I can’t tell you how many times people have negatively commented on my shit carry on bag I bought several years ago for likely under $100 …. It’s never even come close to being broken
Yet I travel with people who have expensive stuff and they can’t close their bag or the wheel falls off and they have to bring it to the store
“omg unlimited warranty is so amazing”
Really, I want to take the time out of my trip to bring my bag to a store to get fixed?
This post is riddled with people talking about having to replace their expensive luggage. WTF do yall do with it, throw it off the balcony? Shit I bet if I throw mine off the balcony it will still work perfectly.
It's not just luxury hotels that are a scam, it's almost everything that's luxury that's a scam
Gf bought Rimowa suitcases, expensive and supposed to be better quality than regular ones, but of course they're much worse
They keep breaking, like all of them, cracks in the handles, cracks in the sides, it's just cheap plastic shit but it costs $1000 or more
Rimowa was bought by LVMH in 2016 which has an average profit margin of 66% and whose strategy is to increase prices by ~5x, decrease costs by ~5x and then create artificial scarcity (limited availability per shop) because people want what they can't get (not me though but many)
LVMH is kinda like the luxury version of private equity, it makes everything more expensive and worse and hard to get!
