Mon AVIS sur GAMBETTES BOX : des collants de qualité enfin disponibles ?

Like me, are you eagerly waiting for fall to bring out your lovely skirts and dresses with tights? If so, you probably know the challenge of finding tights that are pretty, comfortable, and durable for the winter season.

Just over a year ago, after navigating through hundreds of pairs of tights in my life, I discovered the Gambettes Box. This unique and incredibly convenient subscription service sends you two new pairs of tights at your home every month. Of course, I had to try 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 commitment to ecology,
• The value for money,
• The option to pause the box in the summer.

❌ What I Liked Less

• The customer service response took a bit long for an inquiry,
• No beachwear (summer box) available above size 42, even though the leggings fit size 46 very well.

How Does Gambette Box Work?

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

Are These Tights High Quality?

Having received several boxes, I noticed that most of the tights were of much higher quality than those you can buy at the supermarket, for example.

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

What sizes does Gambettes Box offer?

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

• A weight of approximately between 88 and 220 pounds,
• A height of between 4 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 1 inch.

To help you find your perfect 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 subscribed, the date you receive your box depends on the shipping method:

• With Colissimo: the box will be shipped between the 27th of the previous month and the 2nd of the current month.
• With Asendia: you will receive your tights during the first or second week of the current month.

Will I also receive tights in the summer? 🌞

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 “clothing for the beach“. It refers to outfits to wear in the summer, during vacations. In the Gambette box, this includes items such as:

• light and colorful jumpsuits,
• short dresses in summer colors,
• swimsuits,
• light skirts,
• wraps, …

How do Gambette Box summer outfits fit?

Here too, the sizes range from Small to Extra Large, which corresponds to clothing sizes 34-36 to 42.

What if I don’t want to wear beachwear in the summer?

In this case, you can pause your subscription box for that duration. This is especially helpful if, like me, the available sizes don’t suit your body type.

What are the commitments of Gambettes Box?

The Gambette Box is a French start-up that boldly stands by its values! This is one of the main reasons that really convinced me to give this subscription a try, aside from its practical aspects.

🔸 Healthy and Eco-Friendly Materials

The production of tights is not the most environmentally friendly process. Often fragile and quickly discarded, traditional tights have a high carbon footprint due to the many chemicals used in their making.

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

🔸 In summer, sustainable and eco-friendly beachwear

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

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

🚿 The viscose used to create the rest of the garments 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 fairly compensated.

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

🔸 Eco-Friendly Packaging

After conducting surveys, the brand found that a significant portion of what it sent to its subscribers was quickly discarded (such as the cardboard and the accompanying flyer…). As a result, it has taken measures to reduce the waste generated 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 innovative: in partnership with the organization “Stop Street Harassment”, the brand has installed knee-height mirrors in Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburg to encourage women to take pictures of themselves and proudly show off their legs.

For each photo shared with #freeyourlegs on social media, Gambettes box has committed to donate €3 to the organization Stop Street Harassment.

How do I subscribe?

The easiest way is to go directly to the Gambettes Box website. If the window does not 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 taken to a “Create Account” menu where you can enter your information to register. You’ll also need to provide your shipping and payment information.

👉 If you’ve ever subscribed to Gambettes box, even if it was a while ago, you can reuse your credentials to log in directly. 😉

Is the Gambettes Box Right for You?

This unique box aims to be inclusive: it is accessible to a wide majority of women when it comes to tights, with all sizes available from 88 to 220 pounds and heights ranging from 4’11” to 6’1″.

Now let’s move on to a short questionnaire:

• Do you wear skirts or dresses three times a week or more?
• Do you frequently run into issues with your tights?
• Do you feel like you’re constantly buying new tights?
• Do you find the ones sold in stores too plain and wish for some originality in the patterns?
• Are you committed to buying sustainable and eco-friendly products?

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

Is Gambettes Box a Scam?

Gambettes Box is a subscription box published by the French company My Little Paris, which also owns My Little Box. This startup has been around since 2008 and launched the tights box in 2012. Since then, it has enjoyed great success, with nearly 60,000 subscribers in 2020 and even more today.

This is a reliable French company based in Paris:

The team consists of 9 women who work hard to meet the needs of their subscribers. The customer service team can be reached by phone, although some customers have complained in reviews about the difficulty of reaching someone. However, it’s also possible to send a message through the contact form on the website or to send an email.

You can also ask a question through social media or leave a review on Trustpilot. The Gambettes Box team regularly responds to these inquiries, especially to provide assistance in case of any issues.

My Verdict on the Gambettes Box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a true fan of dresses and skirts, I didn’t hesitate long to try out the concept offered by Gambettes Box. Every winter, I buy a lot of tights, whether from supermarkets or clothing stores. And I go through them quickly!

I found the subscription process to be very easy. I appreciated that there is just one price and no commitment: this makes the subscription very straightforward 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 expected with such delicate tights.

In the end, for $16.50, I often get two pairs of tights that last for several months and are truly unique. The brand’s commitment to eco-friendliness also won me over, and I’m really happy to make a positive impact on the planet by ordering fewer tights!

Gambettes Box – January 2022

The only aspect I’m less satisfied with is the summer box offering, which includes beachwear. Since I wear a size 18, the clothing sent doesn’t fit me properly. In fact, the largest size available is a 14 (or a small 16)!

I tried to contact Gambettes Box to see if it was possible to get a larger size. It took me a while (more than a week) to receive a friendly but negative response. It’s such a shame! As a result, I have to pause my box during the summer… Fortunately, this option is available!

✅ In summary, I really recommend the Gambettes box for its ultra-convenient and unique qualities. The tights are easy to match with everyday outfits, sturdy, and ethically made. The summer beachwear collection looks great, but it’s only available up to sizes 42-44, which is a real shame.
