Deux Lux Mystery Box Review – May 2015

Hi Liz,
Is there a review page for the June Deux Lux Travel Mystery Box? I received mine this morning and want to review it. Thanks!

I will definitely do this again! I am very very happy with my items!

Omg, I am so upset I missed this! If there’s another one I will definitely be buying. I love everything you got!

Just got my box in and I’m just ok with it. All my items came very well packaged(def. brand new, wrapped up in plastic & paper), with 1 green & white dust cover that says deux lux on it & 2 beige ones with a gold dog print on it. I received the Essex mini messenger in sand(retail 115$) this piece is super nice with gold trim & a gold chain & leather? as part of the adjustable strap, Ravello Wristlet in black, this piece actually has 3 crystals on the front & is striped w/ black, red & beige (retail-70$) the front is striped and the back is all black leather, & lastly Taj Pouch in Natural, this looks like a huge makeup bag! I mean huge! It has a geometric design to it and gold & a very dark purple in these triangular designs & of course it’s a beige, it also has pockets in it (retail-65$). These pieces are all nice but quite frankly I really can’t use any of the because I’m disabled & have to take meds & I need something I can fit my medicine bottles in. I was definitely hoping for a satchel or backpack, just something with some room that also has a strap!! I do feel like it was worth the 50$ though!

Wow, I’m impressed with the value! Wish I had bought one now! Hopefully they do this again soon!!

I only had 2 items, the black downtown pouch and a blue havana messenger, which arrived in the biggest UPS box in existence – with dusters – but it took over a week to get here. Honestly I didn’t know UPS was capable of being that slow.

I e-mailed them about the missing third item. I do really like the messenger, it’s the same style that Liz got but just tinier. Not sure I like/have a use for the pouch, I love the royal purple interior but since the pouch isn’t very sturdy it doesn’t seem to be used for much more than a tablet, or possible makeup storage?

Oh Liz, I LOVE your Havana tote – it’s SO me! Here’s what I received: Elle tote in hunter with pink trim ($70,) the Downtown wallet in white ($58) and the Anguilla card case in ecru ($35.) Even though what I received isn’t quite my style, I do agree that the workmanship is excellent and I would definitely try for one of these mystery boxes again in the future.
I am going to either gift or try and swap these.

My bags came folded together as one, wrapped with one piece of tissue paper, and squeezed in a small UPS box. No dusters, no tags attached. I guess if you got tags and dust bags, then you were the lucky ones! Lol! I received: wanderlust backpack in raspberry, black karma wallet/wristlet (with two huge green and burgundy felt tassels) and a card case. Not my style at all. Disappointed.

I got the same items except instead of the card case I got the Havana make up case in brown. Not my style but I was able to trade my 3 items for something on my swap wish list. I did like some of the bags others got, so maybe i will get to swap for one.

I so love my two boxes! Everything was packaged so nice and in pretty dust bags that all matched.
In the first box I received
1. Dreamer messenger bag in black retail 90.00
2. Anguilla Wallet in peach retail 55.00
3. Ziggy Card case in gunmetal retail 30.00

In the second box, I received
1. Elle large tote in Peacock retail 75.00
2. Anguilla Cosmetic bag in ecru retail 38.00
3. Anguilla card case in green retail 35.00
I was hoping for a large tote, a nice wallet, and hoping to get items in the green/teal color family. So I am thrilled. If they have another sale next year I am so buying two more.

I am so happy with what I received! I got the Elle tote in Peacock (a beautiful teal with pink lining and a removable leather tassel – so chic!) and a cosmetic case in the anguilla (tropical birds) pattern in the green color. My two items look beautiful together, so I’m using the anguilla case to tote my travel cosmetics inside of my new purse. I started using them immediately out of the box! I was worried I wouldn’t get something my style, but I was so pleasantly surprised. My value was much lower than yours ($65 for the tote and $38 for the cosmetics case), but they were both packaged beautifully in the fabric pouches and I am so happy with the curation of my box. I didn’t expect the two items to work together so perfectly! Deux Lux just made a lifetime fan.

I didn’t get one of these, but I believe that it said that the items would come from their sale list. when I looked, I saw some things that I really liked, especially the purses. I also noticed luggage tags, key rings, card cases and jewelry that wasn’t my taste. Since they didn’t guarantee that you would get at least one purse or other high value item, i was afraid that I would get a key ring, a luggage tag and an ugly piece of jewelry. Looks like I should have taken a chance but I’ve had bad experiences with mystery boxes in the past. I’ll try next time.

