Brand FAQs

What is MICAS’s seller name, and do they run any other online stores?  The seller name shown on my PayPal account is Micas. I am unsure if they operate other online stores, but I will update this section if I learn anything new.

What is MICAS’s legal business name?  Unknown. I don’t see anything listed on their website or in my PayPal transaction that looks like a legal business name.

What does MICAS sell & do they carry plus sizes?  They list categories for women’s dresses, tops, bottoms, accessories, and more. They do not appear to carry plus sizes at this time.

Where is MICAS located & what is their business address? According to their Contact page, they are located in Hong Kong. Their business address is – RM 2609, CHINA RESOURCES BLDG – 26 Harbour Rd, Wanchai, Hong Kong, 999077.

Where is MICA’s clothing made & where does their clothing ship from? All of the clothing I received was made in China. My order came from a warehouse in Franklin Park, Illinois (United States).
❌ Read my note here (in the table of contents, click Shipping Qs and see #1) for further explanation on the different locations that come into play when you place an order.

How long has MICAS been in business? According to a domain age-checking tool, their website was created in 2021.

Is MICAS a sustainable brand? According to their About page, their dedication to quality and attention to detail is further supplemented by their commitment to a small-batch production model and the well-being of their workers. This approach helps them craft clothing pieces that last for years to come and represent the modern standard for fashion production. However, due to their complete lack of transparency regarding their alleged sustainability efforts, they likely are greenwashing as a sales tactic. This leads me to believe that they are a fast fashion company.

❌ Read my note here (in the table of contents, click Business Practice Qs and see #4) for further explanation on sketchy sustainability claims.

Hello

I have a few questions about your company as a new customer and want to return both items.

Company questions:
Where is your company based?
Where is your clothing made/ where does it ship from?
How long have you been in business?
Do you sell plus or maternity sizes?

I also wanted to return both items from my order: #xxxxx. Nothing wrong with them, just don’t want them anymore.

1) Button Front Corduroy Mini Skirt

Description: This MICAS skirt is crafted from a blend of 35% polyester and 65% cotton, with a regular fit and no stretch. It is brown in color and not sheer. It is suitable for casual occasions.

  • Color: Brown
  • Size: L
  • Cost: $30.00
  • Expectation: It isn’t quite what I was expecting. The pockets are smaller in person and the material is unbelievably thin and cheap.
  • Quality: The quality is bad.
  • Fit: It is the right size, but it doesn’t fit my body shape well.
  • Value: This skirt is overpriced. I would pay $15 at the most.

Click on the thumbnails below to see the whole image.

Pros

  • None

Cons

  • The material is very thin.
  • The back seam in the center is sewn in a way where it looks wrinkled (not a smooth straight line).
  • This is not a good fit for curvy women.
  • The cost is much too high for how low quality this is.

2) Checked Tweed Shirt Jacket

Description: This MICAS shirt jacket is a casual item that is composed of 100% polyester. It has a loose fit, with no stretch, and is not sheer. The color of this jacket is multicolored but primarily red.

  • Color: Red
  • Size: M
  • Cost: $40.00
  • Expectation: It isn’t quite what I was expecting. The jacket has a lot of yarn sewn in which is easily pulled out and will fray in the wash.
  • Quality: The quality is pretty good.
  • Fit: It fits a bit big.
  • Value: This jacket is overpriced. I would pay $30 at the most.

Click on the thumbnails below to see the whole image.

Pros

  • This is constructed very well. It has a very nice weight to hit, and the texture of the jacket is soft and feels durable.
  • The coloring is gorgeous.

Cons

  • While it feels well constructed, the jacket has actual yarn woven into it. It is craft yarn, which I don’t think will wash well.
  • If you aren’t wearing long sleeves underneath, the material feels a bit itchy.
  • The side pockets are a nice depth, however, they are too far back. This means that when I try to stick my hands in the pocket, it feels a bit awkward and the jacket shifts in an unflattering way if I were to completely relax my hands in the pockets.
  • I accidentally tugged on a string of yarn and I couldn’t easily put it back. This is quite delicate.

Q&A – My Overall Experience

In this section of the MICAS review, I will answer both general and specific questions regarding the company, my order, and my experience as a customer. Keep reading for more!

📦 Order Related

  1. Did the order arrive on time and as expected? Yes, the package arrived within the estimated time frame, and everything in the package is as expected.
  2. Did they let you know when the items shipped and did they provide a tracking number? Yes, they sent me an email letting me know that the order was on the way. This email contained the tracking number.
  3. What is the general quality of the items ordered? Based on my order, I would rate the quality 2.5 out of 5 stars. The quality of MICAS’s clothing is below average. It is hard for me to say definitively though, since I only got two items and they are both quite different in quality.
  4. How accurate is the sizing based on the items ordered? Based on my order, the clothing is true to size (although the jacket is slightly big for my taste). I referenced the size charts.
  5. Were there any issues or discrepancies with the payment? No, my PayPal was charged the expected amount.
  6. Does the clothing have brand tags and sufficient care label information? Yes, the clothing has MICAS brand tags.

📧 Support & Return Related

  1. Was the return request approved? Yes, it was approved 9 days later. Although communication was slow, they provided the return address right away.
  2. Was customer service helpful and did they offer any return/refund alternatives? Yes, they were helpful and they did offer that I keep the items for a small refund.
  3. What country is the return address in and what was the return cost? The return address that they provided to me is in the United States. I paid $8.80 for the return shipping.
  4. Was the refund successful? Yes, I received the agreed-upon refund amount on April 6th.
  5. Did support reach out about any issues with the order? No, there weren’t any issues with the order.

🌐 Company & Site Related

  1. Are they sustainable? I do not believe that they are sustainable despite claiming to be.
  2. Are their prices fair and are they affordable? Based on my order, I think they charge too much for the quality. Affordability-wise, the clothing is overall very affordable. The average cost of a top (based on their best-selling list) is around $24.
  3. Is there anything important to know regarding any of their policies? No.
  4. Do they offer free shipping and other discounts? Yes, they offer free shipping for over $69. They also have coupons available.

Final Verdict

In this section of the MICAS review, I will answer whether this company is legitimate and if I recommend that others shop here. Keep reading for more! Note: If my purchased items arrive, I am able to return the items successfully, and I receive a refund in the agreed-upon amount, I am deeming the company legitimate.

Is MICAS Clothing Legit or a Scam?

Based on my experience, they are legitimate. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, completed a return, and received a refund in the expected amount. The time range for the entire process from the purchase date to the refund date is February 26th to April 6th.

Do I Recommend MICAS?

  • If you are looking for generally affordable and/or okay-quality clothing: Yes, I recommend MICAS.
  • If you are looking for sustainable clothing: No, I do not recommend MICAS.

Although my shopping experience with them is deemed legitimate and has overall been positive, always shop with caution. I urge you to read as many reviews from customers as you can find, in order to make the best decision.

Poll – Vote!

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

I’m considering partnering with a U.S.-based wholesaler and opening a women’s clothing shop. 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 – absolutely no misleading information or price gouging. This shop would likely only be available for U.S.-based shoppers (unless there is international interest).
