Just a lil reminder of your legal rights when it comes to online shopping in the UK: you have 14 days from the date you receive your order to cancel it (either wholly or in part) and receive a refund to your original payment method. If you cancel the whole order the company must refund your original postage costs, the only exception being that they only have to refund the basic cost if you paid for faster postage. Denying a monetary refund because an item is on sale/has been sold at a reduced price violates the Consumer Contracts Regulations, and it's something that Killstar has been doing for years. I recommend stating in the returns form that you wish to cancel your order and receive a refund as per your rights under these regulations. If that doesn't work, contact Citizens Advice!
Harley Grant is that really a law? That’s pretty cool but also a lot of companies will say all sales are final. Though this only applies when you’ve received the item or are trying to return it.
@@SebastianSeanCrow It is in the UK, yes! It's because distance selling (online/mail order) doesn't allow the consumer to inspect/try on the item. We are lucky to have it, although sadly a lot of consumers don't seem to know their rights and a lot or businesses try to disregard the law.
same in germany
I have always known that this is my customer right as I have worked for numerous companies in the past with mail order and online shopping however,killstar are by far the worse for communication and refunds. They sent me faulty items stained and damaged and I returned them back out of my own expenses recorded delivery,items been signed for and receieved by them and now they are reluctant to give me refund because I should not have sent it to them without using their returns lable when I messaged them several times about the damaged goods they never got back to me so I sent them the items back with the returns form,they have receieved the items but still refuse to give me refund.. any advice?
@@ks-us4zb Call Citizen's Advice! They will help you liaise with your local Trading Standards office and make sure the company is upholding your legal rights. Killstar has gotten very shady lately and I think I will be skipping them from now on.
Killstar won once they got people to spend $50 on a pre-ripped sweater. Alternative people will rag on normies for buying stupid name brand things but we are just as bad.
Blistered Beetle if that ain’t the fucking truth
Blistered Beetle this is so true! Goth is all about individuality. Killstar is almost making goth “conformity in black”.
Now my new fave quote killstar is conformity in black
Right! I always think “i’m not a material girl” and a few weeks ago i thought “isn’t KILLSTAR kind of like the MAC to your NYX? Or the Zara to your H&M?” And i got kinda weirded out 😂
Roronoa Jolien I don’t blame people for by NYX. It’s good quality and such a bargain. Mac is a rip-off. 😂
I 100% agree ! The quality is not worth the prices. I have had multiples problems : a dress which the zip won't open, shoes that quickly break (only one pair tbh, the 2 others are still fine after 2 years), dresses that deform after washing, unconsistent sizing, the sizing of their shoes is also bad I think 4 is too small for me and 5 too big, etc. Every times I ordered I have always send something back. Their customer service don't always respond.
I keep buying from them thought, because... there is no better equivalent :/ The other brands are either the same cheap quality, or either better quality but with higher prices that I can't afford. Plus they have so many products, it's very convenient to buy at the same place.
So I also buy on sale and second handed only.
Thank you so much for making this video! Way too many people justify Killstar’s crap, adore them and don’t see anything wrong with them. I’ve bought quite a lot stuff from them during the last few years, some products have been and are okay quality-wise, meaning they don’t fricking fall apart, which shouldn’t be something to celebrate. The fabrics of said products are still low quality. Anyhow some other products have broken and gotten unusable in other ways. My handbag from them did the most unbelievable thing, there are those metal hooks that attach the shoulder strap tp the actual bag and the other one broke in half as if someone had sawn it with a metal saw. In addition two of my shirts/hoodies from them have done this thing that I’ve washed them like once of twice and they have gotten some weird lighter spots in them that I can’t seem to get off them in any way. Unusable. In addition many of their fabrics generally go bad when washed. Unacceptable from a ”luxury brand”. I decided in June that I won’t buy any fast fashion in general anymore, but Killstar was one of the first brands I decided to ditch. I buy thrifted stuff and if I see something super cool looking from Killstar, sadly they have a lot of it, for super cheap, I will buy it. That way they won’t get money from me and I get to use the amount of money for their products that is reasonable. I didn’t even know about them stealing art, thank you for bringing that up. They should really look themselves in the mirror, absolutely disgusting. I really wish more people would see them the way they are and that they were forced to fix their principles.
I agree with the sizes. I'm 5'5 and 48 kilos, so I'm pretty tiny, but I cannot fit into any of the size small clothing from killstar. I tried one of their button ups and my chest broke one of the buttons off!!
Hello sweetie! I totally agree with you about the crazy sizing Killstar has! I’ve bought the duchess chiffon skirt last year and, although I don’t have any complaint about the quality, I had to choose a size M when in any other brands, like Restyle, for example, I’m an S. I know that I’m not as slim as I was in my 20s (I’m in my 30s now), but my body haven’t change thaaaat much to wear one bigger size when in any other brands I wear size S! Quite odd tbh
The sizing is ridiculous! I bought the Ramona trousers a while back, and it said in the description that they were stretchy. At the time I was 3st heavier than I am now, and had had issues with things being non-stretch, so I thought "oh great they're stretchy!" and went ahead and bought them in a L. The trouser part was indeed stretchy, and were really comfy. The waistband was NOT stretchy. Meaning that if I zipped them up all the way, it was like I was being cut in half! Also, with these trousers, the zip does not have a piece of material behind it like jeans do, so the back of the zip touches your skin. A couple of times whilst wearing them, the zip has slid down and actually caught on MY SKIN, which is really painful. If I wear high waisted pants underneath then it's OK, but even then I still run the risk of the zip ripping a hole in the pants too. It's a shame, because they're actually really nice trousers, and now I'm small enough to fit into them they are actually comfy, but that zip gives me anxiety!
