If these are real Pierre Cardin suitcases, then things have seriously gone downhill for the company, so much so they had to cut costs by having monkeys make their bags (or some other equivalently trained mammal).Seriously, even though the price was low I feel like I was ripped off. Uneven seams, threads sticking out, obvious sewing mistakes, just shoddy all around. I would have asked for my money back, but I got them 3 days before I had to leave to Europe and I needed to use them.Definitely do NOT recommend this seller. Perhaps the ORIGINAL Pierre Cardin suitcases really are nice, but these are NOT them! Wish I could tag this seller.
