My experience in purchasing from Zipia

Hi, it's been about one month since the last post. I'm back to do a quick post but I'm still currently busy because of finals. I have a 12-15 page history research paper due for finals and that is really stressing me out. Okay, on with the Zipia purchase. This purchase was made quite a long time ago but I feel that I should share my experience in buying from Zipia. I made this purchase with my friend so I didn't have to buy $300 worth of stuff. My total came out to be $110. This is still a lot of money to me because I'm a poor college student. -_- Here is...
My first reaction to the minimum purchase for Zipia: 

You have been warned, the minimum purchase for buying clothes from Zipia is $300. I read somewhere that it used to be $500. The reason for such a high minimum purchase is because Zipia is a supplier for apparel businesses but they are starting to accept the idea of individuals buying for themselves. 

So here's what I bought from Zipia. Most of the stuff I bought are probably not on the website anymore but there are some other really pretty clothes and accessories you can find there.


Coloration Mini Tote Bag: $17
Material: synthetic leather
Color: Grey Beige
So in the inside there's only one zipper pocket. It's pretty small, so it's good for putting stuff like credit card, money, and so on. I like how the bag has a handle so I can hold it like a mini briefcase. I remember there are other colors like red and black. I tried searching for this bag again and they didn't have it anymore. =[ 

Now for the clothes...



Left: Color Casual Boxy Knit T $19
Material: acrylic-mixed spinning
I LOVE this sweater because it has side pockets that are hidden and because I like the deep blue color . This sweater is not that thick and it's stretchy. It shrank a bit the first time I washed it. From the stock picture the sweater seems to be longer and baggier. Unfortunately this sweater is also not selling anymore.
Right: Beige Cardigan ~$20
This cardigan is very baggy and loose. It's so comfy but not as warm as I thought it would be. I feel that button will come off because the buttons are loose. This the a last addition to my final order so I don't have the information on what kind of material this is made from.


Left: Soft Knit Pocket T $17
Material: Wool-mixed spinning
On the stock picture, this knit looks a little bit longer. The material is stretchy and soft.  I think I have an addition with the color beige because 3 out of 5 items I bought from Zipia is beige. Anyways, I like how this knit has a little pocket but I'll probably never use it because stuff might fall out. 
Right: Basic Knit T $13
Material: Knit o.o
I wasn't very satisfied with this sweater because on the stock picture, the sweater looks longer than what I have on. Maybe it shrank when I washed it? I don't know... I don't have much to say about this  sweater because I haven't worn it out yet.

Overall experience: Most of the clothes I bought from them are either smaller than the stock picture or shrinks when I wash them. The quality of the material of these clothes are really good. The best thing I like about Zipia is that they has new styles all the time. Its a good idea to buy with friends or relatives if you don't want to buy $300 worth of clothes.