Not to mention, the stitching in the crotchal region started coming undone! I hand sewed it back up easily, but I shouldn't have to do that!
Also the Eden rose print leggings were bigger than I thought they'd be and slip down relentlessly, and the eyelets are scratchy and have come loose from the fabric...
Shoddy shoddy workmanship! 😭
i love killstar and alot of my clothes are from there, usually the sale. but i had a bag from there and within 2 months the pattern on the front just peeled off, my partner bought a £100 pair of mens shoes and they literally FELL APART after wearing them about 10 times
Not killstar, but I also bought a fake Restyle Baphomet hoodie off of Wish bc it was a better fit (and over 60$ cheaper.....after I bought the real one and hated it.
This happened to me too I bought the Blair b💜tch skirt in I think there biggest size which was like xl and wouldn't fit , saw they did it in their "plus size" section too but it's stupid that a 12 was xl and didn't even fit
I got velvet platform boots and in a week, the heels got loose. I messaged Killstar asking if this is their quality and they sent me a new pair for free, obv I got the other ones fixed and now I have two pairs. Im happy with their products.
I'm a plus size girl and in CHristmas two years ago I told my mom to order things in their news plus size collections. I'm a size 46/48 in France, which is like the starting sizes of plus sizes.
To be sure, my mom orderder things that were 1 size or two bigger (and I like wearing my things loose). I couldn't fit into no articles. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Their plus size section is a joke, and I even think that they just rebrand "normal" sizes and add a "plus size" tags to it. We even took clothes of a friend of mine who wears M/L sizes, and the items of the PLUS SIZE section where the same sizes as her items !
I love Killstar designs but I don't think I'm gonna buy ever egain.
I’ve never really been a huge fan of Killstar. I usually go with BlackCraft instead. Great quality (in my experience) and they’re good with shipping items out quickly. I try to find their stuff secondhand because I can’t really justify spending $100 on a windbreaker or $70 on a hoodie but they’re worth the money if you can spare it.
they have the quality of ali express clothes. that's probably their supplier to be honest. i make my own clothes because paying over the odds for under achieving garments is stupid. people are buying the name, it's stupid
I only have two items of Killstar clothing - a vegan leather jacket and the mermaid skirt. I love them but I'm always put off by the prices. I didn't mind spending the money on a jacket as I know it's a piece that I won't have to replace for a very long time but I'm not spending £50 on a dress that doesn't even look of a decent quality. I'm also put off by the amount of pentagrams on everything. I don't need a pentagram on all my clothes thanks.
I’ve never had too much of a problem with sizing but I’m also pretty skinny so I can fit into their extra small, but sometimes I’ll get a small cuz I want it a little bigger and I can barely fit my arms through a shirt or zip up a skirt...
Love your jumper, looks so cosy 😍 totally agree with what you are saying, the sizing is fucking horrendous and the quality for the price ..... it’s just not worth it.
No one:
Killstar: If we put moons and pentagrams on it, then it’s original. 🔮🌙
No one:
Killstar: let's use these pagan symbols we don't know what they mean but it looks goth and spooky so who cares
👆🏼these! I fell off the killstar wagon! Why do they have to obnoxiously use the imagery they do? They weren’t like that in the beginning from what i remember 🤔
Literally makes me uncomfortable 🤦🏾♀️
Same with Blackcraft!
Killstar uses moons and pentagrams like trademarks, as long as they just smack enough of them on a product ✨it’s theirs✨
Maybe do a video on good alternatives to killstar ?
Yes please
Yes! That would be wonderful!
That would be awesome.
Is restyle still good? I bought from them years ago and was pretty glad
Ones that have plus size please!!!
I’m on the other side of the alt fashion world (pastels and super girly girl Lolita inspired clothes) and I have to say in my opinion alt brands know that alt people are so so desperate for clothes that aren’t mainstream and actually express them that they will pay top dollar for low quality if it is their aesthetic. It really sucks because they’re taking advantage of the fact that it’s so hard to find alt fashion in the west. I think that’s what pisses me off the most they’re taking direct advantage of us and they know we’ll defend them and purchase from them because where else can we go?
Exactly
I will just buy their stuff on depop or Ali Express. If they are okay with ripping off artists I'm ok with buying their knock offs 🤣🤣🤣
Litafaerie hey, with Depop it’s second hand! So maybe not a knock off? Lol
@@SebastianSeanCrow well some things are I've noticed but I'm ok with that. Depop is great I actually love it.
Sebastian Sean Crow the first time I bought off of depop, I got a knock off :/ it was supposed to be the Transylvania sweater from disturbia
I really get annoyed that Killstar ( and other brands mind you) are turning paganism, Wicca, voodoo, Satanism and other beliefs into cute Instagram aesthetic... 🤦♀️
Morrie Wilde well that’s all religions are anyways.
