Great case, delivered on time

I received my case on time as informed by the CF website. The case itself is of high quality, I’m looking forward to many trips with it.

I am extremely disappointed with my…

I am extremely disappointed with my recent purchase of a refurbished luggage. While I understood that I was buying a pre-owned item, I expected better quality and service considering the price I paid.

To my surprise, the luggage arrived pre-locked with no accompanying code to open the lock. This lack of attention to detail is unacceptable, especially for a supposedly luxury brand. Not only did it inconvenience me, but it also reflects poorly on the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.

Upon reaching out to their customer service, I received a lackluster response. Instead of offering a suitable solution or compensating for the inconvenience, they simply suggested I buy a separate TSA key or try an extensive range of number combinations to unlock the luggage. This response further highlights the subpar customer service experience I have received.

As a customer, I expect a certain level of quality and service when purchasing from a luxury brand, even if the item is refurbished. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling let down and dissatisfied.

Not “fine leather” as advertised.

I ordered a three-piece set of CF in Grey / Cognac and received delivery within a few weeks in December, 2023. I’ve only used the Large Check-in on a cruise that I just returned from on January, 28, 2024 and I’m concerned about the quality. As you can see, the gray paint is already scraping off the hinges and the “leather” is peeling from scuffs as well. I ordered CF because I loved the dark gray with cognac leather look and assumed genuine leather would patina nicely with use. This is not real leather and is some bonded material with a leather-look coating that does not wear well. Very disappointing. I’ll be looking into return/charge-back options as this was not what was advertised.

Hi David,

We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. Your feedback is invaluable, and we want to ensure that we address your concerns promptly.

We would like to assure you that we use only full-grain Vachetta leather for all our products.

The leather is vegetable-tanned and based on the information provided, it looks like the surface has gotten scratched and the upper layer of leather was removed revealing the untanned leather underneath.

Our Customer Service team reached out to offer a solution but it seems that we haven't heard back from you.

Please get back to us at your earliest convenience as we look forward to making this right.

All the best,
Team CF
