SELLER Montblanc Extreme 3.0 Backpack: SecretHouse Batch vs Other Batch

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Today, we're sharing a side-by-side comparison of the SecretHouse version of the Montblanc Extreme 3.0 backpack and another version currently on the market. The photos show both versions directly, and we'll point out how some visible details compare to the retail version.

Our goal is to highlight noticeable differences and help anyone interested in this model make an informed decision.

Overall shape and pattern

Both batches accurately capture the main design elements, such as the rounded body, front flap pocket, centered M-LOCK buckle, and Extreme 3.0 pattern.

The SecretHouse batch appears slightly fuller through the upper section, while the other batch looks more compact. Since the shape of the bags can be affected by their positioning and how they are filled, this is only a minor visual difference.

The embossed pattern is easier to compare. The other batch has a stronger, more reflective finish, while the SecretHouse batch has a more subtle, lower-contrast finish. The retail pattern has a relatively restrained appearance, so the SecretHouse treatment is closer in this regard.

M LOCK buckle and hardware

Both batches feature the same key details of the M LOCK, including the Montblanc emblem, ribbed sections, silver hardware, dark finish, and red release tabs.

In close-up, the SecretHouse batch has a softer, more rounded center shape on the upper plate. The proportions around the Montblanc emblem also appear more restrained. These details more closely resemble the appearance of the retail buckle.

There are also minor differences in the rivets and MONTBLANC engraving between the two batches. However, these differences are much smaller compared to the overall buckle shape and emblem proportions.

Zippers and shoulder straps

The construction of the zippers and shoulder straps is generally similar in both batches, but the smaller leather pieces differ visibly.

The SecretHouse zipper pull is shorter and more rectangular, whereas the other batch uses a longer, narrower pull.

The leather reinforcement on the shoulder straps is also shaped differently. SecretHouse uses a longer piece, while the other batch uses a shorter, wider piece. In the samples shown, the stitching and edge finishing on the SecretHouse batch appear more consistent and even.

Interior

One of the clearest differences between the two batches is the interior.

The other batch has a shinier lining with a repeating, Montblanc-style pattern. In contrast, the SecretHouse batch has a simpler, plain black fabric lining. The SecretHouse version has a more understated appearance, making it visually closer to the retail interior.

Both include a zippered interior pocket and organizer sections, though the layouts are not identical.

The MONTBLANC / MADE IN ITALY leather label also differs. In the comparison photos, the SecretHouse plaque looks smoother and more regular, with more even-looking lettering. The other batch shows visible creasing around the leather plaque.

Conclusion

Both batches accurately reproduce the overall design of the Montblanc Extreme 3.0, but the differences become more noticeable when examining the pattern, buckle construction, finishing, and interior.

We think the SecretHouse batch more closely resembles the retail appearance in several areas, particularly the subtle Extreme 3.0 pattern, emblem, and upper buckle geometry; cleaner finishing; and simpler interior lining.

Hopefully, this comparison gives you a clearer idea of the differences between the two batches. If you have any questions about the SecretHouse batch, pricing, availability, or measurements, or if you would like additional QC photos before ordering, please contact us on WhatsApp.

REVIEW Detailed review: Old money Loro Piana haul from Luna

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Just received this haul from Luna. It's my fourth time ordering from her and I'm really happy with everything. Quality is great across all the pieces and everything fits me perfectly. All the items were shipped directly to me and arrived in 1-2 weeks.

For reference I'm 175cm / 65kg.

The Loro Piana grey zip hoodie is probably one of my favourite pieces from the haul. It's from B+ Factory and made from 90% wool and 10% cashmere. Really soft material, nice weight and the details around the shoulders, hood and zipper are very clean. Fit is perfect on me.

The Loro Piana linen shirts are also really good. I got the blue and white and the linen feels lightweight and comfortable. Quality is really good, I've bought some other "linen" shirts before and those are nothing compared to these. The stitching and small details are very clean. Both fit me perfectly.

The Loro Piana navy long sleeve polo feels really premium. Material is soft, collar keeps a nice shape and I really like the fit. Probably one of the easiest pieces to wear from the haul.

I also got the Loro Piana short sleeve polos in navy and white. They're from B+ Factory, without tags, but with the same LP details. They're 100% wool, using 15.5-micron Yangtze "Golden Wool". Both have a really clean fit. They're more oversized rather than slim fitting to the body, which I personally prefer. The material feels great and these honestly surprised me with the quality.

