Bespoke Post Review & Coupon – May 2015 “Shine”

This was my first box from Bespoke Post, and I am hooked. I’ve been searching for months the right tortoise shell sunglasses, and boom! I got the Cash frames. They are perfect and a great deal.

I’ve been following the ouiplease box drama, and I think bespoke is the perfect contrast to bring to the (prolific) discussion. To me, they have amazing boxes that people want to keep. You hardly see anything on the swap site (though that could be because fewer swappers subscribe to bespoke). At times they have considerable variance between their boxes, but you can pick what you want, or skip, and their products are high quality, made in America. A lot of their items are specially made for them, so you’re getting the curator’s quality control as well. Because you are picking you don’t get the surprise, but if you want surprise you can just ignore their emails. Their boxes arrive on time, and I’ve never heard customer service complaints. Ever. There is also the possibility (I didn’t check) of there being a phone number, and I really don’t like ouiplease not having a phone number. And finally, they cost less. Where they fall behind ouiplease is in the product curation just not being the same thing, and the box retail value. So if what you want is what ouiplease sells, you’re stuck with ouiplease or buying direct from companies. There just aren’t other French import subs like them- which is why we all moaned and groaned over the month delay and countless lies, but many were still happy with their boxes. We want what they sell (or at least what they say they sell, they kind of hiccuped on that this month). As for the box value, unless the retail value versus wholesale is so significant to accommodate a 4x sale price box value and still include profit, that model is not sustainable. And really, part of what is good about sub boxes is discovering new things I’ll get again. If they are so outrageously expensive I can only afford them in a sub box, I miss out on that. I’m locked into ouiplease right now (I bought a year sub) and don’t have room in my budget right now for another box, but when I do I’m going to take a serious look at bespoke. I’d love to swap for almost everything they include!

OH I believe I will get this option next month!

Liz, how do the glasses fit? Are they a little big or do they fit well? I’m thinking about getting one as well, just curious if the glasses will fit most ladies too.
