Very disappointed. The item looks nothing like the pictures on the website. The print is blurry, low quality, and the colors are dull compared to the photos. Definitely not what I expected.

I purchased what were supposed to be trout themed slipper socks. They appeared woolen on the website. What arrived were nothing as pictured. Lame details on very thin ankle socks terrible. I tried to upload the second picture that I submitted of what actually came in but it is not appearing on my site jabber review.Would give minus 10 if there was such a rating.

Tolle Uhr

Ich habe mich in diese Uhr verliebt. Ganz besonders in das rote Armband. Sieht richtig gut aus. Dazu kommt noch der sagenhafte Preis. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt.

The items received did not match the photos (were too short -- unless the models are under 4 feet tall), and the fabric was cheap polyester and not the promised cotton. I asked for a return which is supposed to be responded to in 1 to 2 business days. Over 2 weeks later they said I could return the shirts to China at my expense and that they would give me 50% of the price in store credit? Store credit is no good to me because I doubt anything from their store is any good. I want my money refunded, not store credit. UPDATE: I complained again and now they are offering to refund 60% of the purchase price back to the credit card, and I don't have to return the shirts to China.

Would give this company a zero if possible. Dress styles & descriptions are stylish and on trend so I took a chance, thinking this company was a more stylish alternative to JJ'sHouse and Azazie. Ordered a standard size dress on July 26th for an out of town wedding on August 22. After payment processed, find out the dress must be customized, even though selected a std size. Email responses from LITB arrive only once within 24 hours so the order is delayed over 4+ days. No actual customer svc or phone support to correct their measurements. Gave up due to the slow back & forth wait for email reply. Requested to cancel & refund as their delays means dress now unlikely to arrive in time for event. Told nope, no can do. Requested an expedited shipping option, willing to pay for it except no such option exists, only US Post Office regular shipping. So, dress that doesn't fit arrives on August 21st, too late to be pressed or tailored for event. Useless. Week long customer service email with an unhelpful company agent to no avail. Won't refund dress & won't send shipping label to return unopened jewelry. Lesson learned... saw the same dress available through Amazon with legitimate return policy. Protect yourself from this scam company.

Great product
August 26, 2025

The t-shirts are exactly as described and really fine quality, the print is fine as well. For me, ordering from Germany delivery time was longer than I am used from other textile providers - but overall I would buy again!

Women's Maxi Dress Paisley
August 20, 2025

The dress is as shown in the picture. The fabric seems to be good and the size quite in accordance with the size guide and thus a perfect fit. I am satisfied with the quality and the price of the dress and have already placed an order for another one!

Ich habe 2 Leinenhosen bestellt und die Lieferung auch zeitnah erhalten. Alle stimmte, die Farben, die Maße, die Länge nur waren z. B. die Nähte der Taschen innen nicht komplett und wurden vor Ort nachgenäht. Es war nicht sichtbar daher kein Problem für mich aber ich pflege ehrliche Antworten zu geben.

No user guide
August 15, 2025

When i buy lamps or machines, most times there is no user guide. That makes it difficult to use them.
