Golden Tote is making some changes! They are introducing a quarterly Puella Gold Edition Tote that will feature 4 Puella clothing items available in sizes XS-XL. Pre-Orders start mid-April for a June delivery. The cost is $175.
And some updates for the regular totes:
What do you think of the Golden Tote updates? (Check out our Golden Tote reviews to get a better idea of how this monthly clothing tote works!)
I’m quite disappointed with Golden Tote. I used to be an avid fan but after purchasing a surprise tote, I received 3 items that were the exact opposite of my style profile. I returned all of it but had to shell out over $10 to ship it all back because they were unable to send me a return sticker and deduct that shipping cost from my return. Now that they are lowering the amount of items in a tote, I just don’t see the point of chancing it with them anymore. I used to trust in their styling judgement but after the disaster I received, I’ll just go to the mall.
Am I the only one noticing that they are offering fewer items for the same prices, so essentially raising their prices? It did not sit with me well that they rolled it out as though it was a “big surprise”. I think Puella is great, but offering a new, more expensive tote doesn’t exactly excite me.
Yeah, agreed. Plus the small tote is going up in price. If you buy the small tote it’s going to be $32.50 an item. Considering I’ve gotten a lightweight tank top as a surprise almost every time I’ve gotten a small tote I don’t think that’s worth it. Plus, I noticed most people have trouble selling items for that price on the trading group. Would probably only buy if the two chosens are a high value.
So happy with the new streamlined returns! Will this only apply to items you receive after this launches? Or can you return something from a past tote from this year? I have a fringe cardigan that isn’t my style but I can’t find it anywhere online.
Love the idea of the new Puella tote! Golden Tote has always been a no-go for me because of all of the cheap polyester Modcloth-esque surprise items. But a full tote of made in the USA Puella items sounds perfect. I just wonder if all 4 items will be a surprise each time?
You get less items now in the $149 tote, but I think for the most part I am good with it, since I have too many GT clothes. However, with the new more expensive Puella tote, does that mean we won’t see Puella in the $149 tote as a surprise or chosen?
Anne,
They confirmed in the GT trading group on Facebook that there will still be Puella items in the normal totes. =] just exclusive ones in the puella-only totes.
Love Puella! And made in the USA is awesome too. I heart this.
Sounds great! Can’t wait to get the Special Puella Tote!!!!! And a more streamlined way to return the items you do not like!! AWESOME!
