for even one scarf but seriously if you have more than one fashion sub box how do you keep up or store all all those scarves??

if you get a scarf I will TOTALLY trade for it… I wear one almost every day. Living in northern California, it gets chilly even in summer, and its the perfect accessory to wear at night with my sundresses…

Haha I was thinking the same thing, either a scarf or clutch and I’d be upset. I live in the Midwest and only wear scarves in winter.

Sounds interesting but I will have to see two spoilers prior to commitment as I haven’t loved the past two PS boxes.
Reply

Very tempting, but like most everyone else here, I don’t want to risk spending almost $200 unless I see at least one great spoiler. Someone below said it my include housewares and dog bowls, which I’m not really interested in receiving. I would LOVE to see some nice fashion items, though!

I’m so glad I’m going to NOLA on the 16th, it will keep my from being tempted. I’ve sworn off PS but I imagine this would be great for future xmas and bday gifts.

I’m definitely interested in this box, but I agree that $200 is too much without at least some spoilers. And being a Large person, I need to have some assurances that sizing won’t be an issue.
Can’t wait to see some spoilers!!

I definitely concur. Well said.

I like the idea of this box but at the cost of almost $200 it is too much of a gamble. The should have spoilers at this price.

Oh man. I love the popsugar LE boxes but $200…………….unless I have at least SOME idea I’m not spending that kind of money

This reminds me of the CFDA collaboration with Target & Neiman Marcus couple years ago. If that’s the case, clothing items aside (I can’t see them putting size specific items), it will more likely to be home ware, accessories, throw, scarf, slippers, dog bowls, yoga mats, shot glass, with their designer names, and hopefully, their designs interpretations of those items.
I remember some really cute items back then, even got a MarcJacob scarf myself, but there’s also a lot of questionable designs too. So, depending on who they got as a designer(s), it maybe a hit or miss. I also agree that value will be highly inflated, but if you carry names like DVF, Adler, that’s pretty much expected.
