Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[Sherr]

Quarterly sent out an email with a spoiler … I was just adding some background information /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ahh I get it now, sorry. But still not happy with this spoiler. I feel like she's just thrown the towel in and isn't involved anymore. I guess it's useful, but for me personally I don't use clutches and have a million travel chargers already. Seems like a lame spoiler, I'm officially done with this box between the shipping problems and hit or miss stuff. It should be called Nina Garcia bi-yearly.

This is what I worry about. I feel like Quarterly is just using the Nina Garcia name to sell boxes but she has long since exited from the curation process. I can't tell.

Especially because she was SO into it for the first two with tweets and posts and instagrams... Now... nothing.

yeah, I'm not 100% sure she would PICK this item.  Seems unlikely.  But maybe if the rest of the box is filled w/ items and needed another option that was presented to her and she agreed? I LOVED her first box.  and the next few.  Arianna seems so much more involved in hers.

I would throw the clutch in my bag and use it when I'm just running downstairs for a coffee at work, but some of the colors are reaaaaaaallly not my style.  There are about 4 that are workable for me and the rest I wouldn't use.  I am also a little worried because there have been times I have used one of these chargers and then my phone was wonky afterwards.  I SWEAR that ever since I took the halo charger from the PSMH QVC box with me on a trip, my iPhone loses the last 10% of charge super fast.  It could be a coincidence, but it started happening right after using the charger for the first time.  Have you guys had similar experiences with using non-apple products to charge your iphone?

THIS! UGH! Yes! I started using a portable charger that was given to me by work a few months ago and now my iphone dies on me right after I get the 20% low battery warning! It's horrible! 

Also, a side note...I was traveling this last week and saw some of these in a few boutiques I was shopping in. They were not the same brand, but what I remember about them is how heavy they were! I personally would much rather carry a smaller, lighter version in my own clutch than use one of these.

 

[MoiSurtout]

I've been with this sub since box #2, and I've loved all the boxes, but I decided to cancel. I'm paranoid about using chargers that aren't Apple-approved. 

But mostly it's the fact that there are only two boxes this year, and I can very likely buy it on Best of Quarterly if I feel like I missed out. I'd have stayed if Nina had seemed excited about it the way Bianca Jade and some others seem to be. 

 

[Saffyra]

That's crazy about the iPhones! I'm so glad that hasn't happened to my Galaxy. And the HISY we got in the FFF box charges my phone right up so fast! Do you think Apple makes that happen on purpose so people will only buy apple products? That seems shady :\ Although, I don't really know how that all works anyway.

 

[lauradiniwilk]

Probably.  I also had a non-apple car charger and it got insanely hot and fried the charger thing in my car so nothing works in it now.  THANKS, APPLE. 

 

[Sherr]

Ugh, these delays!  I think they should give a bonus item to everyone who has been patient enough to still stick around ………….

 

[lauradiniwilk]

Checked quarterly's twitter feed for updates...two days ago they said they will be shipping next week.

has anyone been charged yet? it's usually 1 week after then.  losing patience very quickly.

Haven't been charged or heard anything.  Finding this pretty ridiculous.  I will probably cancel after this box, if it underwhelms me (as I suspect it will)

Please God, not that yellow scarf /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I got the yellow shark pouch in one of her boxes, HATED it.

 

[Saffyra]

Finally!! Although I do feel like this will be my last one and then I'll just get them in the Best Of's.