Right? Me myself I have no interest in wearing religious symbols anywhere on my body. I can't be any more atheist than I already am, so the thought of wearing crosses or pentagams on my clothes seems kind of tasteless and disrespectful. I really liked some of their shoes and bags but the symbols had always discouraged me from buying them. Now that I watched this video I'm glad that I didn't buy anything
Just remove the symbols from the article (if that's possible). I do that all the time. (Jan Griffiths).
It wouldn't be so bad but I can't help thinking that a lot of people wearing the symbols don't have any idea what they signify. I'm not particularly religious these days but I wouldn't wanna wear something unless I understand what it means.
Mors Vincit Omnia I’m a practicing wiccan so I do know the different btwn pentacles pentagrams, pagan symbolism and the spiritual seasons behind some of the titles of the clothing, not that being said idk if I’m part of the problem bc I like the aesthetic and love wearing my own symbolism proudly, but should I continue to buy from them if it’s clear the company doesn’t know or will not bother to research or understand what they’re showing as fashion... I’m conflicted tbh :/
Honestly I think their pricing is the biggest thing that bothers me, especially for the quality. I think the only thing I can justify buying from killstar now is their more detailed (ish?) dresses. I have the purple check skater dress and I think that was like £50, but then I've seen their very basic t shirts and just quite plain dresses and leggings for about £30-£40 which I think is ludicrous
Same I pretty much only buy when it's on sale.
Same, i only buy at sale or from clearance (but then holy shit that -40% on clearance is delicious) but the only time i will ever be willing to buy for the normal price is if i find the best thing since sliced bread.
might as well go to tesco and spend £3 on childs 15-16 leggings hahaha
Naturally, the only 100% reliable way to get Goth clothes is DIY.
its how we've done it for years, why should that change :)
Exactly what I was gonna say I don't spend shit on my clothes, band tees dark levis the occasional plaid overshirt brown pumas and I'm good and goth..
Yep. Stores like Goodwill are your friends. DIY is better anyway; You can make something unique that no one else has, and they will ask you where you got it. (Jan Griffiths).
Say it louder for the folk at rhe back!
@@wolfrain319 It's not hard to dye or embroider and distress clothes and anyone can make accessories.
There is no reason to buy clothes from big brands if You want to only buy vintage or support small buisnesses.
much more ethical.
I've absolutely noticed Killstar's quality taking a nosedive instead of improving as they grow as a company. I've received dodgy items but also items that seem to be very good quality, it's super hit and miss.
I agree! Some things you get are really good and some not so good... I try to study the pictures hard to try to figure out if it's a fabric that isn't good.
Kiri Godfrey i bought a maxi dress from them like 3 or 4 years ago and there wasn’t a slit in order to be able to walk in it properly But the quality of the fabric was bomb! But the latest dress and leggings I’ve purchased from them a few months back are made of such a thin material you can even tell where the seams of my tights are.. lose threads here and there... and the super skinny platform of the shows that doesn’t allow you to walk without tripping is so sad considering everything looks fabulous in the pictures 😩
It clear they aim to be the edgy version of asos imo :/
Thats capitalism babe!
I bought a few t-shirts from them three/four years ago and have only started getting holes in them with regular wear. I bought two new T-shirt’s last November and they had holes in them after 9 months. For a £25 T-shirt the quality ain’t it.
I'm convinced that a lot of Killstar products are Wish products with new labels sewn in...
I will add that the only Killstar item I own that I think was (almost) worth it was an underwear set I got on sale.
And the collars should be designed so that as they stretch with age you can do them up tighter so they last longer.
I’ve found some of their stuff on AliExpress
Same prob with the bralette 🙄 and ever tried their tights? They’re one size and seems like one size is xs-xxs bc I nearly can’t fit in them with size s 😳
But most of their products I’ve got are pretty good 🤔
Or wish rebranded it XD
I think they are all some level of mass e commerce sites,so they blend lines somewhere along the way. It is easy to duplicate certain items with cheap and/or similar materials
Killstar have got too big for their boots and the stuff is mass produced. The material quality has gone right down. I’ve got a jumper of theirs that is getting on for 8 years old and it’s still going strong! Because it was made when they weren’t a massive company. I’m with you I won’t buy anything from them unless it’s second hand or in the sale
Dem boots 💜💀
I still love killstar but i started to buy from this company a few years ago and whenever i'm buying something from them it's only their older clothing (many alternative clothing online shops still have their older clothes) and the quality is nice (or maybe i suck at the definition of the ''good quality'' 😂) but i completely agree their new stuff kinda sucks not only because of the quality but i really dislike the whole look of the clothes. Nothing that would make me scream ''WAAAA I WANT THIS!'' right now they're making most of the things with stripes and holes and want you to spend money on it. My favourite piece from them is actually ''Goth as fuck'' sweater. I bought it i dunno 3-4 years ago i believe and i like the quality. It isn't bad (in my opinion of course)
Agreed, my old Killstar from 5 to 6 years ago is still going strong but a dress I recently ordered was really bad quality. It's hit and miss. I'm still probably going to buy from them but only from sale.
