Lily and Catherine run a great storefront called SYNDROME on Storenvy. Their prices overall are very reasonable (their shipping prices are amazing considering the product ships directly from China) and Lily is on point in regards to customer service. They're also pretty flexible with shifting your orders on short notice as well!

I had to pseudo-cancel an order before plans fell through and they allowed me to pick my order back up with no qualms. Definitely looking forward to spoiling myself at their store with my next paycheck, haha. (●´∀｀●)

SHIPPING: If you're used to eBay shipping from China then there will be no difference. I live in California, so it takes roughly one week to a week and a half for my orders to arrive. Fortunately Syndrome Store does offer express shipping options, if I remember correctly. However, I asked Lily if the shop has a combined shipping option—Which is a no-go, with good reason. Basically she explained it as: they get their items from different manufacturers and things get sort of messy/confusing if they did combined shipping. Still, their shipping charges as a whole are well within a good price range! We're talking about a $5.00USD-$10.00USD shipping charge, and that's putting it roughly.

QUALITY: So far, so great. I've ordered a wig and a sweater from them, and I'm already gearing up my next cart! Wig-wise, as far as I can tell Rinnie Riot/Catherine actually models and posts pictures of some of the wigs herself? Which is nice, so you're not gauging quality off some stock image. Anyway, I wanted to start simple so I bought the long, straight black wig as my first weave. It's very nice and easy to maintain! Their wig prices (including shipping) is what drew me to the store in the first place.. I'm already looking to get one of their purple wigs in the future!

And that's it for now. I just bought the wig as my first purchase, and Lily tells me that  my second item has also shipped! So I'll be reviewing the Fire Sweater from their store soon. So far, I'm very happy with my purchases. Now go give Syndrome Store a look-see if you happen to like "sweet and dark apparel"!

QUALITY: I was just a tad bit disappointed to find out it was different from the stock picture. I thought it would be all black, but instead I've received one with a brown trim. The bag itself is surprisingly soft? The canvas isn't too rough, but still sturdy enough to hold all of my things and possibly more. The brown PU (?) is perpetually shiny, ahaha. It's soft as well and doesn't stick and drag on my skin so to say, it's perfect! 

I'm a little worried it'll fall apart once my departure date arrives, because the back straps weren't attached for some reason? So I just put the straps through the plastic thing and now I'm hoping for the best. Other than that, it came with the dreaded factory odor... But nothing a little sunshine and airing out won't fix. Thankfully I had some Febreeze and strong perfume to help speed up the deodorizing ordeal.

Still, I love this bag! Worth the wait and the purchase. 

SHIPPING: As I mentioned before the shop offers free shipping with tracking numbers. The packaging is a bit worrying at first, I nearly thought it was damaged through the whole shipping process since it was just smashed into my mailbox! Thankfully the backpack isn't something straight and you can roll it up if need be. Still, it was nice to see the seller wrapped it well and it arrived without any cuts or dings.

 Overall I would definitely recommend MaiBoutique on Storenvy! I would buy more from their wide selection if I had enough time on my hands to wait, haha. Maybe next time once school is over and I move back to California.  (‘∀’●)
