Zaful Haul and Review
Thanks to the limitless possibilities of online shopping, the internet is filled with affordable and fashionable websites that can revamp our closets with the simple click of a button. From Shopstyle's runway-inspired couture to Dailylook's personalized stye boxes, there is a remedy sure to fulfill every fashionista’s needs.
Recently, I have heard a lot about Zaful – an online clothing store that features affordable dupes of high-fashion trends. According to the brand’s vision, Zaful strives to “provide the very latest in compelling designs for the fashionably hip,” promising high quality, value and speedy customer service.
In the past few months, the site has upped its presence on social media platforms, especially Instagram, marketing its apparel and boosting its brand image. After doing some research, it became clear that people had very mixed feelings about this online store. While some raved about the insanely low-prices and variety of items available, others scrutinized the site for selling low-quality clothing that took way too long to ship. Skeptical about this brand, I decided the only way to come to any sort of conclusion was to place an order and share my thoughts.
Here is my experience:
I placed my order on March 24th and received my package on March 28th, just as the site promised. Each item was individually wrapped and folded and nothing appeared to be missing. Below, I have included the item purchased, a picture of how it is displayed on the website, and a picture with me wearing the item. I also include the size and price I ordered as well as my personal rating for the product (on a scale of 1 to 5, based on my expectations from the site).

Overall thoughts:
To be completely honest, these items exceeded my expectations. Although some of the items were not of the best quality, it was kind of expected considering that they were all priced under twenty bucks.
Most of the clothing fit true to size and I was especially impressed with the high waisted, bandeau bathing suit set. There were a few items that were not the most flattering on me, but that happens with any online clothing shop. So, is this website worth the hype? Although it won’t be my first choice for online shopping, I will definitely utilize it in the future when I am in need of a trendy bathing suit or fun piece of clothing that I don’t want to spend too much money on.
*Other perks about this company include free standard shipping over $30, 10% off after joining the website and 30 days return warranty.
