Any experience of Lotimena?

Ive lost a lot of weight since last summer and with the warmer weather Ive realised that none of my summer clothes fit. Totally realise that this isnt the biggest problem in the world right now but im about 2-3 dresses down on everything in my wardrobe and everything keeps falling down even with belts Shock

FB keeps popping up the Lotimena site and its very much the style of stuff i would wear, but im struggling to find any reviews and Im always a bit suspicious about advertised sites on social media.

Anyone got any experience using them?

If you Google the company, it does not come out well 😳

Hi I'm thinking the same, read somewhere its a scam but the clothes look lovely! I won't order though without reviews.

ColleysMill · 13/04/2020 10:18

See this was what i was thinking, im always cautious with online sites that ive never heard of.

Blooming shame as i could have ordered loads of stuff. Never mind i will keep on looking!! Thanks

This would be enough to put me off

Lotimena is an international B2C online fashion shopping destination. Founded in 2016,in past years, Lotimena has achieved rapid development on a global scale,and we have won recognition and trust from customers in Ameriaca,Europe,Austrilia.

They’re obviously in China going by delivery times, the Facebook page is a joke too

aww, just saw a lovely top I would have bought but will hold off now

Wavey123 · 19/04/2020 13:50

This looks VERY suspicious to me, they have most likely stolen their pictures from Etsy/Pinterest, which is annoying as it looks really tempting and I’ll love a pair or dungarees like the ones in their pics. What would be useful is to find out where these clothes are actually from.

I’ll avoid as I fell for a very similar looking site last year buying what I thought was a nice pair of leather sandals but what turned up was cheap plastic fake horrible things which weren’t good enough for the charity shop.

To return they ask you to send it back to China which will cost you as much as the item cost.

Wavey123 · 19/04/2020 13:52

Also, all the positive reviews on Trust Pilot sound unrealistic, bar the 1 negative one.

MollyLollyPops · 21/04/2020 00:10

Hi, I’ve seen the clothes on this site ‘sold’ on several other dodgy looking sites too so unfortunately I think it’s a scam. The other sites are (and I’m sure there are more);

floryday.com
shopingnova.com
justfashionnow.com
noracora.com
petalprim.com

It’s a shame though as the designs look lovely but what you see won’t be what you get.

Hi ColleysMill

Just rejoined MN after many years due to searching web for Lotima reviews, AFTER purchasing some clothes from Lotima..I too, was lured in by their style and the fact we have no choice atm but to go online for new clothes. Shouldn't have been so impulsive and done some research first. I am patiently waiting for the delivery and checking tracking with various international couriers (thats if that information is all legit) at the moment it's just left Hong Kong. Dont trust the good reviews in TrustPilot.

I dont hold up much hope that they'll be anything like what I saw. But watch this space when they arrive. The sizing issue alone worries me because it's China so should always size up from your own, but I believed what they stated on their sizing chart...I'll let you know

Karensims81 · 02/05/2020 11:29

..sorry Lotimena..

Toomanycats99 · 02/05/2020 11:43

That's a shame to hear this- it also keeps popping up on my feed and I liked the look of a couple of the t shirts but was wondering about potential quality.

Wavey123 · 02/05/2020 12:11

It’ll be interesting to see how it goes Karen, the Trust Pilot reviews just don’t sound real, they just sound like they were written by an ad agency

Isak · 04/05/2020 21:57

Hey Karensims81,
Please let us know what the quality is like when the clothes turn up..I was about to place an order when I read the warnings..!

Karensims81 · 04/05/2020 22:55

Will Do !

AliJack · 12/05/2020 11:36

Ladies please do not waste your money! I have just received part of an order I placed with Lotimena over a month ago as they have come from China which i did not realise they would do at the time of ordering! Clearly made in a sweatshop! They do not look like the pics at all, the sizing is off they come up small despite me checking their sizing chart poor quality very disappointed! I cant be bothered with the hassle of sending them back they will probably stay in my wardrobe and perhaps be worn as loungewear around the house if I lose a stone but certainly wouldnt wear them out! Ive noticed there are alot of other websites with different names selling the same clothing but basically they will all be from the same sweatshops in China! Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!

Karensims81 · 12/05/2020 12:30

Oh dear it is as i thought..China have us by the short and curlies. They know the rest of the world has no alternative but to buy online atm so they boost their economy even more selling more than usual, the poor quality tat...Thing is it's made even worse being in lockdown because of putting more weight on so even less likely to fit...Never again! However still watch this space- there might be a gem among the rocks..

MollyLollyPops · 12/05/2020 13:28

Thanks so much for the info. I’ll avoid all of the websites then. Gutted for you. Perhaps report them to Pinterest and Facebook.

Karensims81 · 12/05/2020 15:03

Ironically, coming here on this very MN thread discussion, a pop Ad for floryday.com/ comes up!!

warrior1477 · 13/05/2020 22:54

I've purchased stuff from Flory Day and they were beautiful. Stay away from Lotimena and Chic me though. They are the same company and they are a scam company.

mcmooberry · 19/05/2020 11:34

Thank you @AliJack for the warning, the stuff looks very me but I will avoid!

Karensims81 · 27/05/2020 16:51

Hi All

Well, the final package came yesterday and yes, the quality is very questionable to say the least. Not so much the stitching etc, but the style and colour matching exactly as it did on the web. Sizing if anything looks a big bigger that the size I ordered. I was surprised as I thought they would be way smaller. However above all, the issue is the material , none of them advertised as cotton, are cotton. There's a cotton mix being 95% of it is plastic or polyester and a bear min of cotton. Some are virtually plastic to the touch it feels! I might get away with wearing a few things just around the house to save putting them in the recycling bin

Verdict- never again!

MollyLollyPops · 27/05/2020 18:27

Thank you for the update @Karensims81. Gutted for you. Will definitely not be ordering from them.

ReenyG · 29/05/2020 10:12

I ordered £310 worth of clothes from here for my daughters birthday over a month ago. Nothing arrived and the tracking numbers are wrong/not recognised. They refused to give me a refund, so I have had to go through Paypal resolution centre. However, as a single mum my daughter will no longer have any presents until or if it is resolved. I'm so upset about this SCAM SCAM SCAM

Nj123 · 03/06/2020 06:42

I ordered the gorgeous floral dungarees and it never arrived..... I’ve asked for a refund but they are refusing to give me one saying package is being shipped.
Then, when I put in the tracking number it says it does not recognise the number.
So frustrating. Daylight robbery.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE.

crosser62 · 03/06/2020 06:49

Crap.
Crap quality, crap fabric, crap sizing, just crap.
A big bag full of crap arrived through my door, in other words, don’t bother, crap in a bag.
