CURATEUR Summer 2021 Box Full Spoilers

Well once again RZ has dropped the ball. For months now I have been getting my box very late. Been a customer for three years. Brought my sister to Curateur for Winter box last year, and she gets her box weeks before me and we have the SAME membership!! Each time I contact customer service I get the same rhetoric over and over. YET they want me to upgrade my member ship!! They can’t even get my current membership correct. Box was lost last time, now this box was OPEN!! NO seal or sign a seal was ever on the box flap! CS blames the warehouse. So tired of this company.
I like what was in the box…HATE their business practices. They need to do better otherwise BYE

PSA: if you are thinking about ordering this box and can wait, please wait until the discounts come out – most often $50 off but there is a chance one of the choice items could sell out – in that case, wait for $35 off coupon which usually appears a few weeks before the $50 and most often has both choices

LOVE this box! The bag looks seasonless (I can wear year round), the towel looks huge and the necklace is so fun – will totally layer with my everyday pieces. The skincare + MJ is the cherry on top. LOVE everything!

I really wish they would learn how to give proper measurements over at Curateur… I decided to go with the towel (even though I’d rather have the Kaftan), because the measurement said “30in waist measured flat, un-cinched.” Does that mean 30in across (times 2 to account for the back, meaning that someone over a size 10 can actually wear it)? 30in total (meaning only petite/thin women will be able to wear it as intended)? Seriously. I already have so much I can’t wear from this and other boxes, because they won’t offer different size options on clothing and jewelry…it’s infuriating and extremely sad that in 2021 they think that all women should be able to fit in the same, small mold. Those rings from the Spring Curation are laughable they’re so tiny! SMH!!

This box looks decent. I don’t think it’s for me -for the price though…That necklace is awesome! Never heard of the brand and went to the site and seen a lot of lovely pieces (frm the little bit I browsed). Glad I came across it though…

I subscribed to this box for a year. I liked my first box but was underwhelmed on the next three. I cancelled my membership (easy to do, just a quick click). I may buy individual boxes when they are almost guaranteed to be offered at a deep discount near the end of the ‘season’. I don’t think it is worth the 350$ annual fee.

The only thing I like in this box is the MJ lip oil.

I’ve never subbed this box and I probably never will. All these totes, towels, kaftans and jewelry scream Kmart to me. Low quality material made in China with a designer name attached. These are not luxury pieces.

I completely disagree that a person can’t wear multiple trends at once. I feel like the items in this box actually complement each other very well. If I am wearing a busy print I definitely want a neutral bag to go with it and that necklace doesn’t seem as bright gold as some previous pieces and it takes any outfit up a notch. I can totally see myself using everything on our upcoming tropical vacation. That coverup will look amazing over my black swimsuit with my new black LV wedges. Look for the stylish mom relaxing in the oceanside cabana lol.

I like the necklace (it would look better in silver).

Not impressed with any of it for the price. The bag is boring and I don’t like the fact that Rachel Zoe is printed on it. It makes it look cheap.

The only thing I really like is the necklace and I’m not sure how much I like that. I just signed up (again) last week to get the spring box deal. For once, I was actually planning on staying subscribed but I’m not sure I can after seeing the full spoilers…

Yet another boring season. I have had subscription for a year and this is the second one I am skipping. 🙁 Ugh, a boring tote, a kaftan that I won’t even consider wearing (short and stout does not go well with kaftans), a face oil (my face gets oily anyway in the summer), and some weird looking necklace. I think the lip oil and the towel are not bad, but I don’t feel like wasting a season on it. Still hoping for a jackpot!

Once again it’s just.. underwhelming. And the price is not! They had hinted some silver tone jewelry was coming but I guess not. At least a necklace will fit and is adjustable.. unlike previous pieces sized for teeny tiny people! I actually love the necklace even though it’s gold. But the bag.. meh. Love the lip oil. But the hero product just isn’t a win. 🙁 Probably too late to skip. I wish she would do some customer research.. somewhere the concept of the box got off track. It used to be cutting edge products ahead of trend.. now.. not so much.

I wrote them to cancel – there was an “error” when I tried to from the web page. While there are a couple things that look moderatey interesting (Kaftan, face oil) there isn’t anything I need in it.

The wierdest part of the box for me is the clash of styles. Despite her photo op pic, I highly doubt these are things the same woman would be interested in, let alone use all at once. It’s like there’s the minimalist black/gray/white/stripey trend, the Palm print trend, the celestial trend, and the chunky jewelry/statement trend all in one box. Not only are all those trends several years+ old by now and nothing new, they aren’t usually ones put together. Someone into a wild (but pretty) Palm print is unlikely to be a severe minimalist. Someone who likes celestial jewery usually doesn’t reach for chunky gangster chains. It’s not that there can’t be someone out there with that eclectic mix of styles, but that it is not typical for them all to be rolled together, and the variety of clashing aesthetics would make these difficult pieces to work into a wardrobe rotation. It just doesn’t seem fitting for a box of style, whether one is going more trendy or classic.

My other big nitpick with the box is the bag itself – it’s a *canvas* tote, and it’s white. Even my colorfu stripey tote from Causebox was picking up stains from day one, and needs a good wash after I took it on vacation to California/Arizona. Canvas is not an easy material to keep clean. That white one is going to be looking dingy within a day or two!

Kaftan and necklace are cute but not feeling anything else. The bag is similar to last summers bag except that it was a tote with brown trim. Not very original.

The caftan looks like it’s the exact same print from that sheer coverup/robe Rachel Zoe sent out years ago in this box when it was called Box of Style. It’s nicer than this one and I still have 2 of them for some reason.

Bah – I would pay someone $99 NOT to give me another tote! And the necklace seems very cheap to me. I wish I could make one decent box by combining some of the elements of this one with some from the spring.

It’s currently saying “sold out,” on the bundle. I hope that’s not actually the case.

Ufff, I was really hoping I would like this season’s box, but it’s very underwhelming. I loved my first box (last winter’s) but hated spring and now this.

Please Rachel Zoe Please just try Silver and not Yellow Gold for at least one season out of the year. I despise yellow gold, I know I’m not alone, and if the jewelry and in my ideal world any purse hardware is silver, I would throw you all my money. Sigh. Why is it always yellow gold. This necklace in some of the pictures was fairly pale and I was so hoping it was silver. I love the design of the pendant.

I like the necklace, it’s cute for what it is. Not really into any of the other items.

I think it looks great but wish you didn’t have to choose between the towel and kaftan. I’d rather do without the purse or necklace.

I think it’s an okay box. I like the bag, it’s simple and clean looking. It just looks like a white bag. I don’t see any shadow? The prints for the cover ups/caftans are often like this one. I don’t think it’s unusual. The towel is understated and minimal looking and matches the bag. Name brand lip oil. A statement piece of jewelry. This is fine!

And poof!! The palm print has vanished….

The bag is awesome…with the shadow…
