Our family of six lives very frugal. Our priorities are on lots of other things, not clothes. But alas, it's just not okay to roam around naked.
I recently found this awesome company who **disclosure** agreed to give me 50% off my purchase in exchange for an honest review of their service. Don't think I didn't snatch that up and buy all four of my kids a Deux Life box.
How it works
1. Pick
your style - Are you looking for a trendy look to wear to school? Or an
athletic style for play time?
2. Pick your size
3. Dress for the season - Do you need long sleeves and pants or are
you easy breezy in shorts sleeves and shorts. Need a mix? The can do that, too.
4. Add any notes - Hate jeans? Prefer pink? Let them know.
5. They'll pack and ship a box specially made just for
your child.
Where do they get the clothes?
The clothing is sourced from
schools, churches, and other fundraisers. DL pays them to collect the clothes
and then they quality-inspect. Currently DL is not able to offer a buy back
program (or selling options for customers) because of the cost of shipping, but
it's on their road map!
These schools, churches, and fundraisers are near LA CA, where DL is based.
Honest REVIEW
disclaimer: I requested a aid in purchasing our first set of Deux Life boxes in exchange for sharing an honest review with my friends, family, and blog readers. DL was so awesome to give me 50% off our order as Well as a coupon for YOU (see social media post or the end of this post).
facebook.com/asJulesisgoing will have a video with 3/4 of my kids opening their boxes.
I would recommend ordering Deux Life boxes for your family.
Think it’s totally worth trying it for several reasons:
1. I am passionate about slow fashion, buying used, and fair trade.
2. Saves you time and the crazy of going into a store.
3. Takes the pressure off finding the perfect pieces and lets us learn to be grateful with what we have/what we are given.
4. There was a great mixture of brands, from circo and athletic works to gap kids and puma.
Downers:
1. The obsessive part of me didn’t like not choosing each item but they guarantee quality (not necessarily preference) so it was just love of each item that's left up for grabs BUT you can be very detailed in your request; I was not super detailed.
2. In person, you can hold the items up to your child to compare the brand sizing.
FAQ
What “style” of box did the girls get?
We ordered Maggie the Hannah,
Izzie the Miron,
Jamin the Danny,
and Ellie the Hannah.
Thankfully, my big girls wear the same size so they can trade/share and were
already bargaining.
What's the return policy?
They guarantee quality but not preference. They detail check all items but if they happen to miss something, just email them and they'll figure out how to make it right, no return shipping required.
How much are the boxes (with shipping) and what do you get?
They are $49/Box with 10 items in the size, season, and preferences you request. Shipping was free for our boxes, and I'm assuming
