@@quentinj.500 nice i think i paid 2,000 for mine, must be 5-6 years ago

thank you!

you probably could but I don't want to mess up anything other than rags for cleaning ya know. thanks for the compliment. :)

Thank you and yes you have to pull all sorts of tricks buying shoes online, always a risk

Ha! Thanks hubby

I just got a regular samsonite luggage, i may get a tumi soon

With this particular bag I’d say for an event yes for a “regular” guy, it’s a concert, dinner, evening event appropriate. I think it’s a wow piece for a straight man to wear. I would not say that for everyday just casually walking down the street. If you want a multicolor everyday piece I’d say go for the pochette. It’s smaller and yet striking and depending on what you wear it with a thoughtful person would just think you’re fashionable.

Thank you much ❤

I just went back to my samsonite luggage I’ve had for years. They can toss that around all day for all i care

i don't think I found that the quality was there but you are right to only have it for road trips. i think I'll skip future hard luggage luxury purchases

You can't fix it but i'd take it to the Louis V store in NYC and ask them about the process to fix it. They will need to replace the handle honestly it's no way for you to fix it yourself.

I sold it for 2500

Depends on the trip, if it's a business trip they don't pay for upgrades and I'm not paying for it either as it won't be reimbursed.

Yes first class is great and I’ve flown first class a few times but I never found it worth the money personally but more power to you frequent first class flyers 🫡

Military boarding early saves my butt!

@@mSantsnjthanks for your service you deserve it, i come from a military family myself

Some people, like myself, try to keep our more expensive items in pristine condition when possible. It’s not about whether they can continually buy new luggage. It’s simply if you worked hard to pay for something, you want to treat it well.

⁠

I totally agree with the worrying. It’s not just worrying about it getting banged up but also fear of it getting stolen. Honestly even if I could afford to buy new suitcases all the time, that’s nutty! Frankly the whole scenario is always worrying if you fly regular class. Even if one pays to board early, you may have to check it. There is so much stress around flying these days with this worry on top of it. Having said all that…I bought my first carry on LV in 2000 and I still use it. I bought this same suitcase you have here (55) and sent it back. It just felt extravagant for the fears well discussed here!

So when i've flown business class or higher then I didn't have any issues. But I also fly for company trips(they nor I am going to pay to upgrade) and if the trip is a busy route those first boarding seats are taken quickly. But the trip I just came off from San Fran last week. I was in boarding group 2 and had to check my now regular rolling luggage. The plane was pretty small. After they do the preboarding/fam w small kids/military/that airlines club members/handicapped and all that I ended up having to check. They had room on the plane but they still made us check it. It's not even sometimes that they don't have the room they just want us on and off the plane quicker so they throw our stuff in checked.

Thank you for your thorough response!🥰 These airlines too wishy-washy for me😂😂

almost all of mine is bought preloved now. at the time i got this piece there were no used one anywhere I looked and I had been looking for about 2 years

i think anything you can't keep near you may be best not to buy if the primary purpose will be flying

How much do you sell this item for

@@BrownCrayon-gp3bk2,700

Since the airlines have gotten so cheap, it's just not worth the headache in my opinion. Yes go with the Rimowa

Ebay but definitely go with a seller out of Japan.

the thieves are rampant but yes you have to watch your stuff wherever you are

I believe you!

I haven't used it in awhile but i use a baby wipe or a toothbrush to get in the grooves. It only needs minimal cleaning usually.

Sorry for the late response but i think this was just a new get because it was just a good deal. But i just don’t remember actually

Thank you! The price was too good to pass up! I also like the outside pockets and that’s it’s roomy

@@BEG943 seriously, gym bag goals!!! Congrats!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I honestly can’t recall but it was a highly ranked eBay seller, likely from japan

you're welcome, its really roomy and I got a good deal, I think you'll enjoy it :)

I don't know that it's that way anymore but I had issues right away.

I have gone to michaels and gottem a paint set and touched up some spots on other bags colorful parts.

Artist's Loft Acrylic paint set

Ok ☺️ thank you

I don't cover any products or purchases on my IG but it's beyoug_
