|Review|: Tosave.com Shopping Experience

Hello Beautiful!

A month back I was contacted by PR team of Tosave.com to do a review for their website. For this purpose I was awarded a credit of $15 to buy any product(s) of my liking. I chose a tote bag and a set of rings for review purposes. This was the first time I heard of this e-commerce page and it was my first experience shopping from them. Below is my candid opinion based on my experience.

I love using tote bags on daily basis. Totes are basically life savers for me as they allow me to dump my world in one bag and carry it around anywhere with me. I am petite and 5.1' by height but my bags tend to weigh heavier than me. Funny!

As for this tote, it isn't exactly the quality I am used to, its more of something you get from a flea market. Overall look of the bag is neat and outer finishing is fine but the straps are low quality with un-neat stitching and threads coming off. The bands over the straps are lose and the inner bottom of the bag is also badly done.

The good thing about this tote messenger is, it closes with a magnetic button unlike a few totes I have used recently which remain open and come with no button or zip closures. This is the sort of bag I would use roughly, like for small travels and trips to markets.

I am slightly disappointed with the quality of the bag material. Its not sturdy at all and won't withstand rough usage. I used this handbag for the first time for travelling out station in a bus. I had my routine stuff in the bag which I normally carry on a daily basis. The bag slightly got rubbed against something in the bus and this tear at the bottom corner happened. Although its very small and not very much visible but yet it made me unhappy. I guess I can not complain considering the price.

This small pouch comes inside the handbag. Its not attached anywhere and neither has an attachment belt but comes as a clutch or an extra pocket in the bag. Compared to the bag itself, I am impressed with the quality of the pouch. The seams are neatly done and finishing is excellent. It opens and closed by a magnetic button and the inside fabric is matte suede like.

Price: 

The bag is priced at $12.98.

The next item selected by me was a ring set consisting of 10 pieces. As the picture depicted on the website, my understanding was, few of these rings would be midis. However these are all the same size with little or no difference, non adjustable and there are no size options available on the website. They come in a standard size. I would not recommend this ring set to people with thin lean fingers as it wouldn't fit them very well. This ring set is convenient for people with 18, 17 and 16 as ring sizes. None of these are midi rings however. Also the finishing is very different from what is depicted in the pictures.

As clearly visible, the quality is not that great. Gold color has been done haphazardly on the rings and there are areas amiss. Probably they have tried giving the illusion of antique look but it has not worked out well at all. The finishing and neatness is really off. The ring borders are quite rough. The material used is light weight and thin. With proper finishing and color, these rings undoubtedly would have ended up looking great but I guess you get what you pay for. These rings are for $1.22 and the price speaks for the quality. These rings can be ordered via this link.

Final Verdict:

Tosave.com is pretty much like aliexpress but at a smaller level. Tosave.com is offering global shipping and that too expedited. I will admit that I am very impressed with their shipping speed and tracking as the parcel reached me within 2 weeks of dispatch. However coming to the quality of the products I am not greatly pleased but considering the price, I can not complain. There are some really useful, handy products available at the website for daily use which I have seen being sold at multitude of price elsewhere. So I do recommend giving tosave.com a try at least.

Hope you liked my review. Don't forget to drop in your comments. Stay healthy and beautiful. xoxo!!!
