Lately I placed a first order at Felissimo, a catalog-shopping-style mail order service.
What makes it special is that it offers random color and design variations from a series that you choose. Ordering an item is at the same time a subscription to getting another item of the same series every month (it's guaranteed that you never get the exact same thing), though you can cancel at anytime. It didn't seem like a bad idea not to have to choose my clothes further than a general style idea, and prices also being relatively low (though the stuff is made in China) and designs attractive, I decided to give it a go.
So a week or two ago I placed an order for "simple office style pants" for the good price of only ¥3900 (including taxes and shipping) from their .fr store, which offers clothes designed by Maurizio Galante and other designers.
Yesterday arrived a bigger-than-expected box containing the pants, and also about a dozen catalogs of the same company (which made for most of the box' weight).
The pants are themselves nice, slightly of a different style than I had in mind from the pictures seen on the site. I actually like that it's of a color that I probably wouldn't have picked myself, making possible new wardrobe matches. The only thing is that the size is a slight bit bigger than what I usually wear, not so much that it's too big for me to wear though. Maybe I would have given a smaller size a try, but shipping fees for returns are to be paid by the client, so it may not have been at my advantage especially if the smaller size was to be too tight.
Mainly for that reason, I unfortunately cancelled the subscription and I'll probably stick to buying my pants in shops for the time being. Too bad.
Oh and by the way, there are a few pictures of Kahimi Karie posing in the no.10 collection!