100% agreed mass produced bullshit
@@Venya9 It all expensive in my bracket but the few things i have gotten after they got me started I got more variaty and at a decent new price from a place called Rebelsmarket online since Goth dosent seem big out here in Oregon. *sigh*
I wanted to buy Killstar clothes but seeing how they and other brands treat a lot of religions, even gods/goddesses like trendy seasonal aesthetics, it irks me so much. I'm Wiccan Pagan like I got hate, shamed and stuff thrown at me and told I was going to burn because of my religion since I was a kid and now to see every trendy girl on Instagram use the religion and being a witch/ witchcraft like a fashion statement makes me wanna cry. Not just that it's hella disrespectful to those who actually follow and practice the religions. I'm so glad I watched your videos cause I'm definitely going to stay away from these brands.
Soula angel me too I was looking for a comment that mentioned this! As a pagan and a witch I hate how they use our practice, something sacred to us, and our deities as a fashion trend when we constantly get hate for our practice.
Can I ask where a good educational place to start learning about it might be? My parents raised us with minor Wiccan and Pagan influence, but we lived in a small, religious town so it wasn't much. It's the only kind of belief system I've ever been mildly intrigued in or felt like I had a connection. But I'm not really on comfortable speaking terms with them, so I'd never ask them to reteach me things.
@@rachaelleverette6599 find your local witch shop they should sell books for beginners and WitchVox.com on Facebook, also being a witch/ pagan is up to you what deity you worship (I have 3 main ones Gaia, Hecate, and Isis) what magick you practice I practice healing and have many other abilities. it's based off of many ancient religions. Honestly if you would like I teach basics do's and don't to Wicca if you'd like my help. Let me know and we can set up some way to message each other.
@@soulaangel370 Thank you so much! I'll start there and try to regrasp some of the basics. I appreciate it ❤️. If I have any questions, I'll be sure to let you know!
@@rachaelleverette6599 okay I hope they help! You're welcome I'm always open to questions people have about Wicca or paganism, ( you'd be surprised all the weird funny stuff people have thought it is or involves 😂 and the dark stuff I've had to help people get out of)
*laughs & claps like a seal with its favourite fish for 15 & a half minutes* XD All.of.dis - omg!!! But jeez, I didn't know the quality sucked to that point, like I've always found the concept of spending near a hundred quid on vegan leather boots (and ANKLE BOOTS at that, not even knee length!!) which are guaran-fucking-teed to split away from the sole within 12 months, quite mad, but getting a week out of them before they bust is...genuinely *impressive* shittiness! :O Tbh much of the bad quality is visible even from browsing websites - I will never buy any dress that is seamed horizontally across the waist, it looks cheap & nasty, it hangs all ugly, I'm not having that crapola, & basically all Killstar's stuff does that. Then there was that mermaid material corset top a few months back - even on the influencer modelling it (Dayana Crunk, iirc), you could tell that it was the wrong material to ever be a corset, all stretchy & floppy so it just hung like Ebay garbage or a cheap Halloween costume, & Christ knows how it must look on a less slim body type O__O ...I will say I'm kinda tempted with one of their winter coats, & if the zip busts that's not too difficult to take off & sew a new zip in, but damn freakin' straight I should NOT have to be considering that on a £100~ jacket! The idea stealing too, faaack - that picture of the girl?! Idea stealing is bad enough, but when it's literally your freakin' FACE you ain't getting paid or even credited for, I cannot even! May this encourage the herds to move to pastures more unique - I look at Killstar stuff & all I see is '90s Black Rose ill-fitting cheap velvet sacks, & Hot Topic inane slogans, which was fine in the 90s, 'cause that's all there was, suck it up, but now it's like...there's so, so much more choice, y u do dis to yourself?!! Or at the least, just buy Ebay fakes; it sounds like the quality's ironically better XD
I either wear cheap dollies or Demonia, they're the only luxury brand I can justify spending that amount of money on.
Dermonia have a terrible online reputation shoes coming apart soles braking coming off damage to fabrics or leathers before arrival so much bad press. And the price considering that.
Is that the case or have you had yours a long time?
I always find demonia second hand. Im getting good at fixing them.😅😅
My Demonia always fall appart... Ive worn a pair for a week and theres chunks of leather coming off them
C0MA BLACK real leather or fake/plastic made to look like leather?
@@lucyannethrope8359 fake
Killstar is overpriced and over hyped. I got some underpants that were so tight and cut in the weirdest, most uncomfortable way, super thick on my legs but could 't cover my ass. They have nice packaging, that's all they have going for them
Honestly this makes me feel so much better my bf got me the deaths door dress in a L and it didn’t so I sent it back for an XL and it was even smaller than the large 😭 I spent the day crying because I couldn’t wear my birthday present. Killstar needs to get their shit together
That's horrible :( I'm sorry this happened to you x
I had to quote consumer law at Killstar before they'd replace my broomrider boots after the sole started coming off after a week. They tried to tell me it was "user error". Basically that I was walking so wrong that I broke their boots?! Fuckers. It's such a pity too because their boots and shoes are so damn comfortable.
I found their dresses mostly fine for sizing but when buying leggings I had to size up by 2 sizes and they were still a bit tighter than I'd have wanted. I save up and buy one good piece of Punk Rave for every 3 pieces of stuff I'd buy from Killstar now. The quality from Punk Rave is breathtaking 🖤
i am so happy, soo happy you spoke out, I just see a lot of influencers hauling their stuff and thinking about saving up for a thing, but Im rly glad I know this. Id be so dissapointed bout saving up af and then getting a thing thats not woth the money and does not last. hate when things dost last...lol
I love Killstar but I do the same, I only buy them when they’re reduced on clearance. Thankfully I had no real problem except their shoes, their sizes are all over the place!
