Customer Reviews
Okay, so I found Tianqingji through its questionable English marketing tactics on YouTube and branding overseas, including the confusing branding between Tianqingji and MSN Craft. I imagine it's due to a language barrier and rebranding, but I can see how many English-speaking customers are wary and skeptical. I also hope Tianqingji steers away from pity marketing in English audio and instead just does ASMR of building their bags.
I admit that I was skeptical until I saw a video of this company releasing a video about how they're not a scam and instead a small workshop of about 20 craftspeople (with Uncle Du) and until I did some digging on r/handbags regarding Tianqingji.
Lately, I've been tempted to buy a real Hermès Birkin bag, which I can definitely afford, but the price range for that bag is enough for a mortgage down payment or even an engagement or wedding ring here in the U.S. (I blame YouTube and social media with its luxury content and advertising.) As a Southeast Asian American woman in the U.S. and because of the field of my work, I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of carrying such an expensive high-end luxury brand like Hermès that would make me a target or make me feel like I'm flaunting my nonexistent wealth when I'm not wealthy like a lot of Hermès returning customers.
I am someone who has bought handbags and purses from high-end contemporary brands like Coach retail/boutique to affordable designer brands like Charles & Keith, Michael Kors, and Kate Spade to real full-grain leather goods at affordable prices like Portland Leather Goods. My most expensive designer handbag thus far would be MCM's Liz totes, which are classic and great for work despite their main materials being built from coated canvas. So, overall, I consider myself a bit of a handbag lover and collector.
I'm blown away by the craftsmanship of this bag and how well it was packaged in its light blue box to protect it from shipping and damage. The $788 USD + sales tax was a lot, but I'm telling you, unwrapping this from the bag filled me with joy and definitely gives a luxurious feeling. This includes a FREE scarf/twilly to wrap one of the handles of the handbag, so the Togo leather of the handles doesn't peel. The Togo leather of the bag is SOFT and feels so buttery smooth that I can't help but keep adoring how soft it is. The craftsmanship of the sangles (obviously inspired by the Birkin and Kelly) is amazing and actually functional with closing the bag because its top is a magnetic closure! The embroidery inside, including an inside zip pocket, a Tianqingji logo and leather-ish plaque for authenticity, and an open pocket, is so amazing. There's also a branded dust bag, and I love how that's crafted and sewn together as well. Best of all, this has a crossbody strap! I'm really blown away by the craftsmanship, and I think I'm a complete fan now and want to buy other bags from Tianqingji in the future and add them to my handbag collection. Best of all, the customer service is great (despite the occasional language barrier and confusion).
My only complaint about this bag is the smell. I've smelt full-grain leather products before from Portland Leather Goods and Coach, and the smell of this bag is a bit...chemical-y and is quite reminiscent of how I've ordered faux leather bags before as soon as I opened the light blue Tianqingji box despite the fact that this bag is indeed made out of leather. I'm assuming it's because of how this bag was stored and had to go through customs and shipping here to the U.S. from Hong Kong, though, since I've experienced something similar with Charles & Keith (which ships from Singapore).
Overall, I really do recommend this bag if you've been looking for a good alternative to Birkin or Kelly but don't want to deal with their fussy flap closure (which every luxury fan has complained about). Plus, hearing the magnetic closure of this bag snap is really satisfying.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to coo over my bag some more and figure out how I can rotate it into this week's activities soon. 😊
It’s a wonderful bag, nicely crafted and colour is suitable for any season. Leather is great quality. I love it!
The bag is wonderful, I love the colour fits nice with every season. The quality of leather is great. It is crafted nicely but I noticed small amount of glue was spilled on the left side of the bag (I assume in the making process), that is impermissible for this price.
Overall love it.
I bought a handbag for my wife as an anniversary gift and she absolutely loves it! The quality of construction and materials is very good- equal to or better than many of the designer handbags I’ve shopped for, and at a fraction of the cost. Well done!
The bag is crafted very well but the color isn’t what I expected, the company is currently helping me change to a different color
