  • Meticulous organization pockets galore
  • Durable construction withstands years
  • Sleek minimalist aesthetic options
  • Comfortable cushioned backpack straps
  • Heavy leather tote weight
  • Neoprene bubbling and creasing
  • Easily stained light neoprene
  • Zippers scratch and stick

Dagne Dover earns strong reviews for smart, pocket-rich designs that travel well, from the Dakota backpack and Landon Carryall to the Allyn and Signature totes, which many say are durable, sleek, and easy to organize—so yes, the brand works. However, critiques surface around heavy leather totes, neoprene quirks (bubbling, creasing, sagging, staining, strong odor), zippers that scratch or stick, and some size/fit frustrations, making careful style and material selection important before buying.

  • I LOVE some of the products but I have seen a lot of bubbling with the neoprene bags that are posted on Poshmark and Mercari. I want to like that style of bag but with the price point of each item, it is not appealing to see so many of the same issues with that material. I love the mina toiletry bag. I have three of them. They have a really cool Velcro partition you can put into the bag that definitely helps keep things organized. I use them for my makeup brushes. I have bought two of the Nova sling bags because of how they look. I can't seem to fit all of my stuff into them so either they are too small for me or I carry too much stuff. I'll say it's a me thing. I was introduced to this brand by a YT influencer that I really like. We have different styles so I didn't buy what she liked, however she did introduce me to the brand. I like the quality, the amount of pockets and storage, and the unique look of the products. There are a lot of choices too. I will stay away from the bags that are made out of the neoprene but other than that, I will definitely continue buying DD bags.

  • I have now bought 3 bags from Dagne Dover and I really like the brand. Products are great quality and I use them everyday. No complaints.

  • I received a Dagne Dover tech organizer for Christmas, after hearing lots of good things about the brand. The tech organizer can hold 1 mac charger + cord, a phone charger + cord, and maybe one more small cord. It was a nice gift, but not the organizer I would buy for myself with $50. I think the neoprene material would be nicer on their bags.

    Feedback

    While I enjoy the organizer, I think it is overpriced for what it is, especially considering I could find a comparable product for much less on Amazon. The small size is very bulky for the small amount of tech it can hold.

  • Love both their leather and neoprene goods. My leather work bag from DD still holds up, nearly 8 years later. I also really like their clutches and wallets.

  • Love DD products, innovate, lots of pockets, love how it's so easy to clean BUT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE!

    pricing :/

  • I have one of the larger neoprene duffel bags and I LOVE it. Love the fact that I can slip it over my suitcase handle but love how spacious it is inside with all of its pockets; also love the pouch it came with that can clip inside to be easily found! It really helps me to stay organized when I overpack. Also the phone pocket on the outside is a nice touch!

    Feedback

    Pricing. It is expensive but worth it! You can follow them for sales (they do a good one around the holidays) or wait for a Nordstrom sale!

  • pretty good quality bags! I have had 2 for 6+ years. The patent leather ones though tend to rip.

  • I love my Dagne Dover bag (Micah crossbody), it's so cute and stores a lot. The color is stunning and it's lightweight. The customer service was great, and I recommend purchasing when they are on sale!

    The material itself can be finnicky. The stitching starts to come undone after a couple months of use while the neoprene tends to crease and it's hard to avoid that if you're using the bag on a daily basis. Additionally, I've tried cleaning stains off of my bag with mild detergent in cold water as specified, but the stains aren't gone entirely. It's hard to pack as well because compression makes it crease even more.

  • I've used the medium Allyn tote for years and absolutely love it. Fits everything, looks hopelessly stylish even when you're all over the place, and has a storage nook and cranny for everything you could possibly be carrying.

    Feedback

    The leather is excellent quality but EXTREMELY heavy — which is tough for long days on the move, and when I'm also carrying my laptop.

  • I absolutely love my Dagne Dover products! For daily use, I use their backpack and it's GREAT. All of their products have great pockets. I am obsessed with my Dagne Dover fanny pack- it's easy for on the go, traveling, a long walk, etc. I would also recommend their travel pouches as well and find that they wipe down easily.

  • The Bags and smaller accessories are all great. I have gotten both the leather and neoprene products, and both are awesome and durable. Lots of great pockets. The also typically have a sample sale that is great if you are ok with minor imperfections.

  • I have the Dakota backpack in black, the xl duffel in gray, the legend tote, and I purchased the indi bag as a gift (diaper bag). I love the backpack because the straps have so much cushion and and there are tons of pockets. I did wash it once in the machine after I spilled coffee in it and it was fine (not sure if you're supposed to). The legend tote is great but I had to stop using it because it is SO HEAVY. if you need to walk a lot with it, it will kill your shoulders, other than that I loved it. The other items are great, plenty of space and pockets and really lightweight!

  • Mila toiletries bag - amazing and perfect for a week trip! I love how I can customize the different compartments and remove what I don’t need. Mara crossbody - I have 2 and they are my favorite bags ever!!! Perfect and fits my iphone 14 along with sunglasses. Small Dakota - cute, but I should have gotten a medium. I’m not happy that it falls off my shoulder all the time.

  • I own both a Dagne duffle and backpack. The products are lightweight, relatively durable and comfortable. I've gotten so many compliments wearing them, and have been seeing more and more people with Dagne.

  • If you asked me which brand I am most passionate about, I would unequivocally answer Dagne Dover. Their products are well-designed and high quality. They stand by them if anything happens — I once ripped my backpack over a year after I got it, and after reaching out to Care, they sent me $30 on PayPal to get it fixed. I've convinced everyone in my life they need the backpack and created an alliance of neoprene travelers every time I got to the airport with my sisters or fiancé. I'm now on my second backpack because I loved my first so much. It's worth the price!

  • Used my Dange and Dover as my go-to work purse for 2+ years! Really high quality + durability and I love all the compartments and space (especially the drink holder).

    Feedback

    I made a mistake and accidentally left something on top of my bag and it left a crease that unfortunately could not make it stand up straight anymore whenever I set it down. User error!

  • I have a backpack and love it. Has held up for a few years despite being beat up in the commute - holds a ton of items. I'm a big fan of this brand.

  • I used the Medium Dakota Neoprene Backpack for class in college; I love its sleek style, size, and fit on my back. I'm a neat freak so I love the hidden compartments of this backpack which allowed me to store all of my school necessities in a very organized fashion.

  • I have the makeup bag. It's the perfect size and the durable fabric material makes it easy to fit a lot of products and wash when my stuff leaks. It's a must-have for frequent travelers who like to bring their entire skincare routine with them.

  • I have the large backpack and it is great for travel (has a roller bag sleeve) I love all the different compartments and small detachable bag. Fits laptop + gym clothes and shoes + work things