Okay, I looked up sample sale and I guess it does qualify under the definition.

I got two boxes:
1. Bucket hobo in Black
2. Bucket hobo in Cognac
3. Ziggy card case
4. Shiny Rose card case
5. Dreamer clutch (big one – apparently you’re suppose to fold it)
6. Ravello wristlet

Except for the rose card case, each had a dustbag and all were packaged nicely.

I was hoping for 2 different styles of bags instead i got same bag in 2 colors.

I like the value for these items..I’m not complaining. However, I thought sample sale items are supposed to be very new items..items to test on the public..items used for shows, etc. All of these items appear to be old stock and discounted, usually (except for the anguilla line). It seems like deceptive marketing to dump old stock and calling it mystery box sample sale.

All my items arrived in dusters with tags. The Mykonos tote did not have a price on it and was wrapped in the same duster as Liz’s. The 2 Anguilla items arrived in the ivory bag with the gold logo. I’m happy with my items. I already posted on the other thread so quick comments.

1. Anguilla Cosmetic Case in Green – I gave this to my sister who loves it.

2. Anguilla Card Case in Peach – I will use this.

3. Mykonos clear tote in white – This will be useful in the summer.

I noticed that the Anguilla line is full price on the Deux Luxe website and the Mykonos tote is clearanced out on other websites. Maybe the dusters represent different years?

I bought two boxes also, but I received one big box with six items and lots of paper – no dust bags, covers, plastic bags or any other covering or protection. Everything was in perfect shape, but I wonder if Liz got special treatment.

I am kind of disappointed because none of mine came with the dust bags :(. The items are very good quality but they were wrapped all together in one piece of tissue with no tags and no dust bags. Oh well, I guess that is the risk with getting mystery boxes. I got the Wanderlust tote in navy/orange and a nice wallet and card holder. I will be able to swap the items so I am not too worried but would have loved the little extra touch of the dust bags.

I have mixed feelings about the bags I received. I got a large black perforated pleather clutch, a green iridescent card case and a very small handbag in a raffia style design like Liz’s largest bag. While I mostly like everything (the card case will go to my daughter; shapeless clutches don’t ever seek to get used in our house no matter in whose closet they’re stored). I wouldn’t have paid $50 for the 3. I feel like those who purchased later got whatever was left since 2/3 of my selections are no longer listed in their store. I saw a lot of people getting bucket bags and was really hoping for one, too. I think this was one of those mystery boxes that you needed to get in on early to get the best value.

I think I’d like to try this one! I’m a purse addict lol

I bought two boxes! I received the Shinjuku messenger in black, too! And my other bigger bag didn’t have a name on its bag or tag, but it looks like a bucket bag in the the Downtown style, in black. It has a purple lining instead of the ususal Deux Lux lining and rose gold accents. This is my favorite piece! The only problem is that I already have a nice black bag – and it was a gift from my boyfriend. There’s a decent chance he’ll be insulted if I show up with a new black bag. (Any other color!! … well… almost any.)
I also received three Anguilla (the pattern with the birds) items. One wallet in peach, one cosmetic case in ecru, and one card holder in hunter. Finally I got one Ziggy card holder in Jade.

The dust cases mine came in were like Sara’s, beige with the gold emblem. Either way, the dust case is a nice touch.

I am pleased with the quality of most of these bags. I didn’t get any of the lines I was really hoping for (Mod, Dottie, Mayfair) but I don’t think anybody did so I guess they weren’t in the mix. Oh well. I do really like the Downtown bucket bag and plan to keep it, one of the card cases, and maybe the wallet. The others are going up for trade, as they’re just not my taste.

I seriously loved everything I got.
I’m DEFINATELY doing it again if they do it.

I got the Havana tote in white.
A pouch that is see through with white and blue lace
And a Blush-pink card case with sequin lace

I really wish I had purchased this box when I had had the chance! I am definitely going to get it the next time around!

I really like the tote, wish I bit on thus lol!

I LOVED my mystery tote…i received the elle drawstring messenger in snow {I did put it up for swap bc I’m not a “snow” (it’s white) kind of purse girl}, but the bag is GORGEOUS! Hoping to swap for another deux lux bag {preferably anything with the bird on it}. Also received the Downtown Pouch in mint {not up for swap bc I’m going to use this as a summer clutch!} and it seems like most of us received a ziggy card case…mine is gold & will look perfect in my Downtown Pouch! I’m getting TWO mystery bags next time!