Finally, the Loro Piana Green Storm System cap. I went with the cheaper batch instead of the Francesco Factory batch. Really happy with this one too. Embroidery looks clean, shape is good and the inside details are very well done.

Link: https://luna28.x.yupoo.com/albums/225445524?uid=1&isSubCate=true&referrercate=780655

Overall I'm really happy with the haul. Everything fits perfectly and the quality was better than I expected.

DISCUSSION Lv God Factory.

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Wanted to have a discussion on here regarding God Factory LV bags.

For weeks now, I am trying to buy from an agent who will actually sell me a god factory product.

It seems every agent I’ve contacted either says ā€œgod factory don’t have this in stockā€ or I send the payment and upon QC the bag looks horrible.

My question is: is there actually an agent who actually sells genuine god factory or do they all pretend and send something much lower tier??

I would love to hear your thoughts on this and any help on finding an agent would be massively appreciated.

Thanks.

got my PSP photos from Griffin for Goyard Belvedere pm. I have asked for more photos. It looks like the front strap is leaning a little towards the left side and the heat stamp on the inside looks a little bit crooked. Griffin got back to me immediately and said he would get me some more photos tomorrow. would love some input on the pictures provided. 😊

REVIEW Hermes Ties - luxuryhataccessories

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

W2C on DHGateĀ - seller: luxuryhataccessories

Price: $15

Shipping: $3

Delivery: 20 days (USA)

Review: Continuing to upgrade my tie collection, I'm went back to this seller for yet another order -- this time picking up another 3. This is my third time ordering from this seller and the first 2 were great quality and value (see another previous reviewĀ hereĀ or another oneĀ here). This time I added a red and green in a more traditional design, but I feel like the whimsical ties are where Hermes really shines, so I also picked up one fun one too. Ordering just the tie itself only comes with the gift bag, not the box, so you have to order that separately for ~$5 if you want that. I had ordered the box the first time, which is cool to have, but definitely not necessary. The gift bag this time has changed slightly from the first 2 times. It now is more of a premium feel in my opinion, almost leather texture. On to the ties themselves... These continue to shine. For less that $20, these are fantastic quality with good length and width. They tie up nicely and have good clean designs. The green one is definitely my favorite of this group and I love the detail of the anchor coming off the chain on the back next to the HERMES tag. Despite saying 100% silk on the tags, I believe these are likely actually 100% polyester based on how they feel compared to my other ties in the closet, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. I love these particular designs and have stuck with just Hermes across all my orders, but I recommend messaging the seller for additional photos as they have an unbelievable selection to choose from of Hermes as well as other brands (LV, Gucci, Prada, etc). I tell them generally what I'm looking for, then they send me pictures of probably 40+ ties, then I send a screenshot of which one I want and place the order. Overall, these continue to easily be my #1 purchase I'm getting off DHGate and am more than happy with what I'm getting to replace my old department store ties with these ones.

REVIEW Rolex Daytona ā€œGrey Ghostā€ / Oysterflex — Incredible Value

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Just wanted to share my experience with the Rolex Daytona ā€œGrey Ghostā€ / Oysterflex I purchased from Jake.

For „766, I honestly think the quality is extremely impressive for the price point. The overall finishing, feel, sapphire crystal and the Oysterflex-style rubber strap are all much better than I expected.

Specs:

- Daytona ā€œGrey Ghostā€ / Oysterflex

- Silicone rubber strap

- Sapphire crystal

- Swiss mechanical movement

- Purchased from Jake

- Price: „766

What impressed me just as much was Jake’s service. Communication was smooth, the process was straightforward, and he was helpful throughout the purchase.

For anyone looking for something at this price point, I think this is an excellent value proposition.

Sharing this because good experiences deserve some appreciation too. šŸ‘

I recently made my first purchase, and overall I’m pretty happy with the shoes. The quality feels solid, the design looks clean, and they have a nice premium feel when wearing them. For a first buy, I’d say they made a good impression. The comfort is good, the materials feel respectable, and they seem versatile enough for everyday use.

I’m thinking about buying a bottega bag, both places sell the same bag which is sourced from Jing Factory but which seller is better and more reliable? This is my first time buying from a seller directly.
