Please Come To Boston: Resolve Your Travel Issues with Excess Baggage (Men & Women)

[merkman]

Second: A backpack you've carried since COLLEGE? Merk, I know your age and I say it is time to give this backpack up to the Good Will and let another young boy make a future with it.

Well, I'll just mention that I got my third degree in '97. So yeah, I've probably held onto it for far too long, but I swear the thing looks brand new... and after all, I didn't know any better until a few weeks ago. Your getting through to me, but it take a little time for change.

Merk, why not go to a Louis Vuitton boutique in Seattle and check these all out in person. It sounds as if you have far too many questions that can't possibly be answered by any of us or the replica sites themselves. If you go to the boutique and after handling the bag decide you like it, then look at the replica sites and buy it.

Good point. I didn't really think about the fact that there is probably a LV in Seattle. Now that I think about it, it MIGHT be right across the street from my favorite Seattle restaurant, Benihana. Maybe a road trip is in order...

Right now, you're splitting hairs. These bags and suitcases are all different from what you're used to but how does that affect their functionality in regards to being able to carry all your belongings? They do it just as well as all your current luggage, I promise. The only thing that changes is the fashionability.

I mostly agree with this, but not completely. Reason I say that is the functionality depending on the bag. It's true, most bags are made to hold stuff, and therefore very similar. But the Targus bag I have has SEVERAL pockets. One I use for plane tickets and other important paperwork. Another for medication or my cell phone charger. A third right in front for my sunglasses case, and of course the big section where I place all my electronics (typically in their own cases), and kinda let things all fall together.

But unless there are dividers or pockets I'm missing in the pictures of most of the rep bags, they are really just one big "purse" or "carryall" without more than a couple of seperate "pockets" on the outside of the bag at the most. I'm sure the computer bags have a few extra dividers or something, but it really is a different way to carry your stuff... at least to me. Maybe if you've used bags like these all your life, it's no big deal. But again, I've never really even looked at Coach bags before. My sisters have and have bought them of course, but if it wasn't for the C's all over their bags... I couldn't tell 1/2 of them came from there.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think if you give me a chance I'll figure all this out. Might even impress you a little before I'm done. But give me a chance to wade out of this end of the pool, before you go throwing me into the deep end without a single waterwing to my name!
