Review about: FarmRio
Several Items
I love Farm Rio , for their unusal bright patterns and designs. I love my Vest i bought over Anthropologie.
I just took advantage of the Memorial Day Sale and ordered last Wednesday.
I paid 25$ extra for faster shipping , in order to receive my items before the weekend. Since it stated 2-3Business days.
I received friday that my order has been placed and will reach me Wednesday of this week. Seven days later ... i reached out over the Customer Service and requested a refund on the faster delivery since it wouldn't be what I paid for. I understand for backlog etc. Then just dont offer it? The Customer Service seemed to be either a bot or not able to fully understand english. It was basically no help at all. I was send my package number and a nice : yay so exciting your order is on the way...
My order arrived today after 6 Business days.
Before i opened it i noticed a scent. I remembered the scent but blanked the name. The entire package smelled like it. And I asked my boyfriend if he smells it too. He said yes ! But he didnt think of it in a bad way. It reminded him of grandma.
It reminded me of Grandma , dirt and musty basement. Now that I read the other reviews PATCHOULI! of course Patchouli. I am not a big fan of the smell and i know it can be hard to get out of clothes. I wish they would use something less lingering since i actually like the idea of having a nice scent. First i thought someone send the items back and wore them before but now that I know it was not only my package I am a little relieved.
I ordered two dresses , a sweater and a blouse.
The Blouse is cute , but the print only one one side and due to ruffles the white back is visible. (This was not shown on pictures)
The first dress is of a stiffer material but very cute. I like it. I hope it will get softer over time. It comes with pockets and i really think its adorable.
The second dress has a Sunflower Pattern a big cut out Back and seemed not very showing in the front. Because the Model had no ... I assume.
The dress is very open hearted (i wear a M it fits nicely but the cleavage is huge)
The buttons are also little sunflowers and absolutely horrible to close be ause the petals get kinda stuck in the hole.
The pullover is really cute i like it a lot. But i noticed that it was kind of scratchy so i checked the label and it somehow made me feel duped.
Farm Rio caught my attention since they were talking about diversity, changing fast Clothing. Having a deeper meaning behind their label and i somehow had in mind they produce in Brazil. I remember seeing something about different indigenous women world wide , who worked on the designs etc. Well, the clothes are made in China...
This left open , i am glad i at least planted a tree with my purchase, to make me feel better. ?
I still love the designs and i assume i would buy again. But the prices in consideration with the knowledge where everything came from makes me think I'd rather buy somewhere else.
It's a bot. As a matter of fact every time I sent an email, although my question was different, I received the same response. It insults the intelligence.
I'm on a committee that supports and fundraises for women owned businesses and it disgust me to see a company so dishonest claim to have a moral mission.
I do most of my shopping at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. They both sell this brand but I intend to contact the corporate offices to tell them they should not promote a company that "rips off" people.
