Crumpler Crumbles and Back Again

Good to see an iconic Aussie brand back. Did anyone notice any sales leading up to the administration. Also, I wonder how the warranties apply through all this.

    Could tell when they changed ownership a few years back - used to never have any sales and then suddenly had frequent discounting.

    Plus they moved production to China and I noticed a drop in quality - had a couple of bags replaced because wasn't happy with them (e.g. uneven/lack of foam in the shoulder pads).

    Plus they got rid of the lifetime warranty.

    Hopefully they come back to their original roots a little I've been a fan since I was in high school in the 2000s and own maybe 6 or 7 crumpler products.

    • didnt know that. i hope mine are still the original bought years years ago - not sure how to check. but i am happy with them
      from now will scratch this brand off my wish list

      • Looks like lifetime warranty is back on their website

    Not surprised with private equity involvement. PE get involved in a lot of stuff they shouldn't.

  • remember seeing their website back in the early 2000's they had nude models wearing their bags.

  • Yeah was bombarded with spam during last year's lockdown. The only item I wanted was the rerelease of the originsl messemger bag, but for like $250 plus it wss never going to happen. Wasn't on sale either
