About CURATEUR

Curateur is a style box membership that specializes in fashion, beauty and luxury home decor. The online service, formerly known as Box of Style, caters to the modern, stylish woman. Curateur offers an extensive collection featuring popular brands such as Anastasia Beverly, Eddie Borgo and Marc Jacobs.

The founder of Curateur, Rachel Zoe, is known for her extensive work with celebrity clients including Keira Knightly, Jennifer Lawrence and Cameron Diaz. With a following of over 72,000 followers on her Instagram channel Box of Style, the company underwent a rebranding process earlier this year.

This Curateur Box review will take an in-depth look at the membership boxes, customer reviews, the luxury collection and other important details to help you decide if this style box is right for you.

Overview of CURATEUR

Curateur, formerly Box of Style, was founded by renowned fashion icon Rachel Zoe. Her background as an American fashion designer helped her thrive as she launched her own companies, including RachelZoe.com and Curateur.

Being used to working with A-list celebrities, Rachel Zoe felt it was important to offer all women the same chic and classy experience. Thus, in 2015, Rachel Zoe Curateur was born, with its headquarters still in Los Angeles.

“My mission has always been to inspire and empower all women to live a life of style, glamor and confidence. CURATEUR will continue this mission by creating a strong community built on the foundation of connectivity and discovery.” Rachel Zoe.

Curateur continues to expand its range of fashion items. In 2020, the style subscription and company name was changed to Curateur, which is French for curator.

How Does CURATEUR Work?

In this Curateur test, it was found that customers can choose between two types of membership plans: the Star and Icon style box. Each box contains four curated products and a fifth that is chosen by customers.

We’ll go into the costs and benefits associated with each of the two boxes to find out which box is best for you.

Curateur Star Style Box
Star Membership requires a quarterly payment of $100 every 4 months. Star members have access to a curation for each season. They can select their favorite pieces and products from the Curateur Shoppe as soon as they are invited.

Curateur Icon Style Box
Icon membership includes a $50 discount for subscribers who prepay $349 per year. Icon members also receive four curations per year and have the added benefit of being the first to receive the products of their choice and the Shoppe and having their orders shipped first.

This Box of Style review shows a simple sign-up process:

Choose one of the two plans on offer
Choose one of the two offers to complete your 5-part seasonal curation, with the option to purchase additional products
Members get access to exclusive content such as rewards programs and other updates throughout the year
Customers can also find news about the hottest brands Curateur carries on Curateur’s blog, The Edit. The Edit also gives shoppers a sneak peek at the season’s latest trends in beauty, fashion, skincare and home goods.

Curateur Winter 2021 Curation

For each season, customers can choose up to 5 items for their Style Box. From fall-themed candles to trendy sunglasses, this Box of Style overview showcases the items featured in the Star and Icon curations for this fall.

Between savoring pumpkin spice lattes, admiring the changing leaves and wrapping up in layers, these stylish pieces will accent your outfits and home decor. Check out the latest subscription items from Curateur:

Apotheke Charcoal Candle

In the cooler months, lighting a candle is the perfect way to set the mood and make yourself comfortable at home. The Apotheke Charcoal Candle is reminiscent of hikes through evergreen pines and warm, cozy campfires. The candle smells of cedar wood, sandalwood and smoky amber and makes you feel like you’re on a camping trip or in a cabin.

With its anthracite-colored, matt holder, this simple, minimalist candle fits in well with the interior design. With an estimated burn time of 60 to 70 hours, you’ll have more than enough time to sit back and relax while this candle glows in the background. The Apothecary Charcoal Candle is priced at $38.

Eddie Borgo Supra Link Necklace

The Supra Link Necklace from Eddie Borgo is a piece of jewelry that goes with practically any outfit. This beautiful link necklace makes a statement without being overbearing. The necklace is made from 12K gold vermeil and has a seamless finish, with the clasp blending in with the tiny interlocking chains.

At 18 inches long, you can wear this necklace as a loose choker of sorts. Use it as a finishing touch to jazz up a pair of jeans, or pair it with a classic black cocktail dress if you’re going for a more elevated look. The Eddie Borgo Supra Link Necklace is priced at $350.

Kat Burki Form Control Marine Collagen Gel

You can always expand your skincare routine. In between your creams, toners, moisturizers and serums, try Kat Burki Form Control Marine Collagen Gel. This anti-ageing formula contains skin cell regenerating, pure algae keratin, while plant-derived hyaluronic acid plumps the skin and visibly smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.

This cruelty-free marine collagen gel moisturizes your skin and gives you a youthful appearance. Your complexion will thank you in the long run. The 1 oz Kat Burki Form Control Marine Collagen Gel has a retail value of $160.

Curateur Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

This curator review resulted in mixed customer experiences. There are some shoppers who were impressed with The Zoe Report seasonal Box of Style curation, “The boxes are SO much more than you pay for (and I say that honestly). I loved everything about this box and can’t wait for the next one to arrive!” One influencer reviewer raves.

Some customers noted that the prices for the items included were quite reasonable. Shoppers were able to grab luxury items at a reasonable price. Box of Style is rated 4.5 stars with over 44 reviews.

Other customers described negative experiences, mainly related to customer service. One major issue that was mentioned most often in this Box of Style review was the cancellation process. Some shoppers stated that they had canceled their subscription only to find that they were charged for another seasonal box and that orders were delayed. On BBB, Curateur customer service seems to be active in trying to resolve customer complaints, even though the company receives an F rating with an average of 23 customer reviews.

Is CURATEUR Worth It?

If you are an avid shopper of big brands like Estée Lauder, Chanel, Benefit or Marc Jacobs, I highly recommend this Curateur curation. I think Curateur is quite unique with its range of clothing, skincare, beauty and home furnishing products. With such variety, it feels like you can get a product for every facet of your daily life.

Curateur is very adaptable to the way the beauty and fashion industry works, as trends fluctuate with each summer, fall and winter season that comes along. With a box for each season, Curateur is right on trend, and I’m very excited to see what the Winter Box of Style will contain in the upcoming season.

Due to the negative customer feedback this Curateur review has uncovered, we recommend proceeding with caution. There could be issues with cancelation and delivery times. But if you fall in love with the pieces you find in The Shoppe at Curateur, this Style Box might be for you!

CURATEUR Promotions & Discounts

This Curateur test found that new members have access to exclusive promo codes when they sign up. Curateur also has a rewards program where referrers receive a $25 credit for each member they bring to Curateur, which is deducted from their renewal payment or add-on purchases. So far, I haven’t found another Box of Style promo code.
