My Take on GAMBETTES BOX: Are These Finally Quality Tights?

Like me, are you eagerly awaiting autumn to put on your lovely skirts and dresses with tights? If so, you must also face 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 allows you to receive two new pairs of tights delivered to your home every month. Of course, I tried out this box, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on it!

What is Gambettes Box?

💖 I Loved It

• Never run out of tights again!
• The durability of the tights received,
• The selection: they are easy to match,
• The brand's commitments to eco-friendliness,
• The value for money,
• The option to pause the box over the summer.

❌ I Liked It Less

• The customer service response time was a bit long for an inquiry,
• No beachwear (summer box) available in sizes larger than 42, even though the leggings fit size 46 quite well.

How Does Gambette Box Work?

Gambettes Box is a French subscription service that delivers two pairs of tights or swimwear (from June to August) right to your door every month. It’s a no-commitment subscription, which you can cancel at any time. Plus, shipping is free.

Are these tights of good quality?

Having received several boxes, I noticed that most of the tights were of much higher quality than those available in the grocery store, for example.

The tights from Gambettes Box are designed in Paris and manufactured in Italy, ensuring that customers receive a quality and durable finished product. The goal is to prevent throwing away dozens of pairs of tights each year.

What sizes does Gambettes Box offer?

Leggings are available in sizes S to XL. Specifically, this corresponds to:

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

To help you determine your size, here is the reference size chart 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 shipped between the 27th of the previous month and the 2nd of the current month,
• Via Asendia: you will receive your tights during the first or second week of the current month.

Will I receive any tights during the summer too? 🌞

Gambettes Box has thought of everything and is offering you a selection of beachwear from June to August.

What is it about?

The term beachwear literally means "beach clothing". It refers to outfits that are worn in the summer, during vacation. In the Gambette box, this includes items such as:

• light and colorful playsuits,
• short dresses in summer colours,
• swimsuits,
• light skirts,
• pareos, ...

How do Gambette Box summer outfits fit?

Here too, sizes range from small to extra-large, which corresponds to clothing sizes 34-36 to 42.

What if I don’t want beachwear this summer?

In this case, you can put your box on hold for that duration. This is particularly useful if, like me, the sizes offered aren't suitable for your body type.

What Are Gambettes Box's Commitments?

Gambette Box is a French start-up that proudly showcases its values! This is one of the key factors that truly convinced me to try this subscription, in addition to its practical benefits.

🔸 Healthy Materials for You and the Planet

The production of tights isn't the most eco-friendly process. Often delicate and disposed of quickly, traditional tights have a high carbon footprint due to the many chemicals involved in their manufacturing.

But that’s no reason to stop wearing skirts or dresses, as Gambettes Box offers an alternative. The brand provides tights made from leftover threads, helping to reduce waste. These are made from less polluting materials:

🔸 In the summer, sustainable and eco-friendly beachwear

The clothing offered in the summer is designed to have a minimal carbon footprint and to preserve your health.

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

🚿 The viscose used in the production of the other garments uses 50% less water than conventional viscose. It is also recyclable and biodegradable. The forests used to produce it are sustainably managed, and the producers are fairly compensated.

🚢 These materials arrive by ship rather than by air, which significantly reduces their environmental impact.

🔸 Eco-friendly Packaging

After conducting surveys, the brand found that a significant portion of what it sent to its subscribers was quickly discarded (the cardboard, the enclosed leaflet, etc.). As a result, it took steps to reduce the pollution caused by its packaging.

🔸 The Fight Against Street Harassment

Finally, with the program "Free your legs", Gambettes box is actively fighting against street harassment, which affects nearly 80% of women. Their approach is clever: in partnership with the organization "Stop Street Harassment", the brand has installed mirrors at leg height in Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburg, encouraging women to take photos of themselves 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 organization Stop Street Harassment.

How to Subscribe?

The easiest way is to go directly to the Gambettes Box website. If the window doesn’t immediately display a “Subscribe” button, you can find it in the left-hand menu on the page. Once you click on “Subscribe”, you will have access to a “Create Account” menu that will allow you to enter your information to sign up. You will also need to save your delivery and payment information.

👉 If you've ever 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 ranging from 40 to 100 kilograms and heights between 1.50 to 1.85 metres.

Let's move on to a quick survey:

• Do you wear skirts or dresses 3 times a week or more?
• Do you regularly find yourself snagging your pantyhose?
• Do you feel like you’re constantly buying new tights?
• Do you find the ones sold in stores too plain and would you like a bit of originality in the patterns?
• Are you committed to purchasing solid and eco-friendly products?

👉 If, like me, you answered a big YES to several of these questions, I highly recommend you try Gambettes box! It's a subscription service that I am truly excited about, and it has transformed the way I dress every day!

This is a reliable French company based in Paris:

My Verdict on the Gambettes Box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a true fan of dresses and skirts, I didn't hesitate long to give Gambettes Box's concept a try when I heard about it. Every winter, I buy a lot of tights, whether in supermarkets or clothing stores. And I go through them quickly!

I found the subscription process to be very straightforward. I appreciated that there is only one price and no commitment: this makes the subscription very simple and convenient.

My First Gambettes Box - September 2021

When it comes to quality, I am really happy with most of the tights I've received. Some of the thinner styles (20 denier weave) tend to snag a bit quickly, but that’s typical for this type of very delicate tights.

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

Gambettes Box - January 2022

The only aspect I'm not as satisfied with is the summer box offering, which includes beachwear. Since I wear a size 46, the clothing included just doesn't fit me. In fact, the maximum size is 42 (or 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 polite but negative response. It's really unfortunate! As a result, I have to put my box on pause for the summer... Fortunately, this option is available!

✅ In summary, I definitely recommend the Gambettes subscription box for its practicality and originality. The tights are easy to match with everyday outfits, durable, and ethically made. The summer beachwear collection looks great, but it's only available up to size 42-44, which is really disappointing.
