Recently I tried a new clothing subscription box called Parcel 22. Started out of Gainesville, Florida, Parcel 22 seeks to provide fashionable choices at a reasonable price delivered in a (very cute) box right to your door.
I’ve tried Rent the Runway for special events, but it was so expensive that it was a one-time thing solely for a special occasion. Parcel 22 is for everyday life, and the everyday college girl. From cute sundresses, to unique necklaces, Parcel seems to be fashionable in every category.
Each box includes three pieces of clothing (shirts, dresses, sets) and two pieces of jewelry (necklaces, earrings, bracelets). Initially when you join Parcel, you pick from a selection of photos of various outfits so that your “stylist” knows what kind of clothing you would like in your box. Once you’ve subscribed for a membership, you’ll receive an email when your box is “done”. You can then go on the website and view what pieces will be included in your box and if you don’t like any of them, you can switch them out for other cute pieces.
Stitchfix is another clothing subscription company I’ve considered. Notice I said considered because I most certainly do not have the money for their monthly boxes filled with designer clothing. Parcel is way more affordable, but keeps my closet up to date.
Another unique aspect of Parcel22 is that if you adore a piece they sent you, you can keep it for a way discounted price than its original price. You simply fill out the form sent to you in the box and keep the piece and sent the others back. It’s so simple and allows you to try pieces before committing to it like you would have to if bought from a store. This has been something I enjoy about Parcel because I’ve found that I buy pieces from the store full price and wear them only once because it was uncomfortable to wear over hours of time.
Still not convinced? Parcel22 pays for all dry cleaning and fixes your pieces may need. You can trust that your pieces arrive clean and dry cleaned and if you tear or stain it, you won’t be charge more!
STILL unsure? (c’mon seriously did you even read the article)
