“For me, loststock was less about the clothes & more about the ethos behind it - supporting a garment worker’s family during the pandemic after orders by big brands were cancelled.
Yes, it did take a bit longer than the 6-8 weeks for my parcel to arrive. But considering what the team were trying to do, in very challenging circumstances, I’m ok with that.
Yes, I might have to wait till it’s a bit warmer before wearing the items as they were in the spring/summer collection but that’s OK too as I have something to look forward to! & as I’m currently still working from home, there’s a LOT of my wardrobe I haven’t worn over the last few months.
I was pleasantly surprised by the items too - a couple were not ones I would have picked out myself but they look alright when I tried them on.
Would I buy another box? Probably, because it’s about supporting garment workers & preventing perfectly good clothes from going to landfill.
What really needs to be addressed is the fact loststock exists at all. Fashion brands should have closer links to their supply chains; pay the makers of their clothes a fair wage; & we as consumers should be making better choices about where we buy our clothes from. Say no to fast fashion.”
“Really enjoyed the whole experience. Slick purchasing experience. Excitement of receiving my first box. I've bought again as it takes the pain out of shopping and adds a sprinkle of excitement to it! Highly recommend.”
“Ordered a box for my daughter, we did have to wait a while but she was really delighted with the clothes! A great way to help struggling garment workers and an added bonus of lovely kids clothes.”
“My husband's parcel was returned to Lockstock as we had spent summer abroad. Lockstock contacted me to confirm it was still wanted and dispatched it within two days - 5 lovely cotton Ts and a casual shirt - excellent service and a lovely surprise. Thank you & well done on a really worthwhile project.”
“Ok yes it was a big wait. But the clothes arrived for my son, they’re great quality and absolutely lovely. Sizing is perfect. If you wanna order and you’re worried about timing go a size up if it’s for kids.”
“I was ordering from the winter collection. I asked for dark and plain. The “goods” all wrapped in evil plastic eventually arrived today. What did I get? Very poor quality PINK FRILLY blouses! OMG. Not fit for the Oxfam”
“Lovely clothes for my daughter! So pleased we could help someone with this purchase. I knew I had to be patient with delivery so just ordered size up. Thank you!”
“We may have waited a while.. but my three parcels arrived today!
A lovely selection of good quality clothes for my three ‘borrowed’ children to enjoy!
Thank you!”
“Very pleased with the garments I received. Simple ordering process, lots of communication to reassure you of the tracking of your parcel and a very great cause, providing vital support to impacted families. Well done Lost Stock!”
“I haven't received my order yet but would like to say how helpful and professional the team at Lost Stock have been when helping me with a couple of difficulties.
I was delighted to get an immediate response ( not just the automated reply ) several times when I emailed them.”
“It's a great cause, they were very open about the whole process and I got 3 lovely tops. Don't expect this to be like another online store. They built the whole thing during a pandemic to help people.”
“Love the concept of Lost Stock - I really liked 2 out of the 3 items I got and the slip dress is something I never would have chosen but has been a bright addition to my wardrobe.
I think it took 10 or so weeks to get to me but I was happy to wait as I appreciate the challenge they must have had setting this business up during a pandemic.
My A/W box is on its way and I can't wait to see what I get this time!”
