  • I've never shopped Italic before, but it seems like Quince with even more premium luxury goods. I appreciate that the website goes into details of why this is a premium product. It was time for a refresh on our towels and bedding, so the ThingDrop came at a great time. The towels are plush and soft, without feeling like it won't dry quickly after use. We found the sateen bedding to be soft which I can also imagine will become softer with more use and washing. They washed up beautifully and slept comfortably - as somebody who runs hot and is post-partum. I also picked up a set of knives that look beautiful and have great weight. I see some older reviews with skincare and whatnot, which were not available when I shopped the site. I am only giving 4 stars as I wish more colors and sizes were in stock on the website, as you would expect during the holidays when people are doing their gifting and shopping.

  • love the options on Italic and seeing the comparable brands, quality of materials, and transparency (without the branding!). i've tried and enjoyed the plush towels and bedding, which have held up very well - the kitchen items are even better than expected as well! the kumo knife is a game-changer while being beautiful - this cutting board was a great upgrade at an amazing price as well. shipping times have improved over the years, highly recommend.

  • Such a comfortable bathrobe. The fabric isn’t extremely thick, but it is soft and feels nice on skin. It’s a bit oversized, which I like as it just feels so much cozier. And the hood! Such a nice touch. I am so happy with this purchase.

  • I got some basic sheets here but it’s become a go-to for bedding and towels. The photo definitely doesn’t show how nice it is (it’s also of their older one and the newer ones are much more luxe). The products have also improved in quality recently and it seems like they’re consistently trying to provide better things. Service is fast and responsive. Would recommend the Japanese knives, towels, sheets. Would not recommend the leather personally because I don’t like the colors or designs. Shipping takes a long time.

  • I have the knife set, Japanese knife, and pots & pans set from Italic. My family only uses All-Clad which i absolutely couldn’t afford as a 20-something first moving out. These are comparable in quality, and honestly I think it’s the perfect combination for one or two people. I do wish they would create a smaller frying pan, though. The knives are fantastic! I don’t love the magnetic wood display, but that could easily be fixed by purchasing a knife block. Everything is very high quality and has lasted for the past year. I took off one star because of their annoying membership experience. When you add items to your cart, Italic automatically adds the $60 membership to cart. Then, when you try to find it in your cart, you don’t see it and cannot remove it. The situation is so frustrating that multiple family members abandoned their carts and bought me the real product instead of the Italic dupe. Message to the company: your products are amazing, but the way you trick people into getting a membership is slimy. It’s turning people away from purchasing. So, buyers be extra careful when checking out!

  • I have made a few purchases from Italic and have been impressed with all so far. Really fast shipping and quality products. I have a dog bed, have tried the candles, and a few other home goods. The pricing is really fair and products seem to be high quality. I like that Italic tells us where the products are coming from and the cost comparison.

    Shipping is great, the packaging was underwhelming, but this could be due to the brand's efforts to be sustainable and reduce overall costs.

    Discount code
  • I bought 2 candles and a kitchen knife from Italic in December. Love the quality of each of the pieces. Candles smell great and the knife is a stylish and useful addition to my kitchen. I like being able to get items similar to brand name at a good price. I also became an Italic bold member to activate some discounts; but I haven't yet purchased anything else.

    Really like the site and the business model that Italic is trying to achieve. The clothing sizes are not going to fit me, so I'm really only interested in the home goods and other products. This can feel limiting at times, but I'm hopeful that they continue to expand their selection. Would also love to see more benefits for the Bold membership.

    Sale or special offer
  • I had an Italic "bold" subscription for a year and enjoyed the various projects I've ordered. Everything is good quality. However some of the packaging can be improved.

    Feedback

    Improve on the packaging of some of these goods. The candles look superb. The clothing and accessories often come in an unmarked package in a plain plastic bag.

  • STAY AWAY and spend your money with going retail w/ a company who stands behind their products. My boyfriend splurged on 14K gold earrings because he wanted me to have the real things. Meanwhile, all my gfs have the Amazon version for $15, and he spent over $300. I only wore them a handful of times before the back broke off before a wedding (horrible timing!). Italic refused to refund or replace and after tons of back & forth offered a $100 credit as an “exception” to replace this $300 brand new set of earrings. We would have been better off going with Amazon. Why splurge when the real deal is so poor quality with an even more poor return policy? I’ll gladly pay retail at Nordstrom from here on out knowing I’ll receive actual customer service. What a waste of money.

    This company is a scam and sells poor quality products with zero accountability. After selling us a defective pair of high end earrings, they completely dodged responsibility and refused to replace my broken pair of brand new 14K gold earrings earrings. Stay away.

  • This is the best exfoliant. I have others but this is my favorite. It's gentle yet very effective and leaves your skin glowing. First bottle's completely finished and here to get more.

    My Favorite

  • I don’t like scrubbing to exfoliate - my skin is sensitive and scrubbing can cause issues - so I was happy to get this from Italic.

    Feedback

    Perfect For Sensitive Skin

  • This does a great job and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Plays well with other Italic skin products. Perfect addition to my morning routine!

    Feedback

    Great

  • I've been trying to up my skin care game but not spend a fortune in the process. Italic has a great balance of price / quality unlike many other brands that wanted to charge 2-4x as much.

    Feedback

    Great Balance Of Price

  • I'm very into skincare, so I got this to see how it stacked up to Paula's Choice. It's a great exfoliant at a good price.

    Feedback

    Excited To Continue Using This

  • AHA leave on exfoliant with no stinging or irritation. Can’t determine yet if effective. Layers well with other products.

    Feedback

    Lots of Product

  • I was initially very excited about Italic and the prospect of getting high quality items for a low price. I bit the bullet and got the subscription, but as others have noted I have ordered maybe 3 times across nearly a year. Love the concept, still waiting out consistency in execution.

    Feedback

    Products can be hit or miss. I had reactions from WOW BEST THING I OWN to wow, I will never use this. Specifically: - Leather backpack: amazing, great quality, comfortable to wear and surprisingly spacious. It looks great and is exactly what I was looking for. Will sing this product’s praises forever - Leather sneakers: no amount of shoe stretchers will stretch this shoe. It is way too snug and uncomfortable, have not been able to wear and even without any wear the leather is turning yellow. Huge letdown. - Tshirts : just ok, I feel like I could get them in Marshall’s for $8 - Candle: it grew on me - at first I was underwhelmed with the smell but it gets better after initial burn, burns clean and great container All in all, hit or miss and very dependent on specific items. However I am all for the concept which is why I do recommend them.

  • High quality products at affordable prices.

  • Great brand, I've purchased several skin care and home products from them. Great customer service.

  • Nice addition to my routine. Feels light and nourishing for winter exfoliation.

    Feedback

    Nice

  • I purchased several items from this brand including the pan set that I use to cook with all the time!

    I wish that they were better about stocking and notifying when new items are released for non-members.
