I’m very happy with my bag! Beautiful colors and quality workmanship! I’ll be buying more bags and a hat if I can ever choose! So many terrific options!
Thrilled with my Wuitusu hat. I've been eyeing one for a while. I love that you can select the exact hat that you want. Ordering was easy and customer service was great. Highly recommend!
This bag is an amazing piece of art and a great statement piece. Really easy to pair with jeans and boots or a vintage blazer, joggers and sneakers. Can't wait to get more pieces as holiday gifts!
I saw this hat on Instagram and just had to have one. Although picking out just one was challenging, I finally committed to a colorful yellow, blue, and black combo. The hat arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled to be able to wear it before summer's end. It was a bit tight on my head, but I followed the video instructions, and it was super easy to get the perfect fit and shape for my tastes. Everywhere I go, I get compliments, and I have already decided that I am going to order a few more because each hat is unique and more beautiful than the last. RAVE reviews! I'm almost reluctant to tell anyone where I purchased the hat, but I'm spreading the word far and wide because the proceeds benefit the talented weavers and artisans.
It’s not only exceptionally well made it beautiful!
I picked one that will work with my mostly black wardrobe . It’s perfect for farmers market and everyday!
I saw this in the window as I was walking hy and fell in love. After purchasing it, I am pleased to say that the hand made craftsmanship is extraordinary! Not only is it beautiful and functional, I feel happy just carrying it. It's soft and vibrant, and holds a lot of my necessities! I truly adore this bag!
I absolutely love my black coverup & beach bag.
The quality is amazing, I was asked numerous times where I bought My Outfit! Capri loves Wuitusu ~ so do I.
Every year for my birthday I buy a special hat
I am so pleased with the quality and fit of me new hat
It was packaged perfectly
The colors are so vibrant
And it’s definitely a statement piece
Hats on
Vibes on
This bag is simply gorgeous!!! So well made. The color is so cool, great for the summer. One thing though, the strap needs to be longer. The strap is very short. I'd definitely, definitely, definitely pay more for a longer strap. Stunning work.
They are so beautifully made. Going to order two more. I have two already. They are the perfect birthday gift!.
the hat is beautiful, but the color of the sash was not what I expected. The color is way off. I wish I could exchange it for another color
