Basically unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve likely heard of how popular subscription services are. Essentially when you sign up for a subscription service you pay a monthly fee and they deliver a box of goodies to your door every month, or in some cases every few months.
The idea is that everyone loves to receive a surprise. Many of the common subscription boxes including things like makeup, beauty products and baby and children’s gear, but did you also know there are some great subscription boxes for fashion as well?
One of our favorites is Golden Tote. The goal of Golden Tote is to provide customers with a surprise grab bag that’s filled with trendy, stylish clothes and accessories. The team at Golden Tote works with carefully selected fashion brands and they design their own items. Each tote is full of eclectic items so there’s not a whole lot of worry that it’s just not going to be your style. Also, with Golden tote you get to choose one item included in your bag each month, and then the others are selected by the designers and stylists with the company.
There are two different packages to choose from—for $49 you can opt to get a bag with 2-3 items and then for $149 you can get a bag with 5-7 items. The lower priced bag is designed to be up to a $250 value, while the larger bag can reach up to a $600 value.
Everything gets packaged in an equally stylish signature tote and then shipped to your door.
Here’s a rundown of how Golden Tote works, straight from the company:
Shop: We work directly with fashion brands and purchase overstock as well as current, well-priced merchandise.
Design: We design and produce the highest quality clothing items exclusively for Golden Tote.
Curate: We personally curate each Golden Tote and give you a variety of items to complement your wardrobe.
Surprise: We surprise you every time: not knowing exactly what you’ll get makes shopping with us so exciting.
Golden Tote was a concept launched by two young fashion designers—Sarah Becker and Sarah Sweeney. The women launched the clothing like Puella, a celebrity favorite, back in 2003. Several years ago they came up with the idea for Golden Tote after being inspired by putting together Puella grab bags.
They say the following about their love of fashion and how that translates to Golden Tote:
Ask anyone who knows us to tell you what “the Sarahs” have in common (besides our names, our husbands’ names and that we’re blond), and they’ll tell you that we love to shop, and for us, shopping is a major source of inspiration. Whether we’re scouring a flea market or a great designer’s sample sale, we love landing a deal… and discovering all of the beautiful, eclectic, must-have clothes and accessories out there. But your closet is our next destination, and it’s time for you to put us to work!
