ABCey’s Startup Monday – Le Tote

Startup Monday is ABCey’s weekly post that features some of the best and brightest companies in the Bay Area. They are often companies that we have our eye on, or have worked with in the past & would like to share with friends and followers of ABCey Events! Today’s Startup Monday highlights Le Tote, a customized fashion subscription that sends a box of clothing and accessories to your doorstep!


Le Tote

Le Tote is a fashion rental service that creates and ships customized outfits for you to wear! They offer clothing from over 150 brands that are for classic or maternity looks. Some memberships also include jewelry to pair with the outfits selected. It is a great way to get awesome and affordable stylized looks that are personalized to your preferences!

How it Works

Le Tote Startup Monday

You sign up online and take a style quiz so Le Tote can get to know what pants, shirts and dresses you typically wear. They also ask what type of outfits you’re looking for and how often you want to receive a box with weekend, business and date night outfits as well as asking for your location to check the weather in your area! They take into account a lot of different factors to really customize a box to fit you and your style! Le Tote will then compile a box they think you will like but they also give you the option to swap out items incase you don’t.

Once you receive your box you can wear anything as much as you want. When you’re done with the box you can send it back (no shipping fees) and Le Tote will send you a new box! If you do end up growing attached to an item you also have the option to buy it for a lower cost.

Membership Options
