Venting about my OOT bags


Recommended Posts

So I splurged on the $3.99 Dharma Trading Co. bags and paid another $200 to get them all screenprinted and was really stupid and didn't pay an extra $15 and wait an extra 2 weeks to get the Pantone color match, and now I hate the blue (which has no green in it so it isn't turquoise) and red (which looks neon next to the blue) that is on the screenprinted bag. Do I pay another $550 to redo them all? Or maybe skip the blue and only do red, to bring it down to $500? Or do I say screw it and give everyone bags that I feel poorly represent my taste and style and everything, and doesn't match anything else?

I concur. You're the only one who will notice, and frankly, you'll have other things on your mind.

But these are the gifts they are going to walk around with and go home with. I guess they were the one thing I actually cared about, oddly enough. I don't even have good stuff to put inside them besides the pashminas. I just wanted the bags themselves to be the presents. But yeah, $1k on bags does seem crazy. I figured reordering a few less bags ends up at $329. I guess I can do iron on instead, with just one simple color.

I'll try to take a photo...

can you call customer service and let them know how unhappy you are blah blah blah? try to get them to re-do for you or cut you a huge discount. i think Tami (foxytv) had a similar situation with her travel mugs - she wound up getting another entire order for FREE!

 

and PS - POST A PIC!

Can you iron over the screen printing? Not sure if that would work but might be worth a try if you really hate them.. I wouldn't pay for them again though.. After the trip, most bags get stuffed in a closet.

 

someone else did cute ones where they sewed a pocket on one side.. maybe you can sew something to the outside, over the screen printing.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
