In this episode, I talk all about Haverdash, the cheaper alternative to Rent the Runway Unlimited. I talk about the pros and cons of each service, and how they are similar and different. I also talk about some of my favorite items I have been trying on and what I would like to try on.
00:00:00.080Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking all about Haverdash.
00:00:08.360Now if you haven't heard about Haverdash, Haverdash is kind of like the cheaper alternative to rent the Runway Unlimited.
00:00:14.880So what Haverdash is, is that you can pay $59 a month and you basically have an unlimited closet.
00:00:21.400They have a whole online closet with all of these different categories of clothes, skirts and shirts and blouses and sweaters and things like that.
00:00:29.480And you can add that to your personal closet.
00:00:32.320Then what happens is that they'll select three styles from your closet and send it to you in the mail.
00:00:38.140One of the things you have to know about Haverdash as opposed to Rent the Runway is, first of all, Rent the Runway is usually $159 a month.
00:00:45.500Now that is $100 more than Haverdash, which is a lot.
00:00:49.740They're doing a promotion right now that's $80 for 60 days, which ends up being cheaper than Haverdash.
00:00:55.700But in the course of time, it ends up being $159 a month, which is a lot.
00:01:00.140The other big difference between Haverdash and Rent the Runway Unlimited is that with Haverdash, you don't get to choose what comes to you and what they send to you.
00:01:07.820You prioritize certain things that you hope they'll send to you over the course of the month, but it doesn't always mean that they will send it to you.
00:01:14.000So when I talked to the customer service representative, she suggested to me that if you go to their new arrivals page and you prioritize one of those, because they're new, they're probably not already sent out to people.
00:01:26.380So you're more likely to get those when you prioritize them.
00:01:29.260If you prioritize things that are older, then they may already be sent out to people, so you may not get them when you want.
00:01:36.060But that is a really big drawback for me, is that you don't get to choose the things that you want and get them when you want them.
00:01:43.200You kind of just have a rotating closet, and they send you the things that they want from the things that you like when they can.
00:01:50.300For example, when I went to visit my in-laws for Thanksgiving, I was hoping I would get a dress to wear for the holidays, and I wasn't able to get a dress because they didn't send to me what I had chosen.
00:02:03.260Instead, they sent something from my closet.
00:02:05.200Another thing that you can do with Haverdash is that you can notify them of a return before you actually return it, and that can set the whole process in motion, so that they'll start sending you stuff even before you return things.
00:02:17.660I have found that it actually hasn't made things that much quicker, but that may be because of my location.
00:02:22.420I'm in a kind of a hard location to ship things to.
00:02:24.680Another thing that I wasn't the biggest fan of with Haverdash is that you have to send all three things back instead of just sending whatever you want back and getting something in return.
00:02:33.160You have to send all three things back, and then you get three new things, but everything is paid for, and it is similar to Rent the Runway in that way.
00:02:41.140It is free shipping, free dry cleaning, just like Rent the Runway Unlimited, and the selection is a little bit different because the clothing isn't runway.
00:02:49.000It's clothing that's a little bit out of my price range generally, a little bit above what I would normally spend, maybe $100, $150, but it's not runway prices, so that might be why they're able to do $59 a month instead of $159 a month.
00:03:02.440So when you get your box in the mail, it looks like this.
00:03:04.880It says Haverdash on the front, and then on the back it says Life's Too Blank to wear the same thing twice, which I thought was really cute.
00:03:13.100And then it has a hashtag Haverdash sign right here.
00:05:02.300I don't think that the fabric is that nice.
00:05:05.000I looked it up, and it's 65% cotton, and then the rest is polyester, so I don't think this is the nicest fabric.
00:05:11.400I also just don't think it feels that expensive, but I do think it's a cute little skirt, and the length, I thought it was going to be much shorter than it was, but it actually isn't as short as I expected.
00:05:24.520So I do like that, but this skirt, I think, is kind of cute, and yeah, it's from a company called Day2Day.
00:05:32.120Again, wouldn't buy this, but it's cool to be able to try things and then switch them out, and it feels nice to not have to shove so much stuff in my closet.
00:05:41.900Like, I just don't want to always have to own everything.
00:05:44.660Sometimes it's nice to have the capability to just send something back and get something new.
00:05:53.640So my final thoughts for Haberdash are, if you're looking for more clothing for your closet that you don't have to actually keep in your closet, but you're not looking for clothing for specific events, it's actually a really cool kind of idea.
00:06:07.300You don't have to pick out everything that you want for that day.
00:06:11.320It's more like a rotating closet, and I do like the idea of that, plus it's much more affordable.
00:06:16.380But if you're looking for a dress or a gown or a skirt specifically for a certain event, this probably wouldn't be the best fit for you.
00:06:25.600The other thing about Haberdash is that they don't have accessories.
