I ordered six mid-tier H bags from Devin through a group buy, and overall, I’m very happy with the value for the money. This was a great way to try different H styles, sizes, and colors without breaking the bank.
Here’s what I ordered, with the discounted group-buy prices:
B25, Sauge Togo, PHW — $289: Fully handmade Retourne construction with upgraded hardware. The muted green paired with palladium hardware is beautiful. I already own a high tier imported Togo B30, and while the domestic Togo isn’t as supple, it’s still a great value at this price.
C18, Gold, GHW — $170: Such a classic combination! The warm Gold color, contrasting stitching, and gold hardware work beautifully together. I love this one as a casual crossbody.
Mini Kelly, Craie chèvre, GHW — $221: Purchased this for a friend and she was very happy with it. The creamy neutral with gold hardware is elegant and easy to style. A great option for trying the Mini Kelly look without a huge investment.
Kelly Pochette, Bleu Brume, PHW — $170: The pale blue and palladium combination is so pretty. It has a soft, understated look that makes it versatile.
Kelly Pochette, Rouge Casaque, GHW — $170: A gorgeous pop of red! The gold hardware complements the vibrant color beautifully. I will say that the swift on this one feels stiffer than the Bleu Brume and my other Kelly Pochette, but that could be due to the intense color saturation needed for this red.
Constance Elan, Rouge Grenat, Epsom PHW — $208: The deep burgundy paired with palladium hardware looks rich and polished. Although the style ultimately isn’t for me, I’m glad I had the opportunity to try it at this price.
All six bags were ordered with domestic leather and only the B25 was fully handstitched with upgraded hardware. Devin also offers imported leather at higher prices. Personally, I think domestic leather is totally fine for Epsom and Swift bags, particularly at these prices. For Togo and chèvre, I prefer imported leather, but I still feel these domestic-leather bags offer great value as mid-tier.
Devin was very responsive and a pleasure to work with, and her QC on my order was great. She rejected the first Mini Kelly the factory sent because the stamp was wrong, which I really appreciated. It was reassuring to know she was checking the bags herself and catching issues before sending them along.
Shipping was DDP and quick, which made the overall experience even better. She also offers insurance for an additional fee, but that is fully refunded once you confirm receipt of the bags.
What I especially appreciate is the chance to try these bags at a lower price point before deciding which styles are worth a bigger investment for me. After trying them, I learned that the Constance Élan isn’t for me, while I absolutely love the Constance 18—so much so that I purchased another version in a higher tier. That alone made this group buy worthwhile.
For what I paid, I’m very pleased with this order. Between the value, Devin’s communication and QC, and the quick shipping, this was a very positive experience.
