Little Black Bag March 2014

Little Black Bag 

Little Black Bag is a different monthly subscription service.  You sign up as a monthly member and pick a product each month that varies in price according to the picked item and suggested retail price.  The price you pay is always much less than the suggested retail price, even if you choose the bundle option.  You can choose just the product that you want to purchase or for a little more money you can choose to bundle the item.  This usually includes the main product chosen and in my experience one or two jewelry pieces.  

You can open the bag with various different products ranging from bags or jewelry to beauty products or shoes. Each month VIPS are offered the option to skip the month, or if you do not skip your credit card will be charged $10.00 that can be used in a later opened bag purchase.  Non VIPS are not able to skip months. 

This is one of the more expensive monthly subscription services, but with the option to skip each month and being guaranteed to know what you are getting before it ships, the price is justified for me. After you pick your item and depending on if you choose to bundle or not, the "Stylist Picks" are revealed after purchase.  Then you have a week to trade the products that you choose for other items.  Some people are really good at trading and are able to get really good boxes shipped out.  I wouldn't say that I'm one of those people, but I'm working on it!

Little Black Bag has recently merged with fashion app, Pose. The Little Black Bag name was thrown out and now it's just Pose. Before the merger there were several amazing sales for LBB to get rid of their stock. Here is the first of four orders that I recently received. 


Wanted 'Austwell' boots in grey
While I had an open bag, Little Black Bag had a sale. A huge selection of shoes were all $10.00. This wasn't something I could pass up, especially since I already had an open bag. I added these boots to my bag since I don't have a pair of grey boots. They are really comfortable and fit well. I didn't even need to break these shoes in - they were comfortable the moment I tried them on. The only issue that I have with these boots is that they scratch up really easily.  The first day that I wore these boots, I had black scuff marks all along the heels of the boots. 


Catherine Stein Designs Midi Ring set. 
This set included four midi rings. 
An open arrow
Star
Filigree
Flower


Jules Smith Lighting Bolt Earings in gold.
These earrings were bigger than I expected, but I still like them.  I think that these earrings would look better on someone in the second hole of the ears so that it lays nicer on the ear. I only have one hole in each ear so the lightning bolt hung a little lower than my ear. 


Jules Smith Open Heart cuff bracelet.
This is the item that I opened my bag with. I really liked the wooden hearts on this bracelet.


Lolita Jewelry Skull bracelet


Although Little Black Bag is currently closed, many of the same products and trading structure still exists through Pose.
