I-ELLA The List Gift Bag Review – Women’s Clothing Subscription Boxes – Soho Bag

Did you get the box this month? Of shoes?

I just ordered my first box, I started with the starter box and can’t wait to see what’s in it!

I love your bag. I think it is a nice value for those items. Ella is truly responsive and you can tell she cares about her bags.
I love the Maxi dresses , botties (did not receive unfortunatly) as well as the Cynthia Steffe dresses.
I have the St Bart’s bag and received a Cynthia Steffe Grapic Print dress in size 8. Adorable but it just does not fit my athletic curvy 5’7 body. Shame!
If anyone is interested please send me an email. I can sell or trade.

I just received my march box I got a Cynthia steffe Maya maxidress the dress is not for me it is striped and rather shapeless I am a size 10 -12 and the maxidress is striped not very flattering. I also received bath salts the wipes and 2 lip balm . I found the value if this bag was around $215 but I saw quite a few starter bag reviews from bloggers that had a higher value than my soho. I am also in Canada so I paid $35 to have this shipped I ended up giving the dress to my mother in law the positive side this box was marked as gift so I did not have to pay duty. I do not usually spend this amount of money on a gift subscription and am hoping the boxes in the future are more like what I see the bloggers are receiving as I was a bit disappointed In this one.

I just received my March bag today….although I was informed it was going to be late. I received three very cool designer bracelets which I would love even more if I didn’t have freakishly small wrists….but I still am a fan. I also received the Herben Essentials towelettes (hit!) and an armour lipgloss (too bright for me), as well as a $30 gift cert for champagne which I haven’t looked into so I’m not sure about that. So without the gc, I think my value was around $125….but more importantly I liked my items ;). This is my second and also pleased last month.

I just got my March Soho bag today – had to ask about it – I think maybe they forgot about me. 🙂

This was my first bag – and OMG you got shoes and a maxi dress!!! JEALOUS!

I got a beautiful Vanessa Mooney necklace and an adorable Stephanie Dress by Pinky Otto. The dress is ivory and reallllllllly sheer though, and I don’t think I’m fashionista enough to figure out how to wear it without the world being able to see everything under it. I also might have been too hard on myself while filling out my sizes on the profile because the M is too big (BUT YAY ME for losing some inches – WOO HOO! – I’m finally back down to a Size 2). I can get it altered if I can figure out how to wear it though, so no biggie. It is REALLY exquisite – the lace detailing is beautiful. When I put it on, I look like a much nicer person (laugh). Everyone’s so used to seeing me in suits and business attire at work.

I got a gazillion towelettes (15 LOL), the cool lip gloss, and the soap. Didn’t get the eye makeup remover, but that’s OK.

My bag was worth $256, so I’m not complaining. It was a ton of fun to get it. I am surprised to read that people got different things. I think it’s kind of cool that we’re not all getting cookie-cutter bags, although yeah, I can see how it could cause some envy problems. I should have given my style profile more thought – I had no idea they would customize the bags. Hats off to Ella for that – wooo, that must be a ton of hard work. ♥

I’ve been pretty jealous of both your I-ella bags. I also got some version of the Siman Tu earrings last month. I wear earrings every day but these really aren’t for ‘every day wear’ which is ok (who couldn’t use some special occasion earrings?) but I was really disappointed to get clip-ons when the style profile specifically asked if I was pierced. I feel like there should be a second part to that question in the profile questionnaire- if you are pierced, would you wear clip-ons?
I’ve been very impressed with the customer service so far which is why I’m still positive toward I-ella but I am disappointed that I received my February bag in March and as of right now have no shipping information for my March bag so will clearly receive my March bag in April but I am hoping I’ll be more impressed with this bag and my next.

I am so jealous of your box! I was so looking forward to getting this box, I bought the $49 box to try it out first before upgrading, and when it arrived I was so disappointed. I got the towelettes, a trial size cream and lip balm. The big item was this ugly looking daisy pleated cream blouse from pinky Otto that is totally not my style. It was supposed ot be worth $115 but i will probably just throw it away… Now I am definitely thinking I will cancel rather than upgrade to the $149 box 🙁

I am so thrilled they ship international!
Also I became totally addicted to your blog, love it! <3

Hi Melissa,

I’m really sorry that you didn’t like your earrings in the last SoHo Bag. They are designed by Siman Tu who also designed pieces for Gossip Girls. We thought you would love them based on your style and the emerald color is very on trend.

I thought I was relatively prompt in responding to your emails.

Additionally, the feedback for The List has been overwhelmingly positive from our members and only recently have we started sending bags to bloggers.

We certainly welcome your feedback and look forward to building a long fashionably relationship with all of you.

Past reviews…

Below are just some of the reviews.

Hi Ella, Just received my bag and was very happy with everything. (Deb, New York)

Hello! I got my package today, and it was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely love every, single piece. (Jaime, Hawaii)

Thank you so much for the beautiful dress, jewelry, clutch, and all the other candle and cream. I am now so ready for holiday parties now! (Eva, South Carolina)

I received my box and loved it!!!! Everything in it is spectacular!!!!! Thanks you so much!!!! (Jane, Florida)

I can’t get over the items in the gift bags that just arrived! The Cynthia Steffe dress is so beautiful!! I love the style and bold floral print. The Schutz flats are awesome too! The value of these items for the price amazes me!! Thanks so much 🙂 (Kristin, Florida)

All the reviews of The List have me drooling to sign up. Unfortunately I’m being good and will wait a few months after I pay a few bills. I’m a little worried with what Kim said above though. If it’s true they are “padding” boxes sent to bloggers to get better reviews, that seems almost a fraud. Hopefully that isn’t the case.

I subscribed (ordered the starter bag) and this will be my first month. I actually did receive a tracking number. my package was delivered today apparently, so I’ll get to see it when I’m home from work. Really hope we non-bloggers get comparable bags!

I haven’t received a tracking number either. I had the same problem last month and I was extremely disappointed with my Soho bag. I received one “big ticket” item that didn’t suit me at all. This item was also only slightly above the price that I paid for the bag. My additional items were the hair oil that everyone got and two lip balms valued at 3 or 4 dollars each. I have looked at several online reviews and it seems to me like they are sendly vastly better value bags to the people who have review blogs. I am hoping that they redeem themselves with my next two bags. If not, I won’t be signing up for another three.

Did you receive tracking this month? I haven’t received anything and am wondering when my package will arrive
