Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
My husband and I have purchased three sets of Hartmann luggage prior to this purchase of both the 27" and 22" Stratum bags. Because of the quality construction and good looks of past luggage, I decided to purchase my husband these two bags as a gift. I guess I should have realized "you get what you pay for"; this luggage is just not what I expected. The information about it on Amazon said "ballistic nylon with leather accents". To be sure the trim was leather, I checked the Hartmann website also. I quote: "The fabric styles are trimmed with handsome top-grain leather." Intended to mislead, this does not mean the trim is leather! It is vinyl and cheap looking. Only the name tag is leather. Really, Hartmann, really Amazon... I see the description on Amazon has changed since my purchase to reflect these facts (thank you, Amazon!), although Hartmann continues to mislead. Oh well, live and learn. I would have returned this luggage, but we were leaving town the next day and my husband didn't want to bother- The navy color is nice, and we'll see how it holds up. Guess we'll see how it holds up. In the mean time, when I need well-made and attractive luggage, I'll go back to using one of the old sets which ARE ballistic nylon and actually trimmed in leather!
