FAQs
What is The Brown Girl Club?
The Brown Girl Club is the UK's first and only snail mail subscription for South Asian women. Every month, a wax-sealed letter lands on your doormat; a real, honest conversation about the things we feel but rarely say out loud. Culture, identity, expectations, family, careers, and everything in between.
Where is The Brown Girl Club based?
We're based in the UK and currently ship within the UK only.
How is this different from a subscription box?
This isn't a box of products. It's a monthly conversation; something to sit with, reflect on, and feel seen by. There are cosy extras each month, but the heart of it is the letter itself. There's nothing else like it made specifically for South Asian women.
Who is The Brown Girl Club for? Is this for me?
If you've ever felt caught between two worlds, carried expectations you didn't choose, or just wished there was a space made entirely for South Asian women... yes, this is for you. Student, mum, professional, or still figuring it out: you belong here.
Do I have to be South Asian to join?
The Brown Girl Club is created with South Asian women at heart, but any woman who resonates with our values of community, reflection, and intentional living is warmly welcome.
Subscription Information
How much does a subscription cost?
£9.99 a month, including free UK delivery.
What's actually inside each month?
Every month is built around a theme, and everything inside ties back to it:
- A written letter from me to you - honest, relatable, and hopefully funny at times
- A curated Spotify playlist, made exclusively for Brown Girl Club members
- A South Asian recipe card - tried and tested family recipes like Aloo Parathas, Channa Chaat and Cardamom Cookies, including the backstory behind each one
- Keepsake extras - sticker sheets, magnets, bookmarks, quote cards, affirmations and more
When will my letter be sent?
Letters are dispatched on the 22nd of each month. Subscribe before the 20th to catch that month's letter - anything after goes into the following month's dispatch.
Can I get a one-off letter without subscribing?
Yes! Try a one-time purchase before committing to a subscription - check out The May Issue to get started.
What if I don't love it?
We'd be genuinely sad to hear that, but we'd never want you to feel stuck. Cancel anytime - just log into your account before the 20th of the month.
Suggestions & Feedback
I have a suggestion - how do I share it?

About The Brown Girl Club
What is The Brown Girl Club?
The Brown Girl Club is a monthly snail mail subscription created for South Asian women.
Each month, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated envelope through your letterbox — including a personal letter, a chai moment, and small comforting extras designed to help you slow down and feel seen.
Why was The Brown Girl Club created?
I created The Brown Girl Club because I needed it myself.
As a South Asian woman, I often felt like my struggles didn’t fully belong anywhere — too “desi” to explain to others, but too personal to talk about openly.
This is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself.
You’re just understood.
What makes this different?
In a world full of content and scrolling, this is something physical. Personal.
It’s not just a letter — it’s a moment.
A quiet pause in your month where you can sit down, make a chai, and feel like someone truly gets what you’re going through.
What will I receive each month?
Each month, you’ll receive:
• A heartfelt personal letter based on the theme of the month
• A chai sachet to enjoy while you read
• A reflection prompt or affirmation card
• A small surprise item (bookmark, sticker, etc.)
Everything is designed to feel comforting, personal, and intentional.
What themes are explored in the monthly dispatches?
Each month, we explore a different theme — the kind of things we don’t always say out loud.
From navigating marriage and in-laws…
to identity, guilt, burnout, and finding yourself again.
Some months will feel comforting.
Some might hit a little deeper.
But every letter is written to make you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
Subscription Information
How does The Brown Girl Club subscription work?
When you subscribe, you’ll receive a new Brown Girl Club letter every month.
You’ll be billed monthly, and your spot is reserved for each upcoming drop.
When will I be charged?
You’ll be charged when you first subscribe, and then once a month after that.
This secures your place in each monthly drop so you don’t miss out.
When will I receive my first letter?
Letters are dispatched around the 22nd of each month.
If you join before the cut-off, you’ll receive that month’s letter.
If you join after, your first delivery will be the following month.
Can I cancel my subscription?
We accept all major payment methods available through our secure Shopify checkout, including major credit and debit cards. You'll see all available options at checkout. 💳
Can I try it without subscribing?
Yes — you can purchase a one-time letter first if you’d like to try it.
It’s a lovely way to experience it before committing to the monthly ritual.
What’s the difference between subscription and one-time?
Subscription
You receive a new letter every month and stay part of the ongoing experience.
One-time purchase
You’ll receive that month’s letter only - no future deliveries.
Most girlies choose the subscription so they don’t miss future themes.
Is there a cut-off date each month?
Yes — each monthly drop has a limited window until the 20th of the month.
Once that month closes, you’ll automatically be moved to the next available letter.
We do this to keep each drop intentional and manageable — so every order is packed with care.
If you’re thinking about joining, it’s best to secure your spot before the 20th of the month.
Who is The Brown Girl Club for?
Who should subscribe to The Brown Girl Club?
The Brown Girl Club is for South Asian women who feel like they’re always holding everything together…
but quietly feel overwhelmed themselves.
If you’re navigating marriage, family expectations, identity, or just feeling a bit lost — this was created for you.
Do I need to be married to relate to this?
Not at all.
While some themes touch on marriage and in-laws, many letters focus on identity, self-worth, emotional overwhelm, and finding your place.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fully belong anywhere — you’ll relate.
Is this a community or just a product?
It’s both.
While you’ll receive something physical each month, you’re also part of a wider group of women experiencing the same themes, emotions, and moments.
You’re not the only one going through this — and that matters.
Can I gift this to someone?
Yes — this makes a really thoughtful gift.
Whether it’s for a friend, sister, or someone going through a difficult time, it’s a way of saying:
“I see you.”
Suggestions And Feedback
Can I suggest topics?
Of course. This space is as much yours as it is mine.
If there’s something you’ve been carrying, thinking about, or wishing someone would talk about — you can share it here.
Every letter is shaped by the real experiences of women in this community.
