  2. Do they claim to be sustainable? They don’t state anything on their site regarding efforts in sustainability, or ways that they give back to the community. Read this article, 13 Easy Ways To Know If A Brand Is Fast Fashion by Panaprium, for tell-tale signs of a fast fashion company.
  3. Do they offer free shipping? They offer free shipping for over $69.

In this section of the review, I will be thoroughly reviewing each item I ordered and will provide detailed information about the shipment and return/refund process. Keep reading for more!

Review

I ordered the below items on 2/11/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $74.66 to Flamingo Technologies LLC via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *FLAMINGOTEC”. – View Order Confirmation 

1) 90s Vintage Classic Flare Hem High Waist Jeans

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Navy Blue / L / $23.99
  • Country: Unknown
  • Material: According to the product description, they are 70% Cotton, 28% Polyester, and 2% Spandex.
  • Description: These jeans are extremely thin, and have a somewhat crinkly texture. The legs run long.
  • Expectation: They are VERY different from what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. In person, the color is much darker, the rise seems lower, the rinse and markings don’t seem to be there at all, and the thread color looks different.
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is terrible. The material feels as thin and crinkly as paper. They are comparable to a pair of jeans you might find at one of those no-name stores at a strip mall.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and they fit well. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Value: In my opinion, no amount of money makes these jeans a good deal. I would donate them even if they were free.

2) Solid Slant Pocket Double Breasted Coat

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Mocha / M / $22.99
  • Country: Unknown
  • Material: The product description states 100% Polyester. The care label, however, states 65% Cotton, and 35% Polyester.
  • Description: The material is soft and fairly thin for a coat. The material is akin to crafting felt fabric. It is a straight fit.
  • Expectation: It is VERY different from what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. The material is shockingly low quality, it is more orange-colored in person, and it feels like I’m wearing a blanket rather than a coat.
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is terrible. It is comparable to a coat you might find at one of those no-name stores at a strip mall.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it is the right size but doesn’t fit my body shape well. It is a straight fit, and I am more curvy. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Value: In my opinion, no amount of money makes this coat a good deal. I would donate it even if it was free.

3) Plus Lace Up Front Cami Denim Mini Dress

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Gray / M / $20.99
  • Country: Made in China
  • Material: 73% Cotton, 23% Polyester, 2.5% Rayon, and 1.5% Spandex
  • Description: The dress feels stiff, and the material is like a thin and stretchy denim.
  • Expectation: It isn’t quite what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. In person, the color is slightly more grey-looking, and the tie in the front is ridiculously short.
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is terrible. The seams are extremely crooked. It is comparable to a dress you might find at one of those no-name stores at a strip mall.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits about one size too big. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Value: In my opinion, no amount of money makes this dress a good deal. I would donate it even if it was free.

4) Solid Knot Front Fleece Tank Top & Shorts PJ Set

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Apricot / M / $14.99
  • Country: Unknown
  • Material: According to the product description, it is 70% Polyester, and 30% Cotton.
  • Description: This pajama set is really soft and stretchy. The material is very similar to those cheap fuzzy fashion gloves you might find at Forever 21.
  • Expectation: It is what I was expecting, for the most part, in terms of overall appearance. The top looks a little bit shorter in person.
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is mediocre. One of the legs is slightly longer than the other, and the top straps are not durable. It is comparable to a pajama set you might find at Charlotte Russe or Ross.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and the top fits a bit big, and the bottoms are one to two sizes too small. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Value: In my opinion, this pajama set is fairly priced (the quality isn’t great, but the price is pretty low).

Is Flamingo Legit or a Scam?

In this section of the review, I will check their site for originality, discuss any suspicious information found, answer whether this company is legitimate or not, and let you know my recommendation. Keep reading for more! 

Plagiarism & Analysis

According to Copyleaks (premium), the below plagiarism is detected:

Additional Notes:

  • I noticed some incorrect grammar such as, “…Yet instead of creating a fancy brand and charge you extra for the quality you already deserve…”. This could be indicative of an overseas-run shop.

Do I Recommend Flamingo?

Based on my experience, they are a legitimate site. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, successfully completed a return, and received a full refund.

With that being said, I personally would not shop here again.

To start with the positives, customer service was very fast and to the point. They were no-nonsense, and I was able to return my items quickly. The clothing (while poor quality) is also very affordable.

Now, for the negatives. They misrepresent their clothing both through the product images and descriptions (such as listing false material information), and the clothing quality overall is atrocious. I would, without hesitation, donate all of it. 

If you choose to shop here, always shop with caution. I urge you to read reviews by other customers as well.

Poll – Vote!

Question: If I opened a women’s clothing store on reviewmycloset.com, would you be interested in shopping?

Each item would be hand-selected, and personally reviewed by me (I would leave an honest and helpful review on every single product page). Items that don’t get my seal of approval would never get listed. Honesty and transparency are non-negotiables.
