I am a therapist who recently leased a new office space. I wanted to purchase some authentic wall art created by a black artist. A friend of mine shared a link for souk and sepia via text. I searched through the website, and came across the “abundance flows freely through me” canvas. I👏🏽Am👏🏽In👏🏽Love👏🏽. I used this picture to compliment the others pieces I purchased to beautify my office space. This wall art completely represents my personality. I’m super satisfied. I wish I could share a picture.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us in a beautifully articulated way! It sends us to cloud nine when our clients say nice things about us and, boy, you got us levitating, honey!

Drop shipped and low quality clothes.
I was so excited to get my clothes only to find that the sweatshirts I ordered are drop shipped. The quality from sizing, print and fabric is horrible and definitely not worth the price.
The dresses have not arrived yet, but like most companies with social media ads, the clothes are all coming from China. In my experience those clothes literally fall apart very quickly.
I will update once I can asses the quality of the remainder of my shipment.
Response from souk + SEPIAApr 27, 2021

Wish I read reviews first
Wish I looked up reviews before I ordered. The pieces are so beautiful online BUT the wait time for receiving your order is unacceptable. I ordered over a week ago and my items have still not shipped. After reading others reviews it’s going to take a hope and a prayer to receive my items by the time I actually ordered them for. *sigh* I hope to be writing another review with better news sooner than later
Response from souk + SEPIAApr 26, 2021
Dear Nikki,
Thank you for leaving us a fair review. It's good to see fairness isn't dead yet. Before anything further, let me just say that I truly understand how frustrating it feels when you are compelled to wait for an order.
It looks like there aren't any problems, though, as your order has already been picked up by USPS's shipping partner as of the 25th of April. We have sent you an email confirmation containing said tracking link.
We feel terrible for making you feel this way. We want to be able to give you a much better memory with us. Apart from the shipping confirmation email, we have sent another one containing a gift code for $50.00 USD.
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to write us back if there's something else you think we can help you with. I hope you have a pleasant rest of the evening.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
It takes way too long to receive your order. Processing time 5-10 days and delivery time 5-25 days after that. I wish I would’ve read that before purchasing. Even still that’s way too long. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!
Response from souk + SEPIAApr 26, 2021
Hi Kwamaysia,
We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any confusion this has caused. The only thing we ever want for our customers is a 100% satisfaction and we're sorry if this hasn't been the case here.
Yes, it is true that our standard shipping timeframe is 25 business days, as stated in our FAQs page https://soukandsepia.com/a/faqs
We need this much time to prepare the items because some of the artisans we work with can come from overseas like UK, Tibet, Thailand and China, namely.
Upon checking, we see that a tracking number has already been provided for your order, just 7 days after your purchase was made. Kindly check your email's inbox for the confirmation.
I hope this has helped! If there's anything else you need help with from us, you can send us an email at [email protected].

Ladies....please read the reviews on…
Ladies....please read the reviews on here. I have purchased a couple of items and tried to give this company a chance but unfortunately I won’t be doing business with them any longer. The clothes are mis sized. The only way I can see anything fitting true to size is if your thin and even then it’s a gamble. I normally shop at places like Express, Free People, Anthropologie etc and compared to these places the clothes are cheaply made. I purchased a dress and being a size 14 woman even a XXL is still snug which lead me on to believe as the other commentators on here done said...CHINA. Speaking of China that may explain why it takes almost a month to get your items. Also I did post a review on their website about this dress so that other's can review and to my surprise they never posted it. Also they leisure wear is made of a silk material. I prefer cotton which is also good for those work out days. Now what I am trying to figure out this company to my knowledge was selling on Etsy but no longer.
