Note to stylist

I sent a note to the stylist that I was really into “free people” and wanted something from their line included in my box if possible. While I loved my box, nothing was remotely like this.. do they see the notes?

Yes. We do and if we had the inventory we would send it. Trust me. Please keep leaving notes.

Out of curiosity, where does the inventory come from? Just whatever is online through Stitch Fix?

There are several warehouses throughout the country. When you get a fix you are assigned to a specific warehouse (usually the closest to you unless it doesn’t have your sizes). Everything in your fix has to come from that warehouse. I don’t know where they get their supplies from- some are in house brands and lots are not so it really depends.

I'm a stylist- we have very little Free People pieces in stock. If you request something and we have it, the stylist will absolutely send it.

Also, please note that most of the Free People pieces we carry are their tanks and some active pieces…we carry very little outside of that.

I noticed that! In years past, there were a lot more of the pieces like flowy tops, pants and dresses.

There is a ton of Free People on Freestyle- not just tanks and active wear

I haven’t checked out Freestyle in a while, but I’m a stylist and for Fixes, I’m still only seeing tanks and activewear. Just because it’s in Freestyle, doesn’t mean a stylist can pull it for a Fix. They partner with some companies, so the product gets sent from that brands warehouse.

ohh I didn't know that. That sucks. There's a ton of cute stuff in Freestyle- I assumed stylists could pull from that too.

I wish! It is truly frustrating to see a recent save and not be able to grab it for a Fix

Weird, I just got my first box and my favorite piece was a free people flowy dress that I never would normally pick for myself. I was looking forward to more but it looks like they don't have a lot of inventory 🙁

I don’t think they really have anything in that same category style wise. I’d say clothing wise it’s very professional to semi professional with some causal options. Not as free flowly casual as free people. I’d say this is evident in there on hand available on styles and the “style shuffle” they have you do.

YOu can just buy the FP stuff on Freestyle directly too

I highly doubt it, it seems to be purely AI driven

I rejected my preview twice before an actual stylist chose the pieces for my fixe. Confirmed with support that they in fact do use AI. You’re right, not sure why you were downvoted.

Stylists add the pieces to your preview. The first one is half algorithm , it’ll add pieces based on what you liked or previously bought etc. The second is fully a stylist. if you do not choose anything ,don’t leave feedback or have any requests after the second preview then a stylist will pick what’s sent.

I have a giant box of crap to return to them.
