*I was sent this product for review c/o Graphic Image. All thoughts & opinions expressed in this post are my own.*
True story. As you all know, D and I LOVE to travel. We're off jaunting around Europe at least once a month. Because we travel so much, we've mastered the art of booking trips, finding great travel deals, and taking the path of least resistance when it comes to getting from point A to point B at our destinations. These days, though, we're diligently working on upgrading our travel style. Like a gift from heaven, Graphic Image to the rescue! I received these B E A U T I F U L his & her's monogramed luggage tag and passport cover travel sets c/o Graphic Image a few months ago. I was floored when they finally came in the mail and couldn't wait to give them a try on our Spanish cruise last month. D was almost more stoked than I was...mostly because this is the first company that's ever offered to swag him up as well. The boys behind the blog rarely ever are included in blogger perks, so DANKE, Graphic Image! Ahem, back to my story...I got the bright idea to wait until we were actually leaving for our cruise to take photographs of the new travel gear we'd acquired. I thought it'd be SUPER cute to photograph us pulling our suitcases through the cruise terminal with our sweet new luggage tags flapping in the wind. I was all about creating a travel story to go along with showing off the goods. Oh, how stupid a blogger I am. Allow me to let you in on a little secret...DON'T BE LIKE ME! Don't wait to snap adorable photos for your product reviews. Why? Because you'll get to the cruise terminal and realize someone's stollen your adorable new monogrammed luggage tag right off your suitcase.
$*#@!!! (forgive my French)
We arrived in Barcelona, toured around the city, taxied to the cruise terminal, and I teared up when I realized my luggage tag hadn't made it along for the ride. Pissed doesn't even being to describe my feelings that morning. I was mad at the individual who'd took it upon themselves to snag my tag (I'm pretty convinced it was stollen at the airport while my bags were in transit because the tag was secured properly and it's high-quality leather...wasn't going anywhere), but I was even more mad at myself for waiting to take photos of it. I know, I know...so silly. But, I loved my new luggage tag. I'd hardly gotten the chance to show it off! D was sweet and consoling, but as I sat there looking at his still intact luggage tag, taunting me, I continued to fume. I get why someone would want it...it's a well-made leather luggage tag. It's gorgeous. But, it had my monogram on it. Maybe that person also had the initials CHC? Fat chance. Either way, I'm luggage tag-less after only half a trip. Major sad face. The silver lining? I've still got my awesome leather passport cover. And I'll fight anyone who tries to steal that one from me!
Moral of the story is...I can't have nice things. KIDDING! Kind of. But really, head on over to Graphic Image and check out their awesome array of leather travel gear (and journals, and planners, and photo albums...so much to choose from!). I'm absolutely in love with the half of the set I have left and I'm eyeing a few gifts for my traveling friends this holiday season! Luggage tags would make great stocking stuffers! Santa, are you listening?
I kind of need a new one. ;)

I love the lime leather travel set!
ReplyDeletewww.orrsabroad.blogspot.com
I would totally have to pick the small jewelry roll in taupe. That's always an issue for me when traveling!
ReplyDeleteI love those atlas books, it would get very used in our house!
ReplyDeleteI am the least chic traveller ever!...this would certainly give me a helping hand
ReplyDeleteI think I need the pet brag book, then I can file all our kitty pictures in one place :) Also, what jerks stealing your luggage tag. Hope they get theirs.
ReplyDeleteI really like the The Traveler's Atlas Traditional Leather!
ReplyDeleteI love The Traveler's Atlas Traditional Leather - what a great Christmas gift idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo frustrating! It would have taken me forever to get over that kind of thievery.
ReplyDeleteI love the Atlas sets! Soooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI saw these on instagram! so gorgeous! I don't even have passport covers for our passports. Still plain janes. I definitely need some styling STAT!
ReplyDeleteThe Python iPad cases are classy
ReplyDeleteTheir pieces are all so beautiful!! I especially love the Taupe Passport Case in Embossed Python - I wish I had this for my past travels, and hopefully WILL have it for the future!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love this set!
ReplyDeleteWho steals a monogrammed luggage tag?! That makes no sense. But I hope someone with the same initials out there is very, very happy... :(
ReplyDelete2014 Notebook Embossed Python Leather is beautiful especially in the pink color.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I need (no, not want, but need) the pink passport case. We have FIVE passports now for three people and they get lost in the shuffle a lot. I know, you don't want your passports lost in any shuffle! I want the pink one to at least keep my passports separate.
ReplyDeleteThose are really pretty! I never thought I'd need something like that - and, okay, I don't NEED it - but after seeing it I'd love to have something so fancy for my travels!
ReplyDeleteThe pink passport case is GORGEOUS. All the accessories are, but if I had to choose, definitely the beautiful pink leather set.
ReplyDeleteThose are so great! I need a passport case!
ReplyDeleteI really love those wine journals…such a nice addition to any home!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! That's horrible that someone would steal that.
ReplyDeleteBesides the travel gift set with the passport/luggage tag in turquoise, I also really love their photo albums. Especially the purple leather one!
I am really in love with all their wonderful leather goods, but I would have to say that my favorite item is the Phone Wallet Wristlet in the Metallic Brights Leather color of silver. That would be wonderful monogrammed.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Traveler's Atlas in Purple!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Maybe this will be more motivation for me to travel more :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the Atlas sets! x
ReplyDeleteI love the book- Henri le chat noir!!
ReplyDeleteThe travel journals are pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteLove this, and I would totally get new passport covers for me and Josh :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway, would love to win the passport/luggage tag combo in teal! :)
ReplyDeleteblue passport coverrrr!
ReplyDeleteI'm always afraid someone is going to snag our luggage tag that has "The Pharrs," our anniversary date, and our initials in hearts because they will see it's leather but not that it's monogrammed. So sorry you lost your tag!
ReplyDeleteI want this:

ReplyDeleteAnd I can't believe someone stole the luggage tag?! That's F@%&$!G ridiculous!
I love the Passport Holder Bright Leather in purple! Dee-lish!

ReplyDeletei like the leather refillable notebook covers. nothing says "i'm a badass" or "i mean business" like showing up at work with a beautiful leather covered notebook.
ReplyDeleteOh my god!! I can't believe someone stole your brand spankin' new luggage tag :(
