Doublewoot


As promised, here is the review on Doublewoot. Sorry for the delay, needed more time to gather the pictures and information.


Doublewoot is a local online site based in Penang. They used to be a blogshop but they launched their own website this year. The website is simple to view, not too colourful and very informative.


 They also have a facebook page and keep their customers updated with the launch of every collection. They update every Thursday and Sunday. 


Doublewoot is owned by two sisters Helen and Heliene. You can find their pictures posted on their facebook page (see below). They were also featured in local newspaper the Star previously.

Their dresses are simple. Plain colours, straight forward cutting, subtle and nothing fancy. A lot of them are suitable for work wear. They are famous for selling flare dress or also known as skater dress. 


Pastel colours, making a huge wave now

Great photoshopping skill. You can see that from their pictures on facebook. All pictures looked really professional.


They sell most designer inspired pieces from Rouland Mouret, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, Karen Millen to street style Topshop and Dorothy Perkins.


Upon their success in these few years, they now have their own label as well. Here is one of their in house design, Darla.


Darla by Doublewoot - RM70.00
Their prices are average. It used to be cheaper but maybe because of the new website, a lot of dresses are at RM70.00 or more than that. When they were operating via blogshop, most of the time the price are fixed at RM69.00.


I used to be a Doublewoot customer. I purchased quite a few dresses from them but stopped doing so as I slowly see a lot of other online sites selling the same design. No matter how nice a dress is, you would not want to be caught dead in the same dress as another person IN PUBLIC. You can check out Curves Boutique, IIvory Couture, Attire Attic and Pandora DeBoutique. They sell similar designs as well.


But note on the postage! Always remember to calculate postage as cost of your dress! Don’t be lazy to do your math!


Doublewoot is now doing promotion and they are giving free Poslaju delivery and trust me, they post out your order FAST. So if you like their dresses, go and shop your hearts out! 
They also ship internationally. You can find the rates on their website.
Lately Doublewoot have been using celebrity bloggers to promote their site. Good and bad for that. More people knowing means more people buying and that would mean more people wearing the same dress around town. Well, its all up to you, if you really love the design of the dress, why not?


Plus, there is a promotion of RM5 discount now if you key in any of the codes provided in these blogs below. You will need to key in the codes upon checkout at Doublewoot's website.

If you want to fully utilize the discount, buy one and key in one code. Get the RM5 discount. Place another separate order and key in another code, get RM5 discount. Do that till you exhaust out all the bloggers code. Its free delivery as well so DO THE MATH! 


This is such a long post but I hope its helpful!

  2. Apart from being famous, their service has deteriorated. After implementing the e commerce website, payment done but dresses became out of stock (happened few times). Despite having beautiful collection, am thinking they should maintain good service to retain customers as well. I have stopped shopping with Doublewoot for the disappointment I went through a couple of times

  4. I don't like their concept of copying celebrities, we are not them. I would rather pay more than to wear those non-lined and common dresses.
