Golden Tote is partnering with non-profit Keep-A-Breast (75% donated) in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month

Standard

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Golden Tote is partnering with the Keep a Breast Foundation (non affiliate) to help promote awareness.

All October tote customers will get a bracelet, and the first 1000 subscribers will get the tote shown below. If you purchase a sweatshirt KAB will get 75% of the proceeds. (They share an office in LA, which is how this came out!)

They are also doing a #Checkyourselfie challenge, where if you post on instagram your pledge and tag them and 3 people, you are entered in to win a personalized surprise (whatever that is).

Golden Tote September Spoilers have been posted on their tumblr here!

I’m really loving how a small company like Golden Tote is doing something like this.

My golden tote came!! (Golden tote unboxing!)

Standard

As I detailed before in a previous post, I decided to buy the February Golden Tote with a $10 off coupon (making it around $40). I picked one item, and they send me two more surprise items. It’s an all or nothing deal, so you either keep all of it or none of it.

All of the items laid out! The golden tote is a cute bag!

Without further ado, the item I picked (mint and navy patterned tunic):

Add on one, a black long-sleeved shirt (kind of see through):

Finally, a scarf with fishies on it!:

 

Overall I liked the items, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again for awhile. For the same price I think I can get better quality items or more colors that I prefer. They picked out good items, just the quality is ok.
