Tell me why im blatantly wrong in the comments 🫡 Buying the product is when a consumer buys off the qualities of use, buying the brand is purchasing as a signaller or because of marketing acumen. Plenty of reasons for either, luckily for all of us well likely make it to our destination with any of these #luggage #rimowa #tumi #monos #branding

Alright. The Internet has been asking for a product versus brand luggage edition. Away. You are buying the brand in the last gasp of the millennial dream. At this point, they have lost tier plot on both color and art direction. This is not the season of mustard and or navy, and it looks like my man's is catching a train in, like, worst war Budapest. Best, queen of the influencer rank. This is the product. This is what Away should have been. Just a great set of colors and a wide range of products and affordable options. Manos, it's giving blending. Remova, still the ultimate mainstream status suitcase even though it does get banged up and the product quality has fallen, but you're buying the brand. It's really hard to not regard Tumi as the official suitcase of 50 plus guys bragging how many years they made one k, but this degree silhouette is great. Trying to swagger rank Remova with this case, though. Either way, it's hard to forgive the design atrocity that was this McLaren collab. You're buying the brand. MBST, they're buying the product. They basically took the Ramoah suitcase and crushed the look and execution at a lower price point. Briggs and Riley, the trifecta of ugly, overpriced, and made in China, but I do respect their lifetime guarantee, you're buying the product. Rome, who said it was a good idea to allow people to choose the front and back colors of their suitcase? They can't even make the default options look good. DB has an excellent range of specialty products across all kinds of bags. I actually think the luggage is the weak point of the brand, but it's hard to ever treat them seriously after tier name was originally douche bad, but either way, you're buying the product.
