Rapid-fire critique of luggage brands from @orenmeetsworld

The creator delivers a rapid-fire, critical commentary on the current state of the luggage industry. He systematically critiques various brands, starting with Rimowa for its declining quality, Tumi for its strange designs and fragrances, and Bottega Veneta for its poor luggage. He then moves on to criticize bizarre and unnecessary brand collaborations, such as Tumi x McLaren, Away x Dwyane Wade, Nike's shoe-themed luggage, and Béis x Chipotle, while surprisingly praising the Béis x Wicked collaboration. He concludes by questioning the purpose of these collaborations and noting that at least Samsonite remains affordable.
