I have to agree - however I acquired them for a lot less after they were re-listed. Far from perfect repro's by any means (for all the reasons you state) but a lot more palatable to my budget than £7k I was recently quoted for an original set.

I remain on the look out for a sensibly priced set of original Hepco luggage but seemingly they are unobtainium.

Not expecting to win any concours prizes with these - but they do a job !
