Brand FAQs
What is Rosewe’s seller name, and do they run any other online stores? The seller name shown on my PayPal account is Rosewe.com. Referencing the question below, they also operate Modlily (click on the linked brand to see my review). Interestingly, I asked Rosewe’s customer support about affiliation with Modlily, and they denied it several times. I then pointed out that both sites list the same legal business name, and THEN they said yes.
What is Rosewe’s legal business name? According to a marketing email, their legal business name is The Rosewe Group Ltd. According to their About page, HONGKONG RUJING E-COMMERCE CO., LIMITED is their legal business name. And finally, according to their Terms of Use page, they list Hongkong Yuzhen E-commerce Co., Limited as their legal business name. I am not sure why there are three legal business names associated with this shop.

What does Rosewe sell & do they carry plus sizes? They list categories for women’s swim, dresses, tops, jumpsuits, bottoms, jewelry, accessories, and more. They carry plus sizes up to 4XL (US 22W) in some clothing.
Where is Rosewe located & what is their business address? According to their FAQ page, they are located in China.
Where is Rosewe’s clothing made & where does their clothing ship from? Three out of four items in my order were made in China. The fourth item does not have a care label, so I cannot confirm. My package came from a warehouse in Cedar Grove, New Jersey (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 Rosewe been in business? According to their About page, their business began in 2011. However, according to a domain age-checking tool, their website was created in 2013.
Is Rosewe a sustainable brand? Since they don’t state anything on their site regarding efforts in sustainability, or ways that they give back to the community, it is likely that they are not ethical and are fast fashion.

Q&A – My Overall Experience
In this section of the Rosewe 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
- Did the order arrive on time and as expected? Yes, the package arrived within the estimated time frame, and the items arrived as expected.
- 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. They provided the tracking number.
- What is the general quality of the items ordered? Based on my order, I would rate the general quality of Rosewe’s clothing 2-2.5 out of 5 stars, which is mediocre. In other words, the only way I would purchase this clothing is if it was cheaply priced.
- How accurate is the sizing based on the items ordered? Based on my order, the items are true to size. I referenced the size charts.
- Were there any issues or discrepancies with the payment? No, my PayPal was charged the expected amount.
- Does the clothing have brand tags and sufficient care label information? No, none of the items have Rosewe brand tags. Regarding the care labels, three of the four garments have standard care labels. The fourth garment does not have a care label attached.
📧 Support & Return Related
- Was the return request approved? Yes, it was approved instantly, through their return portal.
- Was customer service professional and easy to deal with? While I didn’t need to deal with them for the return since they have an automated return portal, I did reach out to them via instant chat. I asked about their affiliation with Modlily and they denied it numerous times. After mentioning that their legal business name was the same on both sites, they then said yes. That is pretty unprofessional and sketchy.
- Did customer service offer any return alternatives? I, unfortunately, cannot go back and see, but I believe they offered store credit as an option.
- What country is the return address in and what was the return cost? Referencing the prepaid return label provided to me, the return address is in Cedar Grove, New Jersey (United States). As for the return cost, I paid $3.99 at check out for free return care, so the prepaid return shipping was free.
- Was the refund successful? Yes, I received the full refund amount minus the return care cost I purchased and the shipping insurance charge.
- Did support reach out about any issues with the order? No, there weren’t any issues with the order.
🌐 Company & Site Related
- Are they sustainable? I do not believe that they are sustainable.
- Are their prices fair and are they affordable? Based on my order, I think they overall charge too much for the quality. Affordability-wise, the clothing is overall very affordable. The average cost of a top is around $24.
- Is there anything important to know regarding any of their policies? When placing an order, they charge an insurance fee. Also, beach blankets, swimming rings, sunglasses, jewelry, hair accessories, and items marked on their product page as “No returns or exchanges” are non-refundable.
- Do they offer free shipping and other discounts? Yes, they offer free shipping for over $69. They do have coupons available.
Final Verdict
In this section of the Rosewe 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 Rosewe Legit or a Scam?
Based on my experience, they are legitimate. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, was successfully approved for a return, and mailed the package. I received a full refund (minus the original shipping insurance cost and free return care option I opted for) on July 12th.
Do I Recommend Rosewe?
I have a mixed opinion. Starting with the positives: Their shop is overall fairly inexpensive, I received my items fairly quickly (it took 8 days), the return process was very fast and easy (they have an easy-to-use return portal that is instantaneous), I received my refund shortly after my return package delivered to them, their return address is domestic (in the United States), and they offer free shipping over a certain amount.
Now for the negatives: The quality of the clothing I received is pretty mediocre (if the prices matched the quality, I’d be okay with this but that was not the case for me), I found a lot of plagiarism such as About page content and what appears to be stolen reviews from other sites, some mismatching material composition information (discrepancy between what is listed on the site vs. what is shown on the tag), my interaction with their support team via their instant chat was really sketchy (they lied about not being affiliated with Modlily), they use AI altered images which can make it difficult to know what the clothing really looks like, and they likely are not sustainable due to their lack information about it.
Given this information, I personally would not shop here again due to their overall dishonesty as a company. However, if you are looking for fairly cheap, acceptable-quality clothing, you may be happy shopping here! I urge you to read as many reviews from customers as you can find, 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).
