Himi haul 1.2

Himi review 1.2

Hello guys! Today we'll continue with the Himihaul review, 
This time I will be reviewing this gorgeous (imitation?) Bonbon21 jacket with embroidery on it. It can be used in various fashion styles and fits well in daily wear as well.

 It sells for $59,99 + free shipping and comes in the sizes small and medium, and in the colours violet and blue. I received this jacket in the size S and in violet. The measurements matches the measurements stated on the website. 

From left to right: Bust, waist, shoulder?(Please correct me if I'm wrong), jacket length. 
There's no big difference between the two sizes, in my opinion. 

❤Quality❤

I mainly got curious of the material choice because there was no information about it in the description box. The fabric has a silky feel, but it would be impossible for it to be real silk for such a low-ish price. 

Later on I found out the jacket is made from a fabric called 'acetate'. It is a synthetic which resembles silk although its not a very strong fiber. It does not absorb moisture easily but it does dry very quickly and it is resistent to shrinking. 

The jacket cannot be washed in a machine. It is recommended to dryclean/handwash this jacket and airdry it because the fiber can be damaged by twisting, wringing and heat. 

Alcohol can also melt acetate, so keep things like parfume and other things that contain alcohol.
Aside from that the embroidery is well done, there were a few loose threads here and there, but it was no big deal since it did not affect the entire embroidery. 

In overall, I hoped the jacket would be made from cotton. But I am satisfied with this choice of fabric too.

❤Shipping❤

As stated in the previous review,
The shipping took approx 20 days to ship from China to the Netherlands, which is just the average shipping time in my experience. The products arrived packed nicely in a bubble wrap bag and every invidual item was packed in a plastic bag for extra protection. The flat rate is $8, which is affordable and incedibly cheap compared to the shopping services on Taobao. 

❤Communication❤

As stated in previous review,
I am incredibly satisfied with Himi's communication. The replies are mostly within 24 hours, they are very friendly and helpful and kept me up to date about the shipping information.

Aside from that, I am glad Himi keeps in touch with me once in a 
while for updates. They are very friendly and patient. Kudos 
to that! 

Thank you for reading my review, I hope it was helpful and have a great day!(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و