I like some designs they got but yeah there clothes are expensive as hell . Luckily not much people here know about Killstar . But omg there shipping is slow as hell
I have a love-hate relationship with killstar. I like their clothing designs but I agree their sizing is sooooo off. I made the mistake of going off of the size chart and both of the dresses I ordered were too big so I got them tailored (Honestly I didn't feel like going through the hassle of exchanging them). Plus I bought the "purr evil" over the knee socks and they barely went over my damn knee! And when I managed to get them up, they were uncomfortably tight and the cat face was all stretched out and not cute.
Way should i go off for by size for tops if i’m a medium to small? If i can’t use size chart
Well to be fair thigh highs/over the knee socks are mostly made for people with super tiny thighs, it's super hard to find good quality thigh highs/over the knee socks for people with thicc thighs
About 90% of the Killstar clothes/shoes that I own I got off of their clearance section or off of another site's clearance section because I refuse to pay a ton of money for the majority of their items. What really gets me about the brand is all of the pentacle crap. They'll stick a pentacle on something that would look better without it. It's really obvious that they are trying to target teenagers who feel 'edgy' when they wear that kind of thing. I'm 48 years old and I have way to much respect for Wiccans and Pagans to be sporting their religious symbols without actually practising their religion. Crosses have been a goth staple for the last 40 years so it's open season on them as far as I am concerned. If and when the economy crashes again those teens aren't going to have the cash they have now. If they don't change, at least a little bit, their targeted group they are going to go belly up.
Meg McGuigan why are crosses open season but pentacles and pentagrams not ? All religions are stupid but they deserve the same amount of respect and criticism. If one is open season then they all are
@@bstmeg5237 Crosses are just a shape, and have been used for centuries as adornments. But then so is a star. It all depends on the usage, I guess. I have several cross and star jewelry items that are not religious symbols. (Jan Griffiths).
If anyone asks me, I would just say it's a star on my clothing because it is. 🤷♀️ I agree with most of what you said though.
@@douglasgriffiths3534 pentacles and pentagrams are pretty much interchangeably used in many different religions. Although I do think profiting off of satanism and paganism, and seeing edgy kids wear these symbols without knowing what they mean is annoying, I still feel represented, and I enjoy seeing the spread of these symbols everywhere. I think the rise of alternative children who dress edgy and wear these symbols is a much needed counter culture to our religious population. Not that being religious is bad, but especially in American society, religion, (especially Christianity) has been used to control people, shame people, and we do not have a proper separation of church and state. We need a counter culture of people to fight against us and that see the problems with this, but most religious people don’t care since it doesn’t effect them.
OMG someone finally said it. Awful customer service and you have to pay for returns which for boots is a small fortune.
Yes! I live on the east coast in the US so they ship their shoes from LA. I ALWAYS wear a size 9, but I got the Stevie shoes and they were huge on me. It cost over $30 to ship them across the country and get a replacement. My $100 shoes were now $130!
If you are a medium and have to size up to an XXL then there is no hope for us plus size girls! Now that I have watched this video I don't think I will be purchasing clothes from killstar 🙁
they have bigger sizeing too
I am a UK 12 in top and a UK 14 bottom. Now. I do have a bust (36F) however I still struggle to fit into their xxl dresses. They have to be stretchy for me to get my figure into. I'm only 29 inches in waist as well so their sizing doesn't make sense at all! I agree. I think a 12 to 14 should be a comfortable medium, so what are plus size gals supposed to do? So unfair!
They do have plus size but the selection is pretty shitty.. like a very small fraction of items
My thought was if you had to size up I'd be at least a Five XL! Heck no! I'm plus size and I do have lumps and bumps so I don't want the clothes to be clinging to everything.
they have plus sized clothes.
I've never liked killstar!! i remember back in 2013 i bought one of their sale sweaters (my first purchase from them) and for some reason there was no elastic in the bottom band, so it was really tight along the bottom and really loose in the midsection.. it made me look like a goth muffin.. it was on sale but it was still expensive for me (being a college student at the time) and i vowed from that moment to only buy secondhand items from them.
Killstar have got too big for their cheap crappy boots 😡 Their customers put them up there in the top spot and now they just don't care about the quality, sizing or customer service and they keep hiking their prices up for inferior products. I will not buy anything else from Killstar until they sort out all of these issues which is a shame as they have some beautiful dresses. Thank you for the video, maybe if a few more influencers do the same kinda video, Killstar might actually start addressing the problems, we can but hope xxxxxx💜🎃
Their velvet comforter is $200 AUD, it has a hole in it already. After less than a month of being on the bed
Jeeeeeeez, that's bad!!
Daylight robbery.
