Handbags

The IKHWIP bags I have I like.Their prices are a little better. "The boys" can be a bit much sometimes.Chill down a little guys! But like others,if you want tried and true and reliable quality go Lug.

I love their bags and love the boys.  When LUG first arrived on the scene, they were reasonably priced, but that's not the case anymore.  IKHWIP bags are an excellent substitute, but my guess is their prices will rise too as the bags become more and more popular.  I carry a LUG bag, but I also have several from IKHWIP.

I have to agree they are super hyper.

@Bonkers1  I agree......That's why I never watch them.

I used to be a Lug Nut for many years, but their prices went up and their quality went down. let alone their bad business practices. Around 2023, it was as if they started using their interior lining fabric which was less soft, on the outside of their bags. Also the pockets on many bags and wallets used to be fully lined on the inside, then they became just the backside of the fabric of whatever was on the other side.

I bought a ikhwip--can never get those letters right-- A 689066--in the peach color--and that thing is way too big and too heavy for me and its too late to return it. Got compliments on the color and I don't have that much to fill it with but its just too bulky. I have mostly Lug bags that fit much better. Those guys are a little much --same with the Beekmans---Maybe I'll try to re sell the bag----

I prefer IHKWIP.


I wondered what was UP with LUG’s lower quality, but after reading the post couple prior to mine explaining they started using the interior fabric for the exterior,

It Makes Sense !! 😳



They’ve also gotten WAaaaay TOO Cutesy with their prints, patterns and charms.

I have seen more Kipling at Marshall's lately.  Great bags I just wish they had a bit more structure.  They machine wash well!!

If I buy lug I always choose to buy from QVC. Reason is because there is more customer service and less "being at the mercy of lug" due to receiving defective and previously returned items from lug. And their bad business practices, like having to purchase lug's "insurance". In case they send me defective or returned item's. Which lug feels is their prerogative. Tough luck. Kinda on the wrong track there. Consequently I am happy with my shopping experience at QVC.
