Hello there, Michelle! We are awfully sorry for the trouble you have gone through on our watch. We believe you should get justice and deserve a generous compensation for the unfortunate experience you've had with us. We have sent you a request via Trustpilot for your email and order number. Once we receive these two, we'll immediately send you a follow-up email. We are looking forward to hearing back from you again soon! Wishing you a pleasant rest of the evening!

DO NOT ORDER!!!!
I placed an order on January 4 for a pair of boots and a hat. I had not received any communication regarding delays or shipping issues. I reached out to them 01/27, 02/07, & 02/27. They gave me the same cookie cutter apology regarding manufacturer delays so I agreed to exercise a little more patience. On 02/28 I got a tracking email with tracking info attached. It is now 03/14 and not only did I not receive my package, the tracking info is not valid. They have stopped answering my emails and refuse to engage on social media. I ended up disputing the charges with my bank and here we are.

Hi Tierra,
Thank you sending us your honest opinions and sentiments about souk + SEPIA. We think your frustration is absolutely valid. At the same time, we want to express our sincerest regrets for ultimately letting you down with the problems in shipping.
If it gives you comfort to know, even before the beginning of 2022, souk + SEPIA had been working to minimize and eventually eradicate the shipping issues. We are doing this by carefully picking which merchants we will retain or remove from our merchant roster.
So far, this method have proven effective yet not with the results we are expecting as shipping issues still continue to haunt our customers from time to time. We've also been looking for quicker shipping partners in the past few months as we understand how much these issues are hurting our relations with our customers who had been nothing but patient with us throughout the process.
We hope to be worthy of your love and support and will continue in pursuit of excellence to make everybody happy. There was no need to dispute the charges as a representative of ours had processed a refund for you.
We hope this helps! Should you require further assistance or have questions or concerns, you're always free to send an email to our Gratitude Team and it would be a pleasure for us to provide assistance to you.

Disappointed and Disgusted.
*Edit* I was required to provide additional information about my orders. This review is based on past orders that have already been resolved however unfavorably. Any response will not restore my trust in this company as much as I would like to shop with them again. They'd have to do things a lot differently going forward.* Disappointed and Disgusted.
I have hesitated for months in writing this review, but I feel it necessary to caution others about ordering from Souk + Sepia.
I have ordered several times from this online marketplace. The first couple of times were great, merchandise I received was beautiful. Although the shipping was slow, the wait time was still within the acceptable range. The last two times, not so much. I waited a month and half and sent two emails, which they responded to, but in the most vague language and plenty of platitudes and apologies. One item I was informed the manufacturer was no longer even making yet I see that item is still up on their website. That is downright dishonest! Also I was offered 20% discounts as most of these reviews state. Now why would I risk losing my money and patience by shopping with them again?
Additionally, with all the poor reviews on Trust Pilot I don't understand why I can't find a single honest review on their Instagram page. They have disabled the ability to leave a comment. Not that I had planned to leave a comment but I have taken note of it.
This company is not a boutique with items on hand, but they do "drop shipping" which seems to be the problem here. That is why our orders are disrespectfully late in getting shipped to us if at all.
Buyer beware: all these poor ratings tell the story. I am so disappointed because I wanted to make Souk + Sepia my go-to.

Hi Crystal,
Simply expressing our apologies won't take back the inconvenience that has been brought upon you. As a fellow online shopper, the frustration of not receiving something you had paid for is all too familiar and I know how much it can demoralize you from supporting a business any further.
We take your sentiments seriously, by heart and are fully aware of how our manner of shipping has affected our relationship with our customers. We know how much this has hurt our business and to stay in business, we know something needs to be done quick. In fact, we have been looking to change our shipping provider to have a quicker delivery time for our customers. The past few months, we have been in the process of reevaluating our partners and a big change will happen fairly soon.
Filtering the comments in Instagram would be natural as most negative comments include profane language and slurs that we do not dare to tolerate. I hope you understand that it's imperative for us to filter out such harsh comments and we feel morally required to do it in order to keep people from feeling offended.
I hope this helps. You may not have had a proper memory with us, but we sure will use this experience as a tool to make ourselves better. I hope one day you'll be around to give us a chance once we have sorted out our main problem: shipping. We admit that it's a matter which requires an urgent solution which should be ready in the next few months.
We owe you justice and we hope to pay our debts back to you. Please don't hesitate to write us should you have additional suggestions and concerns. May you have a pleasant rest of the evening!

Miss christy P.
Don't order from this company
I placed an order on Jan 12,2022 so I gave it a few weeks so I reached out to the company and she responded back quick and she assured me my item was on the way that was on Feb 3, so March 12 I had to call PayPal to file a claim, I received my refund quick because she couldn't give paypal a tracking number. Do not order from this company.

