Is Dear Kate legit?
Is Dear Kate legit? On record — independent trust score 49/100, computed from public data, not paid reviews. Strongest signal: accessible entry price: from $15 (average $50.46). Main caveat: narrow catalog: only 27 distinct products listed. The catalog carries 27 products, and of the 27 we sampled 100% carry an image and 93% a real description. Its own policy page states a 60-day return window. The domain has been registered since 2003 (23 years), not a freshly-made lookalike. The score is down 4 points since we started tracking this store. Recomputed 2026-10-30 from dearkate.com's own public feed and policy pages.
