I’m half tempted. I have the hard sided luggage in what they consider a carryon (it’s actually too big for most airlines though). I used it for a cruise recently and I liked it. The dark blue would match color wise (at least close enough I think lol!). But these are leather and the hard sided case is not. I’ll sleep on it I guess and if the dark blue set is still available, maybe I can convince myself I need it.
You can find these (or equivalent genuine leather bags) at Marshall’s or Ross’ for around $10-$12 each, and “Joy Mangano” (e.g. QVC) is NOT any quality brand, it’s cheap Chinese crap. Maybe not even made of cow-skins, based on recent NYT reporting (yuk!)
Honestly, even the colloquy here no longer seems to be worth the monthly VMP cost (unlike in the recent past), even with the other bennies “potentially” available such as free shipping on Morningsave, Casemates. And that’s not a slam on the folks here, just my perception of the value of a $5/month charge to just be here and pay to read what I could otherwise see for $0.
The last few items I’ve ordered (3-5 in the past year, from what I can see) have all, totally been a huge disappointment, well beyond the “Meh” that is implied from the name and expectation here. (Maybe I’ve just finally realized that I already own enough junk that I don’t really need or want or use, and no one in my family or friends wants the crap, either.) I’ll decide by this month’s end, I guess.
So, based on all of the above, please go ahead, nominate me as the February Goat, folks. That should do it for me!!! Blergh.
@cbl_wv@oldmantick I never know what to think when people are grossed out by leather that comes from Not Cows. Is the processed skin of other animals somehow more disgusting?
@hchavers@plb1257 Me too! Can’t stand logos on products and I am not impressed by someone else’s initials. If I am expected to advertise a brand, I expect them to pay me.
Got my bags and, while the style is nice, this is absolutely 100% not leather, and I doubt very much it will survive airline travel for long. Super Meh.

Oh, hell no!

@cbl_wv Exactly! Wouldn’t touch these with a 10 foot Mangano
Also considering the worth of VMP these days; my boat overfloweth with crap that my family doesn’t want, need, or use
@cbl_wv if it’s not cow skin what is it? Rat skin? People skin? Enquiring minds want to know, mostly just because there are so few posts
@cbl_wv @oldmantick I never know what to think when people are grossed out by leather that comes from Not Cows. Is the processed skin of other animals somehow more disgusting?
@cbl_wv @oldmantick @winfield I’ve got some elkskin riding gloves that are wonderful. Tough as nails and soft as butter.
@cbl_wv @oldmantick @winfield
Vegan leather really bothers me. How many vegans do you have to skin to make a purse?
Metallic leather? I thought metal cows were an endangered species.
@blaineg Cows? Ha. Think smaller, more legs.
@mcanavino Hehe. The animal that the ribwich is made from is now extinct.
@blaineg @mcanavino how many legs does a nauga have?
@mcanavino
Smaller I can do, but if I go over 4 legs, all I get are insects. Beetle leather?
@blaineg @lisagd If you have to ask, it’s already too many.
I didn’t know Joe endorsed man-purses.
@OldCatLady @tinamarie1974
@mike808 I endorse Joe
They actually look like nice bags but that hideous medallion logo. wtf??? I HATE logo tags of ANY KIND.
@plb1257 Yeppers. I chsrge to advertise for companies.
@hchavers @plb1257 Me too! Can’t stand logos on products and I am not impressed by someone else’s initials. If I am expected to advertise a brand, I expect them to pay me.

@wonder247 Who, me?

I bought these for my wife. She has used them and liked them. No problems here.