That is horrible
😫😲😲
I do love killstar but their popularity has made them have shitty customer service. I've now been branching out on other brands. Dark in love, punk Rave etc. I'll still shop with killstar because they offer clearpay. 😂
I bought my "grail" shirt from Killstar the Marilyn/Manson baseball tee. I'm living paycheck to paycheck so I had to save 10 bucks a month just to finally order it. It cracked & peeled in less than 4 washes. It really made a little angry with creators on RUclips for a bit that promote them so frequently. Why watch a haul on something you know is crap. 😲 on the plus side it's really plunged me back into the DIY mindset, how I grew up with no cookie cutter uniform shop telling me what goth should look like.
I'm always sceptical of anything with a print from them, I got the Marilyn Manson stripy jumper and I had the same thing happen with the print peeling off after a couple of washes
I bought one ,I've had it for months now,it's not cracked at all,but then again I don't dry them and I wash them in cold water 🤷♀️
Those people are getting free PR packages and being paid to make videos on killstar and all these brands. Dollskill, current mood, killstar. It’s all the same. Never buy anything that a influencer makes a haul video about because it’s always disingenuous.
@@shelbycurtis8885 Yep, that's the only way to care for these items. I hand wash and rinse in cold water, put on a hanger, and let it dry in the shower. No issues. These items should never be put in the regular wash, and never put in the dryer. Don't hang on the clothesline in the sun either. (Jan Griffiths).
I recommend an alternative brand called "Punk Rave". Sounds a tad corny but the quality is unreal! They also have a range of price products from cheaper, but the quality is good, to very expensive but the quality means it'll last you years.
I've never been a fan of dollskill nor killstar, I've found myself finding small individual companies who make much more quality items.
I also feel their quality and sizing are really bad. Because of the sizing issues I couldn't fit properly into a dress I ordered for my graduation, but it ordered it in the "same size" my other two Killstar dresses were. I haven't bought their shoes but all the people I know that own a pair have issues with them falling apart and generally being poor quality.
My experience with their customers service ( which btw I had to have due to their weird sizes) was horrible. I just think for these prices it's not ok! You just put everything I think into a video!
Their customer service is horrible and sizing is a joke
I haven't bought anything, not for those prices
Peachs'nCreamPie Me neither.
Same here. I'd rather go to a store like Goodwill and buy items I can make something unique and one of a kind. It's hit or miss though---sometimes you find good stuff, and sometimes not. At least you can see the items irl before buying. (Jan Griffiths).
I used to work for them. They intentionally don't pay their staff fairly, or legally. You would have to REQUEST your pay, which was in cash, and it turned out after I insisted a payslip they had been paying me someone else's pay (a previous employee with a much higher tax level) so my wage was wrong and I had no way of proving it. I got taken in the back room and screamed into my face for using my staff discount. They're not nice people, they have mega cult vibes (not in a fun way) and they are big on the hard sell. Their store is no longer open in Glasgow (Hellfire) so they can't do that anymore at least. I'll never buy from them again. Horrendous employers.
Jeeeez! That's awful! I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you x
Kill star is just online hot topic, trash and expensive
I’ve been going to hot topic since I was a young smol emo, and to be fair I haven’t liked a lot of their stuff over recent years, though lately I’ve actually found things I like there and have managed to snag a few things there for a decent price, though I will say a lot of their stuff is ridiculously expensive. $50 for a plain black jacket is ridiculous. Although to defend their sizing, (I’m a US size 13-15 in bottoms, size large-x large in tops) I have never had a problem fitting into any of their clothes with the exception of one skirt which said Large but was actually a small, but since it was just one skirt I wrote it off as maybe it ran small because it was from a different brand. Hot Topic has been the only place that I can buy jeans, shorts, skirts, etc. because they’ve been the only place where I can get a size 13 or 15 and have it ACTUALLY be a size 13 or 15.
@@lunarequine7734 I bought a choker from there and it fits a chihuahua but not me or my short mom. It’s ridiculous since they have plus size clothing.
This is why I just buy most of my alt stuff from amazon XD
I always felt like the sizes were suspicious. The models they use are TINY.
Of course!!! All clothing manufacturers do that. They get the smallest models they can find---not real-world people, which they should be using. Not everyone is model-thin. The clothing should be modeled on different sized models---tall, short, fat or thin. In a perfect world, I guess. (Jan Griffiths).
I reckon Killstar will definitely reach out to you after this video! 😂 I don't even buy from them and I'm angry! I felt your frustration in this video! Great that you're letting others know about it!
What upsets me as a wiccan is how they'll put a Pagan pentagram on something and then give the item a name associated with satanism. If it was an image of baphomet then sure that makes sense but they're fully mixing up religions for 'the aesthetic'
essentially we're just paying for their clout and 00 models to get paid.
Fast Fashion...
Thank you for this, I would rather and have bought from WISH instead. If I'm going to buy something that will more than likely fall apart I'd rather only spend $5 than $125
Jamie Thomas no joke wish goth clothes r pretty good..
I must own every size of clothing that killstar offer; I'll be in M in one dress and a XXL in another. Absolute nightmare. Why can't they just put the individual measurements up for each garment, just saying "M is 10-12" isn't good enough when most of your stock can only be purchased online?!
I spent $150 on their platform malice trainers, wore them ONCE to the cinema AKA sitting on my ass for 2 hours and when I got home the whole platform came away from the shoe as I was walking up the stairs!! Absolute garbage! I was so mad I threw them in the bin. What a waste of money! Never again!
Woooooo! That's crazy! I'd have been fuming!
