Here are the sample reveals from Liz Lisa's blog
The package
This was an interesting site to see. I guess the luggage wheels punctured the box. Tenso is usually good with packaging but this box was too tall for the product. They should've put more padding. I'm glad the wheels weren't badly damaged
Mini Trunk
Fur Coat
Plaid Onepiece
Camisole
I've been buying Liz Lisa since 2007 and had never had a problem with the quality of their products. When I took out the top from the plastic wrap, I noticed the left strap was defective. The strap is sewn on the wrong way making the strap twist. The picture on the right is how the strap is supposed to look. Maybe the seamstress was overwhelm due to timeline schedule for fukubukuro. Maybe the warehouse packer was oblivious to the strap. Who knows but I don't know if I should head down to ask my local tailor to fix this or sell this for $5 haha.

Overall
The trunk is gorgeous. I'm hoping they make a bigger version next year! I love everything except the defective camisole. It's a bit of a downer but you can't really notice it unless I pointed it out? Maybe I'll deal with it and just hide it under my clothes haha. If anyone wants it though for $5 let me know haha.
