Golden Tote, who kindly sent me this tote for review, offers monthly totes of clothing for women. Â New totes are available on the first Monday of the month and two tote options are offered. The $49 tote includes 2-3 items (up to a $250 value) and you are able to select one piece for your tote. The $149 tote includes 5-7 items (up to a $600 value) and you are able to select two pieces which are guaranteed to be included in your tote. I was lucky enough to receive the $149 tote for review and was so excited when it arrived last week.
Golden Tote ships via UPS.  My tote was expedited for review purposes, so it came in just a few days! Golden Tote‘s are shipped weekly and it is their goal to get orders placed the first week of the sale shipped by no later than Friday of the following week.
Every Golden Tote is shipped in it’s own cute tote! Â They are different each month and are all labeled with the month they pertain to. Â They make a great beach or library tote.
Each piece is individually packaged and labeled with the size. Â You get style cards on the two (or one if you opt for the $49 tote) pieces in the tote in that you select. Â I should also mention that if you aren’t happy with your Golden Tote, you are welcome to return it. However, it’s an all or nothing return. Â You must either keep or return all of the pieces.
Golden Tote doesn’t include an information card listing all of the pieces you receive, however, they do include some general information about Golden Tote including details on their return policy. Â They also include information on their Facebook Trading Group where you can trade pieces you aren’t satisfied with or don’t fit right.
As I mentioned I got the $149 tote to review and here is what I received:
~Mixed Print Top: This was one of the items that I selected this month. Â I went back and forth on it a few times because I wasn’t sure if I loved the mixed prints, but I did love the shape of it. Â I am super glad I went for it though because it’s gorgeous! Â The colors are beautiful and I think it’s way prettier in person than the pictures show!
~Merrick for Golden Tote Black Lace Top: I love this top! Â I tried to get it in the coral color in the picture, but they were sold out of the size I needed. But the black is just as pretty and probably more me anyway!
~Grey Striped Sweatshirt Dress: Meh. Â I am probably going to try to trade this one or just give it to a friend. Â It’s super unflattering on me, but I will say it’s very comfortable.
~Black Flower Tank: This is also super comfortable, but unlike the dress, I really like this one. Â It’s good for under a cardigan at work or with just jeans for a night out.
~Navy and White Oversized Top: I took a picture of the back of this top instead of the front because the back is where it’s at! Â It’d look great paired with skinny jeans or leggings and while oversized, it isn’t necessarily bulky. Â The material is soft and thin which is perfect.
~Grey Cardigan: If this was just a tad longer it might just be the most perfect cardigan ever! Â It’s made from a sweatshirt material and is so comfortable. Â With the crazy Michigan weather we have I wouldn’t be surprised if I got to wear this next weekend!
I didn’t do a cost breakdown for this tote, but I received five pieces for $149, which works out to about $30/piece.  I don’t know about you, but I tend to spend much more than that on things.  And like I mentioned before, Golden Tote does allow you to return your tote if you aren’t happy, however, it’s all or nothing.  You need to return the tote in full and can’t just return a few pieces.  Don’t forget about the Facebook Trading Group though if you are interested in swapping our pieces with other members!
If you are interested in ordering or just want to check out the sale, click here. Â If you are on the fence about something I’d recommend not delaying because things do seem to sell out quickly!
I love everything you got! I always feel like golden tote is a bit too much of a gamble for me because I don’t always love their patterned surprise pieces, but this tote is great. If would totally buy your striped dress off you if you were to sell it, it looks like something to live in.
What size are you??
Usually a Large.
E-mail me!

Oops hit post too soon on that comment. đŸ™‚ Meant to say Nice Tote! I got my tote today and I love it! I also got the Merrick top, black flower tank, and Priddy dress (but in charcoal)!
Cute stuff!!!!!
Hi Jen,
Thought about you, I got a bath and bodywork coupon from retailmenot . FALLFREBBIE, got me $10 off $50 with free shipping and a free item. The free item was the least expensive item in your cart. There was also a 20 percent also:)
Ohh, awesome! I need to use that ASAP!
Do you know of other clothing subs that have more sizes? Golden Tote is pretty cute but that S, M, L options are NOT cutting it and I can’t be the only one.
There is Gwynnie Bee, but that’s a rental service. Let me think!
How accurate are Golden Totes sizes? I know some companies (splendies) tend to run small.
They are fairly accurate. They have more than one brand in the totes though so you could get one that goes a little one way or anything. But their Facebook Trade group is super active so you could easily trade.
Hi! I am wondering–how is the quality of the golden tote clothes? I am looking at both stitch fix and golden tote and would love a quick and dirty comparison of the quality of the two as a post or a response, if you can! I understand how both services work, but don’t know how the quality stacks up to one another.
Thanks for taking the time to review these services!
Stitch Fix uses both in house and other brands you’d find at, say Nordstrom. Golden Tote is more in house labels and stuff that was made just for Golden Tote. I would say that the quality is about equal. The thing with Stitch Fix is that you can send back whatever you don’t like. And it’s customized to you. With Golden Tote, you can ONLY send your entire tote back. Not just individual pieces. But Golden Tote is also a better bargain. 5-7 pieces for $149 is a deal. And their Facebook Trade Group is super active.
Another swap site that has a lot of Golden Tote subscribers is swap.mysubscriptionaddiction.com I bought my first GT this month and was nervous about sizes, but I knew that I could always swap on that site if I needed too. People swap GT as well as other subscriptions, so you could always swap for make up, pop sugar items, other sub box clothes, etc.
Good call! You can always swap GT stuff!
I LOVE the cardigan! totally want it!
