I wanted to post a quick note. I was really curious about the Tripp bag - after they launched the braided version.
As many of you are well aware, reviews of their bags are a little sparse on the internet. I was feeling a bit hesitant after this thread, but after a few months I was still quite interested in the bag.
I ended up ordering and thought I’d post some initial feedback. They were less responsive via email, so it took me some time to get my questions answered. It turned out I wanted something custom.
It is clear they are still really small as the questions were around making sure they could limit risk for something custom and set proper expectations.
After the details were squared away, they gave me an estimate and delivery window. I received my bag at the early end of the delivery window.
It looks like they were responsive to the feedback up thread about packaging. I received a large, unbranded dust bag.
So far fit and finish look great. The bag is a little larger than I expected (I got the big one) and the leather is actually softer than expected. Which is also great. I am excited about the bag and will post some pics and a review once I “settle in.”
