I love each of them in their own way. So in a round about way, luggage is sort of handbag-ish, right? Fine. I know. But, just go with it anyway… I’ve run across the Ducati luggage collection by Tumi online earlier this year, but as we were strolling around Macy’s Herald Square, I finally got to see the pieces with my own eyes. 
Like everything Ducati and Tumi for that matter, it’s a bit pricey. I guess if you want to be able to spot your luggage quickly on the conveyor belt of death at JFK, maybe one of these bags are for you. While I was looking at the online pricing for information on the pieces, I saw this delicious nugget:
MACYS.COM LINKY
Firstly, for me to pay $35 for a key fob, said fob had better come with a key to a surprise gift attached to it. Maybe something like, oh, I don’t know, a lucky key that will start a new 1098 that they are giving away. Secondly… Request warranty information… ? Oh. Oh, that is rich. As a Ducati owner, I can laugh. Its not really a full, hearty belly laugh though, It’s more of a “without an extended warranty I’d be on skid row, I know your pain” sort of laugh. I guess it’s pretty much a sympathetic chuckle. Look at the bullet points detailing the “features” on the key fob.
- Metal.
Metal? Wow! How clever, making a key ring out of metal. This just might catch on. They might want to patent that idea. - Request Warranty Information
:::snickers:::: - Rotating key ring makes finding keys a cinch.
Are people having trouble in this department?
Oh, Ducati. How do you do it? How do you package up something that isn’t really anything “new” and still make it so much more palatable than the others? Like a pair of Manolo $795 Mary-janes that garner unfortunate, man-made comments like, “Well, what makes them any better than any other shoe?” I guess some people just don’t ‘get it.’ Me included in this case. That being said…The Mary-Janes, I get. The luggage, I don’t. |
