  • I joined at the very beginning, when it was subscribers only, because I liked the business model and the promise of quality at at affordable price. They've since ditched the subscription model and expanded into a large range of goods including jewelry, home, travel, pets, and more. Everything I've purchased has been good quality, not amazing but good, and durable. I like the transparency of cost-to-create and how that becomes a purchase price. Even though I have yet to get any of the home or kitchen items I do appreciate the options and consider Italic a go-to when I need something basic that will last.

    The clothes are not remotely inclusive. Their XXL pretty much tops out at a 12-14 US, which leaves out huge swathes of the possible purchasers. Their visual advertising is also not inclusive and its starting to bother me, mostly seeing white incredibly skinny folks wearing neutral color clothing. Some awareness of the fact that humanity comes in difference shapes and sizes and colors would be appreciated. I'd also love more information about sustainability of materials.

  • Amazing quality products from Italic, at a lower price.

    Feedback

    More variety of products would be good.

  • 5/5 for the experience of ordering. I bought 2 bags of different sizes of the same style but didn't end up keeping either, but I appreciate the range of styles offered and the experience was seamless.

  • Italic has become one of my favorite brands for high-quality, luxurious items at such a great price. I love how they offer premium goods—whether it’s leather bags, clothing, or home goods—without the designer markup. The craftsmanship is incredible, and I can really feel the difference in the materials. It’s the perfect brand for finding those timeless, well-made pieces that elevate my style without breaking the bank. I’m always impressed with their selection!

  • Italic does an amazing job of offering high end products that look and feel like they are made in the same factories as luxury brands, but at value pricing. I've bought workout leggings, and furry slippers, and the quality of both are great!

  • I've bought a handful of things from Italic, and they've all been fantastic! The towels are my favorite, I would 100% buy them again. Guests compliment them all the time!

  • Obsessed with Italic. Love their cashmere sweaters, their candles, their bedding, the list goes on. Only thing I don't love is their purses (don't love the leather quality), but generally they can do no wrong!

  • Overall, Italic offers an excellent variety of high-quality products for men, women, and home, at a price that's close to unbeatable for the quality. Obviously the experience will vary by product and category, but at this point I've ordered mens clothing, mens footwear, womens clothing, womens footwear, home, and bedding, and all of the items have met or, more often, far exceeded expectations. I highly recommend the Bold membership, because it pays for itself through credit drops throughout the year and offers even bigger discounts on items periodically.

    The challenge with Italic is primarily around fit, which is to be expected from a brand that sources from a variety of factories that supply other luxury brands. MOST of the clothing items I've purchased have fit perfectly, but the occasional item has weird proportions that are likely just similar to another brand the factory supplies. Overall, 9 out of 10 times the items fit as expected, and the reviewer community is great about leaving detailed feedback to help inform buyers prior to purchase.

  • Some products are excellent values (eg accessories, bags, etc), while others are comparably priced to other digital retailers but high quality (eg apparel). The $30 quarterly credit makes this membership an excellent value if you find the products generally appealing. Lack of variety (eg very limited product selection) and inventory (eg products remain sold out for months at a time) is a real shortcoming that the team does not appear to be focused on solving. Likewise, logistics is below best in class (eg 1 week + to receive orders, 1 month+ for return orders to be processed), but they seem to be getting better on this dimension.

    Lack of mercy variety, lack of inventory, slow order fulfillment

  • I love Italic for everything in my home and closet. I've gifted so much Italic and my friends and family have fallen in love with the brand as much as I have. IT'S SUCH A GOOD PRICE! AND EVERYTHING IS HIGH QUALITY! Can't share all the things I've bought from Italic but some of the most lifechanging are the towel set, sheets/duvet cover/pillow cases, mixing bowls, wallet, crewneck sweatshirt, sneakers, yoga mat, and vibrating foam roller. I will seriously talk to anybody who wants to chat about Italic because I love it so much.

    Feedback

    I only have 2 pieces of feedback: - shipping times really vary. sometimes I receive items 2 days after placing my order, sometimes it's 3 weeks. - items can be out of stock for long periods of time so hard to plan around this + the above shipping times for gifts

  • Quality items without the luxury pricetag. I bought a lamb leather jacket, bedding, knives, and candles from Italic - all were great with minor clothing detailing. I'd recommend Italic if you're looking for something nice and unique.

  • Great for elevated essentials, think quince but more design forward. They have a member service for further discounted items that pays for itself instantly

  • Wide variety of products from brand name factories with generic labels. The leather bags and backpacks were generally pretty great and mixed a business casual and elegant styling plus quality without the crazy price tag.

  • Quality is good but I feel like the selection of items has declined in the last year.

  • I had an Italic membership for two years, and got many home, clothing, and skincare items from them. BUT there was a serious drop off in the quality of their fabric goods in the last six months or so. I cancelled my membership because of it. Their home goods are still a pretty solid pick, and I haven’t had any issues with them. I’ve even given some as gifts. The skincare is decent, but a bit basic. The minimal packaging makes it great for guest bathrooms though, it looks sophisticated and you can refill it with practically anything.

  • Mostly great products at a great price, but occasionally hit or miss or deceiving photos/scale.

  • Overall, I love the concept of italic. I have purchased many products from them, and like the subscription service which ultimately does give me a discounted price as opposed to someone who is seasonally looking at italic for products. They are generally very luxurious without the high markup and overall there are varieties of clothing, jewelry, travel accessories, and home goods. I bought a beautiful lab grown diamond ring recently and it is comparable to some of the competitors. As described, it was lab grown but I would've mistaken it as natural diamond anyway.

    Feedback

    I think it is well worth it to have these products that are manufactured from the same factories of the worlds demanded goods.

  • I've had some hits and misses with Italic. The housewares items I have are fire. I bought a chefs knife, some candles, and reed diffusers and feel like they are all such great quality and will last a long time. I have also bought a couple apparel items and feel like those are falling a bit short of expectations. A lot of people rave about the sweatpants and I got a pair, and in a few months they are pilling like crazy. I also bought a basic cropped t-shirt and the fabric snagged really easily. I'm not sure I'll buy clothes again from there, but I'd be open to buying more houseware items.

    Feedback

    The prices are very reasonable, but definitely do some research on the fabrics, materials, etc before committing to items as some are worth it, but others seem not as good of quality.
