About Luxury Item Reviews
Luxury Item Reviews is an independent publication. We purchase every product we review at retail, with our own funds — never gifted, never sponsored. We live with each item for a minimum of four weeks before a single word is written, then score it across twelve weighted criteria that are identical for every product in a category.
No score is ever for sale. When we earn an affiliate commission it is disclosed, and it never influences a ranking. Read how we test for the full methodology.
