Transcript excerpt

You buying the product or are you buying the marketing? Luggage edition. Monos. You're buying the product. And one of my favorites. The hybrid trunk and carry on are the best pieces of luggage I've ever used. Away. You're buying both. They push hard on marketing and they have a decent product. Ramoa. You're buying status. This is a luxury item and it's cool and well made, but you might have to deal with some customer service issues. If you bought one, be prepared to buy your own backup. July. You're buying away with a different name. Not bad though. Carl Friedrich. You're buying the product. Carl is high quality, long lasting, and well designed. Also, you get to call your luggage Carl. Swami, slippy, slappy, semi, simi, simi, Samsonite. You're buying a $20,000,000,000 luggage conglomerate that seems to be trying hard. To me, you're buying the product and a high quality one that will probably last a long time. Base, you're buying a celebrity brand. The bags they launched fell apart, so I don't really trust the luggage.