Hello Christy,
Thank you for openly sharing how your experience went with us. It is indeed a shame that your memory with us has not been as pleasant as expected. We sincerely regret the idea of inflicting trouble on you, so we would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
It could be possible that your item may have been stuck in transit, but we are not certain of that yet. Rest assured, the merchant responsible for shipping out your item will be removed from our merchant roster to avoid more customers experiencing the same thing as you did.
We are glad you received your refund as swiftly as possible. Despite the bitter end of this brief relationship, we want you to know that we never wished for this to happen to you. To be a build a better online shopping experience is what we aim for thousands of our customers.
We greatly appreciate your giving us a chance and if one day you find us worthy of your support, our doors are always open for you.

Don’t order from them
Don’t order from them. You’ll never receive your items and if you forget to follow up, may never receive your money neither.
Ordered on separate occasions as I really wanted to give them a chance . Both time the experience was horrible. They have no type of communication and took forever to refund
Response from souk + SEPIAMar 17, 2022
Hello, Tracey! Thank you for writing in and bringing this to our attention. You had given us a second chance to redeem ourselves but it seems that we blew it. We're awfully sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. When we see our customers dissatisfied with our services, we make it so they have a better experience or at least compensate them for the trouble. It would be a great pleasure to us to do something good for you. You can help us make that happen by sending us your order number with your email address so our Gratitude Team can reach out to you and provide all the necessary compensations for you. We intend to make your experience a little better. Looking forward to your reply in our request here.

Loss It’s Luster
The first few orders were perfect. However, the last two didn’t appeaR to have the same quality material and detail. Sadly they were all final order, the pants were tagged as medium but were undoubtedly a small. The code I received to get a discount due to a delayed ordered a few months back wasn’t acceptable when I tried to use it. I’m very disappointed and now hesitant to purchase any other items.
Response from souk + SEPIAMar 15, 2022
Hi Mary,
Thank you for openly sharing your sentiments here in Trustpilot. Although we are saddened over the fact that we have fallen short in impressing you this time, we are grateful for the chance to communicate with you and have both sides understand each other better.
I believe the reason our system was rejecting the discount code is because it was applied on a Final Sale purchase. Final Sale items are already heavily discounted pieces and that's why regular discount codes do not apply to it, but we are 100% sure the code will apply on regular priced items.
We suggest trying on the code without finalizing the checkout so you may see for yourself if it indeed works. Just to be sure, we can check the code you have and see if it's still valid since you had mentioned it was awarded a few months back.
We'd also like to add extra credits for you as a way of extending our apologies for the ill-fitting pants you had received. We will be sending you a follow-up email regarding this. We are looking forward to communicating with you. May you be safe wherever you are.

Ms Q.
This is the WORST COMPANY EVER!!!
This is the WORST COMPANY EVER!!!! I would give 0 stars if I could. The shipping is RIDICULOUS! I placed an order on Jan 8th and am STILL WAITING on an Item. When I reach out to customer service all I get is responses filled with excuses about how items are shipping from Asia, still being processed, and please be patient. Today is March 7 and it has been 2 months, 2 WHOLE MONTHS, 60 DAYS since I placed my order for the blue Soyo Woman Top. The company's latest response was the item was on its way to the USPS facility for delivery. I can never get any specific detail on where the item is coming from or why it has been delayed. The shirt will be out of season if I EVER receive it. They offered me a $25 gift card (which I will never use) and blathered on about how customer service was a priority. My daughter gave me a $200 gift card to shop here and it's the WORST COMPANY I've ever shopped with. The clothes are unique for sure but the shipping and delivery is unacceptable. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY SHOPPING WITH SOUK&SEPIA. YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED!!
Souk&Sepia, I don't want your well wishes of peace, love, joy, light or ANY OF the other platitudes you extend with your excuses for your horrible customer service and ridiculous shipping delays. I WANT THE ITEM I PAID FOR!!!
Update: 3/14/22
I did receive a refund for the item that is “still processing” since January. UNFORTUNATELY I received a gift card for Christmas and used it for my order. The refund was placed back on the gift card so I did begrudgingly place an order equal to that small amount to give the gift card a zero balance. Not surprised at all that The $25 gift card code offered to me by the company didn’t even work. 🙄🙄🙄

Hi Katrina,
Thank you for writing in! Waiting more than you should for something that's already paid for is understandably, one of the things that can throw someone's mood off. I just want you to know that we completely understand these emotions.
After all, it is THAT frustrating and no customer in a healthy world of online shopping should suffer what you had suffered. For these inconveniences, we extend our sincerest apologies.
We never meant you no harm of this sort and you have every right to call us out for the trouble. There may have been inventory issues for the Soyo top you had ordered. We are still trying to investigate on the matter and get the merchant's side.
Nonetheless, it has been refunded even when it's still processing. There's a chance you may still receive it despite the refund, so if you do, please just keep it as an additional compensation. We are sorry for wasting your time and energy. We see you had ordered a second time despite this incident, and we will do everything we can to give you a better memory with us.
