Very cheaply made
Very cheaply made. I tried to button the coat up and both buttons came off. Also not very appealing to the eye in person. Very disappointed and counting this as a loss.
Response from souk + SEPIADec 18, 2020

Received a cheap poorly made shoes $159 which are not constructed well. Took a month to receive from China. Trying to refund and return. Followed steps on their website. Have not received any information on returning the product. No return label or return shipping information. I have sent emails to peace@soukandsepia... ???!!!
Response from souk + SEPIADec 18, 2020

We have partners in Asia, Europe, and even the United States. This means, customers may receive their orders from these areas and China happens to be one of them. This, too, is the reason why we're incessantly working with our partner couriers to mitigate any factors that are now affecting shipping during peak season and the pandemic.
With regards to your concern on refund and return, we'd like the opportunity to investigate your feedback further. If it's not too much to ask could you contact our Customer Service email directly at [email protected] instead? We've gone ahead and notified the team of your feedback and we'll be more than happy to work with you to resolve the issue with your refund and return.

CONSUMER BEWARE
CONSUMER BEWARE! This site states this is a black owned, US based company, BUT I ordered an item almost a month ago and it is not here, only to find out that the item is coming from Hong Kong. If I knew that, I WOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED. They should be more transparent regarding their items. I was excited about this site and ordered the coat for my sister, and was about to order some things for me as well. I also was not able to track the order, and had to reach out to their "customer service" email several times before getting a response. Due to this, this will be my first and only order with souk and sepia, sadly. I would love to support and they have such cute things, but China orders (which take a crazy long time) and not being able to contact an actual human is super frustrating.
Response from souk + SEPIADec 18, 2020
Hi, Jay! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. I'm so sorry for the confusion. To clarify, we are a black-owned, start-up company based out of Newark, NJ, and is, in fact, a member of Ujuu Media - a platform for black-women-owned consumer business & a brand studio of black and brown consumer. souk + SEPIA is a marketplace of gently and lovingly curated fashionable products from around the world. Our partner merchants and artisans are in Asia, Europe, and even the US. This means, our customers may receive their orders in different packages and sometimes from these countries and Hong Kong is just one of them. I'm so sorry you missed that on our FAQs and About Us pages on our site.
We'd like to apologize, too, for the holdup in our response. We must've made you feel ignored there but please know that it's not and will never be our intention - we've just been experiencing a high volume of queries lately due to the peak season and have been working around the clock to cater to each and every one.
We're sad to see you go, Jay but if you have a change of heart and you need help or have additional feedback, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected], and we'll be glad to listen and help. 🙏 :)

So glad I saw these reviews
So glad I saw these reviews. I will not be placing an order...ever.
Looks like long shipping waits even with expedited fees paid, low quality merchandise, it states it is a US based company but the customer still has to wait for products to come from China or the likes.
The outfits are so dope and I would love to have the style of clothing but I’m not gonna risk my money dealing with this company.
Thanks ladies for the heads up! Good looking out!!
Response from souk + SEPIADec 21, 2020
