Let me start by saying these purses are *adorable* - the mandala designs are eye-catching and each of the 6 bags has a unique pattern. The PU leather feels surprisingly soft, and the zippers glide smoothly. I used one as a makeup bag during a weekend trip, and it held my essentials perfectly.
The DIY process is oddly satisfying! Peeling the protective film and sticking those tiny diamonds (while binge-watching Netflix) became my new stress-relief hobby. The included tools (drill pens, trays) work decently, though I wish the clay glue was less messy.
Now the *big issue* - like other reviewers mentioned, I was shorted about 20% of diamonds needed to complete all patterns. Super frustrating when you're mid-project! Customer service did eventually send replacements after I emailed them photos.
Final verdict? Great for crafty beginners wanting portable projects (each takes ~3hrs), but buy extra diamonds upfront. These make cute gifts *if* you double-check supplies first!