I was raging! I’ll stick to quality Demonias 🖤❤️
It's honestly annoying how expensive alternative clothing is. Mostly because we can't get them from other places (atleast trust worthy) and companies know this and they can charge so much for badly made things. It's just so frustrating
Imagine having your own face stolen and put on bags. That is some crazy shit.
I never buy stuff there for the regular price. Their clothing gets ridiculous cheaper once it is in the clearance. I brought a dress they used to sell for 80€ but ended up for 35€ and considering their inconsistency in quality it was a fair price then.
Also they use sweatshops! I hate that they charge so much for clothing when i know that they're exploiting lower class workers (sometimes even children) in third world countries by not paying them a fair living wage.
I'm guessing these workers also work in such terrible conditions that are absolutely not safe :(
it's so sad because most brands use sweatshops and it's just such a horrible industry.
I like Killstar designs too but I agree that the quality has really gone down hill
Of course your a a lier when you call out faults. They are only want to have praise, it's freedom of speach. If they can't handle heat then step away from the limelight.
You never lie to us Boobie Queen, love your videos, you are real, true and honest
I'm in the process of losing weight/getting healthier. I am a UK size 14 top and16 bottom, I cannot wear killstar unless it's mens. Having a brand say it's a UK 14 and then it not being able to go past my shoulders is so upsetting, I thought it was me being too big. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who had issues, because being told you're too big for their products constantly by brands is so upsetting to the point where I hate shopping now. And size UK 14/16 is the average size of a woman in the UK, it's ridiculous
Same, im a uk 14 and had to order a coat from them in xxl to fit!
My main issue is that the skirts and dresses are too short like I have to wear shorts.
They;re too short for me and i'm 4'11 :P
Funny because the one dress I bought from Killstar was too long! I'm 5'4 and it almost covered my knees when I expected it to be mid thigh :/ I was so disappointed
I bought a dress that looked mid thigh-ish on the model and it covers my butt cheeks only if I don't move. I'm 5'4.
I have a nice long-blouse tunic thing now which isn't bad but eh I wanted a dress?
Beware if you have a butt and your 6‘1 😂
@@schurtzenbusenvisage7165 we are in the same boat. I’m 6’0 I just got an apron dress today in a large. It’s too short. All the shirts are too short to. Idek wtf to do🤦🏾♀️
I've only ever bought from their clearance. Their journals are great quality but so overpriced! Most of their products prices should be halved for sure. Also, I bought a candle from clearance once and it arrived in a torn up box, all discoloured and dusty. I complained because it legit looked like it had been sat out for months.
Honestly, the reason they make their stuff small is so only small people wear it. I remember Victoria Beckham didn't want to make her clothing line have options over a 14/16, as she didn't want heavy women in it. There is a reason for this. Killstar thrives off social media, and smaller frames (small/skinny/slim thicc) are the preferred people to market to. Goths come in all shapes and sizes. Killstar doesn't give a shit.
I love you hair so much x
😼💜 collars~
I've recently ordered the "witch craft" pillow and it stuck on my face while sleeping because the letter's are made of plastic! I wanted to return it but since I'm from Austria I have to pay the shipping costs myself. Well thanks and never again I guess.
Omg that's funny but awful 🤗😜
Honestly, I avoid Killstar as much as possible. I refuse to spend overly extortionate prices for things that are just badly made. I'm sick of their products before I get anywhere near their website due to having it shoved in my face constantly in every corner of social media.
I've heard and seen quite a few examples of their dodgy customer service, rudeness and theft of ideas.
Edited to add - I'm a size 22. I have had issues lol
AGREED ON THE UNDERWEAR POINT it would be nice for that price if they also gave you more than S, M, L etc and actually put effort into sizing things and letting you know whether it'll fit you by recommending which size is good for your actual cup and band size. Don't buy their underwear fullstop I'd say anyway, though, I received a broken skeleton bra and when I contacted customer services they said "that's why it's on sale" 🙃
That;s such a shitty reply from them!!!
I can’t believe some of these companies just steal someone’s whole a$$ face???
Can I also say that the cup i won from you that was from killstar the straw broke in like a few washes
No wayyy!!! That really sucks :(
As a plus size goth I get really mad at sizing when it comes to alternative clothing websites. Even the plus size sections of these websites don't have a great range of sizes. When I go to websites like ASOS the plus sizes go up to like size 28 (i'm a size 20/22) and on Killstar the largest plus size they have is predicted to fit sizes 20/22 which makes me pisstttt
i have never bought any killstar items,i refuse to pay their prices! i bought a pair of flatform boots from primark a couple of months ago,i have worn them everyday and they are still going strong,just goes to show you really don't need to spend that much to still look good :)
Finally someone mentioned the size issue with Killstar!!! Girl, I am a size 18 which translates to about a 2x normally but at Killstar I wear a 4x. Sometimes I order a 4x and it’s a bit tight and other times I wind up taking it in. No consistency! And at 5’10” most of those skirts wind up showing my ass😂.
Also Killstars Keiko Kitty is just a goth edit of Jiji from Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service.
I have the opposite problem with sizing. I can't even wear ANY of their clothes because the XS is huge on me and they don't make smaller sizes. On the other hand, I'm also 4'11" (and 80lbs, I'm extremely petite) and their dresses are short on me, too. It's very odd. I've seen so many people say the sizing is either too big or too small. And definitely way overpriced.
