I'm a sucker for the Jack Spade lifestyle, own a few ties, shirts, trinkets and of course bags from his collection. If you haven't been to their flagship store (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) in SoHo, NY, please get on over. Besides, I don't think I'd look so good in Kate's shoes and dresses, anyway. But I digress.

So I have this great travel bag from Jack -- well designed, and when I use it, it makes me happy to travel or at least weekend around. Yes, I just use 'weekend' as a verb.

The trouble is, the strap broke. Nice design, Jack, but horrible construction, at least when the weight's got you down. Enter my man Edward. They've got a location in SF but I was down in San Mateo and stopped in. Very quickly, a nice sales lady steered me towards a replacement strap that went with the look and feel of said bag, while giving me the shoulder support that a man of my tender age and disposition needs.

Edwards is no Flight 001 (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), which I also love, but they do have some good luggage and travel accessories; to paraphrase Johnny Cochran, "If the strap fits, you know they're legit."

3 sales associates stand around chatting about their vacation experiences. we enter the store in search of a credit card holder. no other customers were in the store. no greeting, no offer of help. we walk through the store and finally find what we're looking for but one of the sales associates is standing in front of the case. the store is quite large...of all places, must you stand directly in my way? she continues to chat it up while i inch closer to take a closer look of the merchandise. none of her numbskull coworkers signal for her to move. should i have to say excuse me? if they offered to help me, i would have made a transaction and sale in less than 3 minutes. but because i'd rather spend another hour looking for the same thing elsewhere than let them have my business, i left the store pissed off. no goodbye, no nothing.

so the moral of the story is, if you want a job that pays you to do abso-f*cking-lutely nothing, apply to edward's luggage.

Have you ever had a piece of luggage that was just the right size or shape? Not me, and I have enough luggage to comfortably pack a Cher wig-n-wardrobe tour ensemble.  Luggage stores like Edwards, perhaps the leading mass-market chain, baffle me.  There is so little innovation in luggage shapes, sizes, materials and features, the stores are packed to the gills with look-n-price-alike blandness, and yet the stores are friggin everywhere.  As with patio grills, there is an industrial design revolution waiting to happen to the luggage industry.  All we need is our luggage Che. Oh--they do have a good selection of international adapters and so forth.

3.5...although I didn't really come to buy luggage but to buy luggage accessories.  I found that a lot of their items were very expensive, although very appealing visually.  I must say that the sales man who attended to me was very sweet and helpful.
