Our Detailed Review
Rating Guide: ★ Oh no! ★★ Poor ★★★ Fair ★★★★ Good ★★★★★ Excellent!
1. The Store
(a) Selection: ★★★ Up till 2 weeks before Lunar New Year, I was still too busy (with Baby Jae, packing and travelling to Singapore) to buy any new clothes for Vee. Oops! Then I received an email from Petite Berries to review its online store.
After visiting the webstore, a red polo T-shirt caught my attention! I’ve been wanting to get one for Vee who LOVES red but has no red top. Since the owner sources for good quality items that meet European standards, I decided to give the clothes a try.
I chose 2 casual sets, which are from a French brand called Vertbaudet. Included is a pair of jeans, which would be Vee’s first pair. So far, I’ve only dressed him up in pants, instead of jeans. Here are what I chose:
The selection isn’t as wide as a departmental store — good enough for a new webstore. I like that the items are ready-stocks and need no pre-ordering. Hopefully, new items will be brought in regularly.
(b) Ease of shopping: ★★★★ This was my first time choosing clothes online. They were for New Year celebrations, so I was anxious whether they’d fit well and look good on Vee. I like the size charts with detailed measurements.
Navigating around the webstore is relatively easy, with clear product information and images. I found what I wanted rather quickly.
(c) Payment & Delivery: ★★★★ I confirmed my choices on Saturday, the mail was posted out the following day, and reached KL the following Friday. All done within 1 week. Just in time to wash and wear by New Year. Phew!
Delivery charges are very reasonable — free standard delivery within Singapore or via registered post at SGD3 / RM14.50 per order (regardless of number of items ordered!)
To test out the functions of Petite Berries’ webstore, I became a mystery shopper too. Online payment can be made via eNets or Moneybookers (or now known as Skrill) to use your credit card. eNets is common in Singapore, but I am not familiar with Moneybookers. The Moneybookers plugin can’t be loaded on an iPad. You’d also need to create a separate account to use it.
(d) Customer Service: ★★★ The Return Policy states that “products sold are not returnable and not refundable”. I’d prefer if items are exchangeable. What if the clothes don’t fit well?
Otherwise, the owner has been prompt in email correspondence, and even reminded me to wash the red top separately, in case of colour run.
2. The Clothes
(a) Laundry: ★★★ 3 out of the 4 Vertbaudet items wash very well using the washing machine. Even the red top had no colour run.
Caution on the jeans though: the colour still runs after several washes and many rinses.
(b) Design: ★★★★ I like the 100% cotton fabrics that are smooth and comfortable. The pink/white polo T-shirt is relatively thin and great for the hot weather here. The Vertbaudet labels don’t mention where they’re made in.
The Vertbaudet brand includes child-friendly design to help children put on their clothes easily. For instance, the pink/white poloshirt features unique Velcro tabs instead of buttons. Unfortunately, Vee doesn’t like the Velcro tabs scratching him occasionally, so he wears the top with the tabs closed.
The pants and jeans feature snap buttons, which are easy to use and convenient for outdoor toilet-training — I like this!
I also like the adjustable elastic band for the pants and jeans, to give the best fit.
(c) Fit: ★★★★ As mentioned earlier, the detailed sizing chart is very useful. I chose 3 years old size for Vee. Upon trying out the items, the red Polo T-shirt has a much smaller cutting than the pink/white top. He can wear both, but will outgrow the red top sooner.
The pants and jeans fit beautifully.
I asked him to pose with his new clothes and he did this:
Changed to another set and he did his new “stunts” again… Duh!
Oh well, I think he’s better at posing with cloth diapers!
(d) Quality: ★★★★ Overall, these are good quality clothes that are well-sewn.
(e) Overall Value: ★★★★ The red poloshirt with bermuda set retails at SGD39.90. The pink poloshirt with 3/4 jeans set retails at SGD42.90. The price is very attractive for 1 set of well-designed and good quality clothes!
Yes, I’d shop at Petite Berries when Vee needs new clothes in future. For the quality, the price is a huge pull factor. I’d prefer to make payment via eNets instead of Moneybookers (or Skrill) though.
