I don’t think they should be used for too long unless they’re hospital grade, and can be properly sanitized

I’m sure it is. I was only commenting on the idea that it can’t be worth it.

If you’d said that can’t be necessary then I’d have to agree. Whether or not it’s worth it is a personal call, based on a number of factors.

I would save up for something made under stricter employment laws, for example, as that cost of being particular about the production process is important to me. It isn’t important to everyone and not everyone can afford to prioritize that. I can’t always afford to prioritize that… it’s a really terrible trade off.

Depends on materials, production and durability, along with other factors like style, if that’s something you value.

Good luggage is expensive. Luggage is expensive in general and if you’re buying 3-4 sets over the course of your lifetime, $600 for a set that will work and work well your whole life and for generations really isn’t an unreasonable price 🤷🏾‍♀️

Depends on how old it is… Singer uses more and more plastic over time. When I bought a used one I made sure it was all metal. I would have gone with mostly metal too but lucked out.
