I bought this garter back in early March. I still adore it but I thought I should post it to this blog for anyone interested in buying from Creepyyeha on storenvy or those curious about the quality.
What is Creepyyeha?:
Creepyyeha is the name of an independent store on the online marketplace, Storenvy. Run by Yeha Leung, every item is hand made by her and made to order before being shipped from New York.
Price:
Shipping:
$23.95 (Priority shipping). It arrived very quickly once it had been marked as posted, it took about a week for the order to be processed/crafted. It was packaged well and was not damaged or lost at all.
Pros:
It is exactly as advertised. I bought this on the one year anniversary sale so I got it for $35 instead of the normal $42. It is comfortable, perfectly sized and well made. She was quick to arrive too after being shipped, processing takes a few days. Mine took about a week but that’s understandable given she probably had a lot of orders due to her sale. I love it to death and so pleased I bought it.
Cons:
There are not many in my opinion but I should point out the back strap is made of elastic so it will stretch, even as you walk around. It may need adjusting as you wear because it might have a tendency to slip down. If the elastic becomes too stretched it’s easily fixed if you have the means (I certainly do) so I’m not to worried about that. The only other thing is price, not for the garter itself I actually think that is fair for a hand made leather piece, but shipping kicked the pricing way up to the point I almost did not buy it. The sale was the main reason I caved, I was not going to get it at a lower price anytime soon as far as I knew so it may have been my last chance to get it at that price. Though she does have a first class option instead of priority shipping which may be cheaper.
Extra Comments:
Upon wearing this more I have the advice of wearing good stockings or thigh high socks. Loose elastic in the socks/stockings, that had a tendency to fall down by themselves, seem to drag the garter down with it. However, in the few times I have worn it, so long as the socks are good, the garter has stayed up all day with minimal adjustments needed during that time. Over time it may stretch and become loose but so far it has been great! I have worn it quite a few times and never really been concerned about loss of elasticity in the back strap.
Overall:
I would definitely buy from Creepyyeha again, she has a great thing going for her! I don’t see any need to buy the same item again unless I decide I want twin garters or something happens to this one but there are plenty of other things I’d love to own. My only draw back is that I live in Australia and the international shipping is a hefty add on to the main price. However I adore pretty much everything I see in her shop. I think her work is fantastic.
