Hello pretties. I've been missing in action for a few weeks, and I just returned from Europe. I had a lovely time, but I'm happy to be home. This is the season for travel, and I'm sure many of you have hit up a few cities or beaches in the past month. On the topic of travel, I thought I would give a little review on my new Jon Hart luggage.
My first impression of this set was that it was beautiful. Each bag is so wonderfully made and I was in love with the classy colors, including the monogrammed leather that is designed to age over time into a beautiful caramel color. It was the perfect size for a weekend trip, which I know I'll be taking many of throughout the summer and school year. It was packaged nicely in tissue paper, bubble wrap, and filling paper to maintain it's structure. The shoulder strap of the Daytripper has a comfortable shoulder cushion and the handles button together nicely with a Jon Hart monogrammed snap. The makeup bag has a lined pocket on the inside and fits more than a weekend's worth of products. The chino is also a great small bag for small bottles, such as nail polish remover, shampoo, etc.
Needless to say, I loved the entire set and was eager to pack it for my impending weekend trip to Birmingham. I was able to fit a few outfits, a blanket, and the two smaller bags into the Daytripper with an impressive amount of space left to spare; I would estimate I had less than 12-15lbs inside of it. I had everything I needed for my trip and I was totally satisfied that I was able to use the set. However, here comes the bad part. minutes after placing the Daytripper's strap on my shoulder and walking it towards my car, without any tug or motivation, the leather end of the strap ripped free from the base of the bag. I was shocked! It was so lightweight and hadn't been pulled on at all.
I still used my bag for the weekend, but because the strap was completely unrepairable, I stuck to using the handles very cautiously. When I returned from my trip I contacted the company and explained the situation. I sent them my bag for repairs but they basically said they would charge me the $15 repair fee. Now, I understand $15 is a great price for a repair, but I was not at fault for the damage and I suspected it was manufacturing error. After I returned the bag, they examined it and waved the repair and shipping fee. Although I was bummed with my broken bag, I was pretty impressed with the customer service.
Over all, I really do love this bag, despite the little mishap with the strap. It is a great travel bag and fits perfectly as a carry-on for flights. They are a timeless style, and of course I love anything monogrammed. My bag should be returned as good as new within a few days, and I'll post an update once I recieve it.
Until then, stay pretty ladies!
