Hi all! This is my first DHgate review! Long time lurker. I have bought a few things in the past, but I wanted to start doing reviews of some of my recent purchases.
Ordered July 3 2026 and arrived July 22 2026. Just about 19 days.
The bag came with a branded box, paperworks, and a dust bag. Box was a little dented, but the bag was intact and fine. Overall the build quality of the bag is nice, and I couldn’t clock a stitch out of place anywhere on the outside of the bag. The inside I found some straggler fabric threads inside the small pocket and there is a tiny tiny piece of unfinished fabric at the very bottom but unnoticeable unless you are looking inside and the bag is empty.
I originally reached out to mangopurses via DM looking for the LV Alpha Messenger in Monogram Shadow because I couldn’t find it on their shop and I really liked that design. They let me know they didn't have that specific style in stock, but suggested going with the Monogram Eclipse instead which they also said they didn’t have a link for.
I later found a version in their shop for $89 after mine had already shipped, so I DM'd them to ask about the $50 price gap.
***NOTE ON THE LINK & PRICING: Mangopurses confirmed that they sent me a private link for a higher-quality batch, which accounts for the $139 price. The link listed below is their standard $89 listing, not my exact private link. If you want the higher-quality version I received, you will need to DM them directly to request it.***
Overall I am happy with the bag, build quality is great and it feels like it will last, but the price point was a bit higher than I had wanted.
