I got the deluxe box twice. In the first one I got the necklace above (which I have up for swap, actually), a walter baker pair of earrings (RV $75), a “private label” ring, a pair of private label sunglasses, and a lodis purse (RV $178 if I recall correctly). In the second one, I got a bracelet with a tag for $388, a pair of Romeo & Juliet couture earrings (the ones shown), a Walter baker bracelet (RV $58), a clutch purse, and a private label ring. In general, the RV on these boxes is very good. I’ve had a few subsequent boxes be a little lower, but in general I’m very happy.

There is a lot of overlap on what people get, but it tends to be a good mix of name brand and “private label”. I get the subscription, too, which has been nice, but the deluxe box tends to have more higher end items.

FYI, their shipping tends to be SLOW, but their customer service is excellent.

I have subscribed to a regular Subscription Box at $98/month and so far have received 3 boxes.
All these boxes are very consistent in terms of merchandise quality, styling and value. The delivery time was good, although with 1 box there was some delay but they warned me on that and send me an extra item as a gift to compensate for that. I am a busy professional and also a mom of 2 kids so I don’t have much time to shop and it is invaluable for me that somebody does it in style and I receive it every month. So far it’s been good…
Also, just learned about Deluxe Subscription Box and might subscribe to this as well.

I’d wear that necklace with a v neck sweater, dark jeans and boots. Then probably run off to do something mundane like buy groceries : )
This box isn’t for me though. If I’m spending that much I need to pick the stuff out myself.

I’m going to have to pass on this box. My taste is very specific and not too common. I’d end up getting a lot of things I wouldn’t use. I hope we get to see what other people have received in their boxes.

love the handbag and the scarf! looks like a box to watch. too early for me to subscribe.

Nice box and nice review, Anna 🙂

I bought the same Aimee bag at Ross for about $40 a few months ago!

Gorgeous scarf!

This box looks amazing but I won’t order until I see some non review boxes. I fear this could be like oui please where people received such variations that many people were getting crappy boxes. I also fear that they sent la creme de LA creme for review boxes

The box reviewed here cost $50 more than the box Rebecca got, and the difference is that the extra cost gets you branded items. While it is really helpful to hear what was in the $99 box, without knowing if other subscribers to the $149 deluxe box got the same contents it is impossible to know if they are sending out a better box to be reviewed. I personally would not find this box to be a good match, since I don’t wear gold jewelry, but I do think anyone who put the purse or scarf on the swap site could get the world!

Looks like a great box! I was surprised though when you said “pink” and “rose quartz” stones on that (totally gorgeous) necklace because the pictures make it look purple/lavender (maybe it’s my screen?)

Also, I hope Rebecca describes her contents!! It’s a little discouraging that there could be a huge discrepancy between subscribers.

The brands and values of that box (not to mention the variety) are NOT representative. I ordered this box and my value was far less, with far less variety of items. This is a case where I am certain that the “for review” box is drastically different from the normal box.

Wow, this is a really impressive box! What a shame it’s way out of my budget. Love it though!
