My Thoughts on GAMBETTES BOX: Quality Tights at Last?

Like me, are you eagerly awaiting autumn to bring out your lovely skirts and dresses with tights? If so, you must also be familiar with the challenge of finding tights that are both stylish, comfortable, and durable for the winter season.

Just over a year ago, after wearing hundreds of pairs of tights in my life, I discovered the Gambettes box. This unique and super convenient subscription delivers two new pairs of tights to your door each month. Of course, I have tried out this box and I’ll share my thoughts on it with you!

What is Gambettes Box?

💖 I Loved It

• Never run out of tights again!
• The durability of the tights received,
• The variety: they are easy to pair,
• The brand's commitment to eco-friendliness,
• The value for money,
• The option to pause the subscription during summer.

❌ I liked it less

• The customer service response took a bit too long for an inquiry,
• No beachwear (summer box) available beyond size 42 even though the tights fit perfectly for size 46.

How Does Gambette Box Work?

Gambettes Box is a French subscription box that allows you to receive two pairs of tights or beachwear (from June to August) delivered straight to your door every month. It's a no-obligation subscription, which you can cancel at any time. Delivery is free.

Are these tights of good quality?

Having received several boxes, I've noticed that most of the tights were of far superior quality to those you can buy at the supermarket, for instance.

The tights from Gambettes box are designed in Paris and made in Italy, ensuring that customers receive a high-quality, durable product. The aim is to prevent the disposal of dozens of pairs of tights each year.

What sizes does Gambettes Box offer?

Stockings are available from size S to XL. Specifically, this corresponds to:

• A weight of between 40 and 100 kg,
• A height of between 1.5m and 1.85m.

To help you find the right size for you, here is the size guide for the Gambettes box:

How often will I receive my Gambette Box?

This is a monthly box. If you are a subscriber, the date you receive your box depends on the delivery method:

• Via Colissimo: the box will be sent between the 27th of the previous month and the 2nd of the current month,
• Via Asendia: you will receive your stockings in the first or second week of the current month.

And in summer, will I also receive tights? 🌞

Gambettes box has thought of everything and offers you a selection of beachwear from June to August.

What is it about?

The term beachwear literally means "beach clothes". It refers to outfits to wear in summer, during holidays. In the Gambette box, this includes items such as:

• light and colourful jumpers,
• short dresses in summer hues,
• swimwear,
• light skirts,
• sarongs, ...

How do Gambette Box summer outfits fit?

Here, the sizes range from Small to Extra Large, which corresponds to clothing sizes from 8-10 to 14.

What if I don’t want beachwear this summer?

In this case, you can pause your box for that period. This is especially helpful if, like me, the sizes offered don't quite fit your shape.

What commitments does Gambettes Box have?

Gambette box is a French start-up that boldly promotes its values! This is one of the key reasons that truly convinced me to give this subscription a go, beyond its practicality.

🔸 Healthy and Eco-Friendly Materials

Making tights isn't the most eco-friendly process. Often fragile and quickly discarded, traditional tights come with a high carbon footprint due to the many chemicals involved in their production.

But that's no reason to stop wearing skirts or dresses, as Gambettes Box offers an alternative. The brand offers tights made from fabric offcuts, helping to reduce waste. These materials are less harmful to the environment:

🔸 In summer, choose sustainable and eco-friendly beachwear

The summer clothing on offer is designed to have a minimal carbon footprint and to protect your health.

♻️ Cotton is 100% biodegradable and grown using organic farming practices. Its production uses ten times less water compared to conventional cotton.

🚿 The viscose used to make the rest of the clothing uses 50% less water than traditional viscose. It is also recyclable and biodegradable. The forests used to produce it are sustainably managed, and the producers are paid fairly.

🚢 These materials arrive by ship rather than by plane, so their environmental impact is significantly lower.

🔸 Eco-friendly Packaging

After conducting surveys, the brand discovered that a significant portion of what it sent to its subscribers was quickly discarded (cardboard, enclosed brochures, etc.). It has therefore taken steps to reduce the waste generated by its packaging.

🔸 The Fight Against Street Harassment

Finally, with the "Free your legs" programme, Gambettes box is actively fighting against street harassment, which affects nearly 80% of women. Their initiative is clever: in partnership with the "Stop Street Harassment" organisation, the brand has installed knee-height mirrors in Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburg to encourage women to take photos and proudly showcase their legs.

For every photo shared with the #freeyourlegs hashtag on social media, Gambettes Box has committed to donating €3 to the organisation Stop Harcèlement de Rue.

How to Subscribe?

The easiest way is to head directly to the Gambettes Box website. If the window doesn't immediately show you a "Subscribe" button, you can find it in the menu on the left side of the page. Once you click on "Subscribe", you'll be directed to a "Create Account" menu where you can enter your details to sign up. You'll also need to provide your delivery and payment information.

👉 If you’ve previously subscribed to Gambettes box, even if it was a while ago, you can reuse your login details to sign in directly. 😉

Is the Gambettes Box Right for You?

This unique box aims to be inclusive: it is accessible to a large majority of women when it comes to tights, as it offers all sizes between 40 and 100 kilograms and heights ranging from 1.50 metres to 1.85 metres.

Now let's move on to a quick questionnaire:

• Do you wear skirts or dresses three times a week or more?
• Do you often find yourself snagging your tights?
• Do you feel like you're constantly buying new tights?
• Do you think the ones sold in stores are too plain and would you like some unique patterns?
• Are you committed to buying sustainable and eco-friendly products?

👉 If you, like me, answered a resounding YES to many of these questions, I highly recommend you give Gambettes box a go! It's a subscription service that I'm truly thrilled about, and it has transformed the way I dress every day!

My Verdict on the Gambettes Box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a true fan of dresses and skirts, I didn't think twice about trying out the concept offered by Gambettes Box when I heard about it. Every winter, I buy a lot of tights, whether from supermarkets or clothing stores. And I wear them quite a bit!

I found the subscription process very straightforward. I liked that there was just a single price and no commitment: this makes the subscription really simple and convenient.

My first Gambettes box - September 2021

As for the quality, I am really happy with most of the tights I’ve received. Some of the sheer styles (20 denier weave) can snag a bit quickly, but that’s to be expected with such delicate tights.

In the end, for $16.50, I often get two pairs of tights that last me for several months and are truly unique. The brand's commitment to sustainability also won me over, and I'm really pleased to be doing my bit for the planet by ordering fewer pairs of tights!

Gambettes Box - January 2022

The only thing I’m not completely satisfied with is the summer box offering, which includes beachwear. As I wear a size 46, the clothes that are sent don’t fit me well. In fact, the maximum size is a 42 (approximately a small 44)!

I tried to contact Gambettes box to see if it was possible to get a larger size. It took me quite a while (over a week) to receive a friendly but negative response. It's a real shame! As a result, I have to pause my box in summer... Fortunately, this option is available!

✅ In summary, I highly recommend the Gambettes box for its ultra-convenient and original style. The tights are easy to match with everyday outfits, durable, and ethical. The summer beachwear range looks great, but it only goes up to size 42-44, which is quite disappointing.
