Does a Luluroe consultant start-up kit cost about $5ooo?!

Holy cow! That's insane!

Isn't this the MLM that sells leggings? All the other MLM's I've seen are $150 - 300 to get in and that's in Canadian dollars.

I'm a consultant, and yes, it costs about that much. However, you're purchasing roughly 350 pieces of clothing at wholesale to sell at retail. Many other direct sales models don't have consultants carrying physical inventory, which is why the start up is lower.

That's the kicker - I think if you got in it early, you probably did great.. but dear god I CRINGE when I see LuLaRoe... no more! NO MORE! LOL

I totally agree with this. I think I heard about LLR from here.  There aren't a lot of consultants or whatever near me.  None in my town and maybe 2 in the surrounding couple of towns. 

I think most of their outfits are ugly. There's a vendor show coming up that my cousin keeps bugging me to do. I saw the list of people and there's 3 lularoe people. It seems like everyone I know has a consultant and none of them are the same person. It's nuts.

It's been a thing here for a while. I swear I live in the land of MLMs. When I moved to our house, I had numerous people come to my home with invites to MLM parties.

Isn't there a way to host, but not sell? I have a family member who has had a couple of parties and I don't see how they could possibly afford to be a consultant.

In terms of saturated market -- I've only heard of Luluroe here -- but I don't really know people who wear patterned leggings either.

A hostess just has a party in her house. It wouldn't cost her anything to have the LLR consultant come in and sell to her friends. She likely gets "rewards" for hosting. 

I've not seen one person wearing these here, and no one I know has heard of LLR. I saw a few people wearing the leggings while I was on vacation and I don't get the fascination, but everyone has their own tastes!

As far as your niece goes, is she had a partner, she just put $2500 on her credit card and hoped she sells them fast. That must be why she treats it as her full time job, she has money riding on this or rather debt. 


I've only heard of luluroe here. I would hate to have to carry around product and deal with people trying them on, returns, etc. 

With Lularoe, the styles don't change, just the prints and types of fabrics used.  

And only a limited number (I've seen it quoted as around 1-2K pieces) are made out of each fabric print.  

There is no catalogue.  

For the tops and dresses, one can get away with wearing different sizes for a different look, so if I can only find an Irma Top in the pattern I'm looking for in a size M, even though I normally wear a S, I can buy it and it still looks good - just a more flowing look. 

Host a party. I'm a fan of the product but there's no way on this green earth I'd want to be a consultant, even if I did have that kind of change. It works in a similar vein to other MLM's online parties that are thrown by women who invite their friends. You get free stuff for doing it.

I think it makes it easier, I know how the perfect T fits and what it costs, so I only look at color and what will go with leggings I have.

As for old/ugly stock one man's trash is another man's treasure. I ended up buying dinosaur leggings from a consultant who had been sitting on them for months. She couldn't move them from her stock but I had been hunting for them for awhile and was ecstatic to purchase from her. I have also seen consultants selling to each other wholesale to freshen up inventory.
