I finally got my box today, about three weeks after my first “shipment” email. I received all my choices.
The box was actually very well packed (it had a “fragile” sticker on the outside), and nothing was missing or broken, expect for the macarons, which had an extra protective layer of bubble wrap but still got a bit broken in the shipment.
Comments: Les Nereides necklace, pretty, very delicate, I love it. I thought the pendant would be just a tad bigger from the photos, but it looks really adorable. However, I suspect that the clasp may break soon (it took a minute or two to actually get it open because it was stuck). It fits more like a choker on me, and my neck is fairly thin, but you can make it longer by clasping it close to the little Nereides tag. It would be very appropriate for a younger girl.
Scarf: what a joke! I got the flechettes print. I knew it would be small from the comments here, but it really looks like a handkerchief. Despite all the warnings I am still disappointed as this was the item that made me subscribe to the box in the first place. I wish they had included the measurements and the actual fabric content in the spoiler. This is essentially fraud. I thought the Soi Paris paper envelope in which it came was cute, though, and perfectly giftable if you wanted to give a handkerchief as a gift…
Bag: I got the black and white variation. I already own a blue and white mini Filt bag (you can buy them from Anthropologie) and the one that came in the OP box is smaller than the one I own! A mini mini? I thought it would be even smaller from the comments here, so I’m relieved it’s not minuscule. By the way, you can now buy them on the OP website and the size is advertised as 15 by 15. I may get in touch about that, especially because some people got a larger bag than this and I don’t think that’s fair for subscribers.
Tile: nice. I got the mint. Everything was in good condition and I look forward to using it.
Nail polish: mine actually came with its paper container, just as in the spoiler. I got the marilou, a lovely red color.
Eye cream: was it supposed to be sealed? Mine wasn’t. It appears new though.
Brush: a nice addition to my kitchen, it will definitely be used.
I bought an annual membership with a 30% coupon based on the spoilers for this box. The actual box cost me $76, and the combined value of the objects — even considering that the necklace’s advertised price of $130 is too high compared to prices for Les Nereides jewelry on their website, the scarf probably costs less than $10 and the bag is probably around $15 or less — does more or less exceed that amount. I am not too angry, but I would have never purchased a membership had I known that the spoilers misrepresented some of the items.