I only buy their stuff when they are on sale and always kinda made myself believe that the quality is good but the belt with the pentagrams for example, is getting all rusty and discoloured, also the latex skater dress with the zip on the front (size s) and im very small, cup A etc, and it barely fits! Xs must be for bloody kids then
It’s so nice for someone to finally be honest about Killstar. I have ordered from them and I would give the exact same review. I do like their products but they are completely off their rockers with their pricing for the quality their selling. Nothing they sell is worth what they charge. Maybe if you get it in their clearance section with a discount code, maybe then it may come a little bit closer to what it is actually worth to buy. Wish and AliExpress are just as good in my opinion and some of the quality on their sites are really bad. I think all these high priced alternative websites get a lot of their products off of wish and AliExpress. I’m not sure why so many people in the alternative fashion community snub their noses at wish and AliExpress because those sellers that are on those sites are also selling a lot of products to the higher priced alternative fashion websites. Idk about most of you but I prefer to pay as little as I have to for stuff instead of paying 2 sometimes 3&4 X’s the amount. That drives me bonkers. I have even seen actual Punk Rave products on AliExpress for significantly less than the “high end” stores that are better quality than Killstar. I recently bought an amazing Punk Rave skirt from AliExpress for $35 that is selling for $80 on most of the alternative fashion websites. It’s wasteful and idiotic to pay $80 for something that you can buy for $35. Just sayin’.
"I like to wear platforms to make me average height" me too sis
Honestly this is so sad. I've never really bought from them, I usually thrift and support small businesses. We should make this video go viral to raise awareness of this situation because I feel like as a goth community we deserve so much more than what killstar believes we deserve.
Just saying, the way you said "most" @13:35 made me want to hear you sing some metal or something. Idk if you do or not, this is the first time I'm visiting your channel. But.. Yeah. I'm here for that voiiiice. 💜🤘🏻
I love their designs but their quality not so much. price wise i am ok-ish just because i am a 90s goth and you never got any decent dress under 100 GBP in that time. That being said i have a 20 year old velvet dress from that time hanging in my closet and still kicking which i am not sure if that would be possible with killstar. After all killstar is fast fashion which we need to face i guess. But ohh their sizing yes. i never know if i am an s, m or even sometimes xs or l in the same kind of style. recently bought tw long style vests and one in size s was showing all my lumps and bumbs and one had wiggle room as hell looking two numbers to big.
I am a us size 16 and I have the same vinyl skirt and I originally purchased it in the size according to their site, 3xl, and it was too big in the waist and had to return it for xxl! And then the blaire bitch skirt in a xxl was way too small and the 3xl is a smidge loose. Sizing is allllllll over the place
Honestly, I knew something was going on when they were coming out with new clothes like hot cakes... has anybody else noticed that a lot of their new stuff looks really basic and just isn’t really all that cute? Like they’re coming out with A LOT of tshirts now for like $40 and the designs on them look tacky
im so glad other have noticed this i had a really good experience with their customer service, the malice shoes started to split after a few days of me wearing and i got my more than my money back cause they were on sale. I had the batshit crazy backpack and wore it everyday for 2 years it only fell apart cause i used to shove far more into it than it could actually fit but i was so impressed it was my favourite but as i broke i wanted to replace it and i got the unlucky charms bag as it was a similar size but its already peeling and breaking. The other thing i noticed is the amount of new stuff they come out with. Seems like very week is a new collection of very forced/ rushed clothing and the quality shows. Ive not had issue with their dresses but for the price you pay its hard to justify when you dont get the quailty :(
Also the US store ships from LA and I live in San Diego and it takes two weeks for things to get here???? I remember at one time I had ordered glossier makeup at the same time as killstar stuff and glossier ships from New York and for some reason that arrived earlier than killstar??????
I've bought clothes from wish and aliexpress that were higher quality than the majority of killstar products. Found their leggings tore within a few times of wearing them and I totally agree with you on the primark dress fabric
I end up having to send so much stuff back now and in the email I said about how the quality isn't amazing on certain items and explained things broke within a day and they just said "oh that's to do with how much you use them" with my shoes I got I wore them once and the heel came off.. Got another pair and the eyelet caught on the other side, made me fall over and it ripped out the whole eyelet 😂 got the tarot card backpack and the straps are already falling off and I've used it 3 times :/ I've gotten dresses off there and the print will be patchy or even be all over the place. It's really sad that they're going down hill
Why is it all the main big alternative clothing brands going to shit. I’m a pastel goth I found a lovely pink pair of platforms for a lot of money on killstar and the metal bits holding the laces are bending it’s annoying especially because I have smoked feet it’s hard to find cool shoes
Just dont shop fast fashion as a rule. If never ends well
A $90+ purse zipper did the same thing your shoes did the Moment I opened the bag it came in. Nope. Never again. They were rude about it too
Killstar quality is awful, my husband bought a "leather" jacket from there and it was rubber
I only ever buy from their clearance and even then a lot of it is overpriced
I agree, some of Killstar shoes seem overpriced for the quality!
Literally couldn’t agree more..! Well said!
Killstar clothing are cheap shit. I stopped buying their cloths years ago. Just can't take their crap any longer.
