I got these brushes a couple of weeks ago and have used them many times since. They came in a zippered cloth bag. The brushes are very soft and are very dense which is good when looking for a quality brush. They are put together well, there is no looseness in the handles at all. The handles each have the Bellange brand name on them plus what each brush is for. The only problems I've had is after washing the brushes the lettering is fading dramatically. Also the eye brushes are a little large to do precision eye makeup with but that's not a huge deal, I have several other brushes for that. When I wash the brushes there is no loss of bristles which shows they are of good quality
