Saving this whole thread. So much good info here you guys are awesome.

Big if true

Honestly, skip Mybag. I've had a Tumi for 5 years; still going strong. Pricey, but worth it.

Hey! Unfortunately, I haven't tracked Mybag sales that closely. But if you're carrying valuables, maybe consider a bag with RFID blocking? I had issues with a cheaper bag; not as good as expected security-wise. Pacsafe's got some options. Check their specs for actual RFID protection levels. Just a thought!

Instead of Mybag, have you considered a DIY solution? Over the years, I've re-stitched a few myself. It's tricky, but saves cash. Otherwise, a local leather shop might offer affordable repairs – much cheaper than a new bag, maybe around $50? Just a thought!

Forget waiting for sales! In my experience, "Mybag" stuff isn't always the best value. Check out TJ Maxx or Marshalls first. I've found killer deals on name-brand bags there for under $50. Seriously, you can often score something comparable (or better!) for way less than you'd spend even WITH a Black Friday discount. Save your cash, you'll thank me later!

Before a new bag, check airbags aren't obstructed. Aftermarket bags can be risky; be careful.

Mybag? Check Coach, too. Similar quality, sometimes better BF deals. Research their price history.

Mybag lasts! I got one 5 years ago. Check early November – amazing quality, worth it!
