I have been watching and researching home shopping services like Stitch Fix and Le Tote (and asking my friends like Mallory to constantly show me what clothes she is getting from these services) to see if it would be a good fit for me. I always felt a bit uncomfortable with the monthly fee so when I saw a friend post about Trunk Club, I was in love from first click. NO monthly fee, 10 items shipped (combo of bags, tops/bottoms, accessories) and the only thing you pay for is items that you keep! This company started primarily as a mens service (I love their mens options as well but I haven’t gotten Scott hooked yet) so they are jumping into the womens’ world of clothes – I imagine they will just continue to grow and grow).First of all, a wonderful stylist basically stalked me for a week on the phone trying to nail down what I specifically wanted in my first trunk. She was so efficient and friendly as I explained my weird sizing needs and that for my first trunk, I was looking for some work casual staples in neutral colors. She nailed it! Here were a few items from my first “trunk”:
I only ended up keeping one amazing Free People grey tunic but I was tempted by the purse and the mint statement necklace. I had requested to not get any items over $100 which was really nice to specify a price point, so I wouldn’t be tempted by items that I knew were out of my budget.
Another amazing part of this process was that as soon as you give feedback on the app about which items worked for you and which didn’t (and they ask you why for future trunk picks), I could schedule a UPS pick up for the trunk (with return label already provided for no added cost) at that very moment. So easy!!!
If you’ve been hesitant about jumping into the home shopping/subscription game, I see no reason not to start right here with Trunk Club! I love that there are no fees unless you buy the clothes, a great referral system to get money towards future purchases, and you can request trunks with any variety of items in it (need a cute dress for an upcoming event? request an entire trunk filled with options!).
Happy shopping friends!
