Beautiful dress
December 26, 2023

My granddaughter absolutely loved the dress. She's 5 and told me Grandma it's so beautiful, I'm going to cry. Wore it for her Christmas program at school!

Never again
December 26, 2023

On 12/14 I purchase a linen suit & shirt for my husband dor $164.93. One sleeve was longer than the other. After emailing light in a box I was told I would be responsible for the return ( postal service fee$63.00 to ship to china) & once the item is received I will be refunded $121.98 although I paid $164. Please be careful with these site it's not what it appears to be.

Quando comecei a comprar, a experiência foi muito negativa, as entregas eram extremamente demoradas, muitas eram devolvidas e alguns dos produtos não eram os solicitados, era um péssimo serviço, a todos os níveis, hoje é diferente, tudo corre normalmente.
Obrigada.

Good fit, good value, many compliments!
December 26, 2023

I have ordered several shirts from this site and they have all been good quality for the price. I was a bit disappointed with the sleeve "patches" on this particular shirt, as they don't cover the elbow area as shown, that's why it's not rated as a 5 star. Regardless, I have received several compliments on the appearance of this particular shirt, so much so that I will be ordering another one that's similar and also one for my father for his birthday. I was also skeptical on ordering a medium, as I always wear a large, but I took the advice of the countless online reviews stating that they run true to size(based off of the sizing chart) and they were right, it's a good fit, thank you.

Prodotto conforme alle foto sul sito, molto originale, consegnato nei tempi previsti dall'ordine (unica nota un po' così, il peso del tessuto è di mezza stagione, non propriamente invernale, o almeno non da inverno in Trentino)

Not Bad
December 26, 2023

I really like the Stuff they have, but it seems like shipping takes a long time compared to other sites such as Temu. The prices are relatively the same. Maybe a little higher on some a little lower on some. But the shipping is why I do not buy more. It takes too long and is higher price than a lot of other sites

Real opinion
December 26, 2023

Until this year i was never one to shop online, always sceptical of being scammed or so,
Then i decided to have a go and i was pleasantly surprised by light in the box merchandise.
The quality of the clothing i have purchased was well above my expectations, and i highly recommend
Light in the box to all my friends. Thank you

Disappointing...
December 26, 2023

In the pictures, the T-shirts look good!
The delivery was absolutely 'on the button!'
So far, so good...
I wore the 'Innocent until proven guilty' T-shirt for TWO hours, including one hour's driving: the 'pilling' down the back was dreadful!
I am not sure how to remove it but as it is, the T-shirt looks unfit for wear.
What should I do next? Any ideas out there?
Cheers!

Not made as stated in the description
December 26, 2023

I bought a pair of boots and they are tight in the ankle and when I do get my feet through they are too big in the foot part of the boot. They are very cheaply made the material inside the upper part is a black velvet so you can't even fold them down if you want to. The darker pieces on the back dig into my ankle and the description says they are platform but they are not platform they are flat and I need the platform that is the reason I bought them plus I love the style and how they look in the pictures. They were cheaply made and definitely not what I paid for

Great shipping and communication
December 26, 2023

Good lether jacket lightweight and warm,only issue is that the 3X size runs a little smaller than other brands I have tried.
They should offer tall sizes also.

Well made product
December 26, 2023

Beautiful satin fabric and well made beautiful skirt. Talented seamstress. Shipping is slow so it took 2 weeks but it was high season for shipping due to Christmas. Recommend choosing expedited shipping.
