5th Avenue Style Subscription Box Review – February 2016

Hoping 5th AVE STYLE is checking out comments here. I had to return valentines box due to jewelry size issues. I have not yet got a customer service response to my emails-order #3000 [email protected]

I’ve just received this month box. So far it’s my favorite. The hand bag alone blew me away.

I received the same earrings in my last month box. They are absolutely gorgeous and I am getting a lot of compliments on them. The pic here doesn’t serve them any justice though. This is top quality famous brand and you should really see and touch these items to fully appreciate them.

I saved the coupon details for the February box for weeks because it was supposedly a $500 value box for newbies, and was promoted as being quite special. Thought I really wanted to become a member this month, and was sad to give it up, (for a down comforter I found on sale) until I read this review. There wasn’t one item I would have liked; just a huge disappointment.

I live in the SW, not NYC, and still have better fashion sense. Just because an item has a high price tag, or designer name, doesn’t mean it’s high fashion, or actually worth the price of admission. Honestly thought the scarf was a table cloth, until I read the review, and the jewelry reminds me of Avon circa 1970s, but heavier.

I do, however, appreciate the honest reviews and excellent pictures. Together, they help me avoid mistakes and have led me to subscriptions I really enjoy.

I love my 5th avenue subscription! I get cool bags, clutches, rings, earrings, etc…. always a surprise and personalized! Makes me smile every month…thanks for an awesome box every month 5th avenue!

5th Ave is one of my favorite subs. In my view they represent the
essence of New York. Style+Quality+Value= Love it!

Love it! My box was completely different from this one though. Mine had a purse (forget the brand, but it is real leather), a Vivienne Westwood scarf, a ring that I am definitely keeping , and earrings that I am going to gift to my MIL. Very good quality stuff.

Eeeek. I’m happy for y’all who like this stuff, but these boxes all seem so gaudy to me. Cheers to you if it works, but I’ll save my money for Rachel Zoe.

I’m not a fashion expert, but I left within traveling distance of NYC and I spend an unfortunate amount of time there, and this is the type of stuff that my aunt and I see on markdown at Bergdorf Goodman when we stop in there — marked down from $5000 to $700 or something. Value is whatever someone is willing to pay, whether they’re in NYC or not (though you pay a whole lot more in NYC lol).

I purchased 2 of these boxes because they seemed like they were packing in high value stuff, even if I thought the style was alittle off of mine, here’s to hoping. I have liked absolutely nothing I’ve gotten — it’s all been really flashy and …. well I agree with the reviewers who say this is not NY fashion.

I’ve been trying to sell my things on ebay. A Rivka Friedman bracelet is on the RF website for $445, but no one is selling anything above $60 for it. The Baker earrings likewise. The Mantera scarf I finally sold after two months for $20. Yes, this is ebay, but if something is in high demand, I often get good prices. But none of the stuff from 5th Avenue is getting any takers!

I am sorry, but I think this a terrible representation of New York style. I have lived in Manhattan for 20 years and just about to turn 40. All of my 20’s and 30’s spent here and many of those focused on having the greatest clothes, shoes etc. I do not know a single person who would ever wear any of this. These are items that one might find in some consignment store filled with women’s items of ladies in their 70’s and 80’s who are purging their closets. This is NOT meant to be cruel. These women have amazing items, but these are not synonymous with New York Style during any of the last few decades. I think this is a sneaky marketing ploy to make people think they are getting a little of New York now, but it is just not true. If this is marketed to women of my mothers age, well then great. That would be more accurate, but not because these are actually in style now. I’ve been watching these boxes to see if I would dive in. I have gotten the Luxor boxes which are FAB! Those are worth the money. Again, not saying the items are not nice and even quality, only that these are NOT current NY style and haven’t been in decades.

I would have been thrilled with that box. Love ALL the jewelry(ring is my favorite) and the scarf is beautiful. Wish I could afford it.

I love that scarf, the ring and the earrings. This box looks wonderful, still out of my price range right now, but fabulous.

Ermagersh, the only thing I like in the box are the leaf pendant and earrings. The other pieces are too bold for me, but that is definitely New York Style! A well curated box!
