The bags are made by the same company that make the Swiss Army Knives

has Arsene got his yet? he could be packing his bags soon

scudzilla · 30-05-2012 11:54pm

We get these in work (backpacks) and they are quality, best backpack i've ever had.

Atlantic Dawn · 31-05-2012 12:02am

Seems to be a different range online to those in the offer... http://www.wengerna.com/luggage . I'm wondering if the cabin bag fits Ryanair.

sk282 · 31-05-2012 9:18am

Not sure if it is same for Ireland but you can get some more info from Tesco Direct HERE

paddydriver · 31-05-2012 11:26am

When they were doing the pots and pans I had racked up a load of vouchers but don't recall ever been offered them for the glass ware promo... wasn't interested anyway:P

Will definitely be in for these. I have a Wenger laptop backpack and a wheelie cabin case and both are very nice. The backpack is going years!

I did measurements at the time for wheelie and it was fine for Ryanair - think the 18" would be equivalent and should be good. I got mine on the Amazon lightening deals last year for around £55 so getting it now for €35.99 would be great deal.

I'm a Ryanair regular so I have the cabin bag dimensions etched in my memory permanently! (Otherwise it could cost me €50) :eek:

The Ryanair cabin bag maximum dimensions are ..... 55cm x 40cm x 20cm.
So when standing on its wheels the bag has to be no more than 55cm in height, 40cm in width and 20 cm deep.

paddydriver · 31-05-2012 1:15pm

Tesco UK site has following dimensions:

Product Height 460.0 MM
Product Width 340.0 MM
Product Depth 220.0 MM

Depth is a little over; but never met an air hostess that complained that it was too deep by 2CM:D

Oracle · 31-05-2012 11:06pm

It has a soft front pocket, put nothing into it and I'd say the depth might be ok: http://www.tesco.com/direct/wenger-18-trolley/770-9172.prd

Lidl will have this case next week at €40, just €4 more, no tokens and it looks better quality.
Although its 5cm too deep, the zipper section might squeeze a bit to fit: http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/index_21513.htm

Typhoon. · 01-06-2012 7:31am

I really cant see Lidl having better quality than wenger.... I have stuff from them and its super quality

I'm sure Wenger is great quality. When I say better quality, I mean it has more features. The Lidl cases wheels are multi-direction, it has increased capacity at 35 ltrs and a TSA compatible combination lock, so USA ready. Also polycarbonate hard case luggage costs more than soft, it's considered superior, because it offers better protection.

Canonfan · 01-06-2012 12:00pm

Can I start collecting token today or wait until the offer starts.

Many thanks in advance.

CH3OH · 01-06-2012 6:45pm

I asked instore when shopping today and the staff knew less about the offer than me!

The original post said starting Jun 4th, so I'd imagine there will be some promotional launch on Monday

Such a pity, I have to get my shopping done on Sunday. Was hoping to get 7-8 tokens out of that.

They are not very fussy on the tokens. Ask nicely and they will give you extra. I collected one of those great quality frying pans for 7 tokens no bother.

The current offer is token for glassware, can I save the tokens for upcoming suitcase offer?

sxt · 01-06-2012 9:39pm

No , The glassware tokens will only work for that offer. The suitcase tokens will be completely different with pictures of suitcase embalzoned all over them

A soon to be fired staff member, I'd imagine. Seeing as all they sell is misappropriated Tesco voucher books.

bothyhead · 03-06-2012 10:35pm

I'm thinking of getting the Lidl hard-shell case that Lidl have this week. Lidl's case is classified as hand luggage by the IATA; however, one side is 5cm too long (55 x 36 x 25) going by Aer Lingus and Ryan Air specs. Are Aer Lingus and Ryan Air very fussy about the exact dimensions for hand luggage, or would you get away with it?

pleasant Co. · 04-06-2012 12:33pm

At 5cm over the depth limit the case wouldn't fit into ryanair's carry on baggage checking baskets, and ryanair can be quite fussy

bothyhead · 04-06-2012 2:21pm

Ok, looks like the Lidl case is a non-runner so.

ryaner777 · 04-06-2012 5:05pm

would the UK vouchers work in the irish store and vice versa ?

L1011 · 04-06-2012 8:31pm

A "golden token" worth ten got put through my door today, only valid for the first two weeks.

Got a Tesco Extra where nobody seemed to buy any of the glassware in the town so it might not be a widespread promotion - but that's just a guess, it could also turn up everywhere!

edit: Coupon is restricted to the Tesco Extra and a select few non-Extra branches only.

gebbel · 04-06-2012 10:33pm

Took a photo of one of the bags in Drogheda this evening. This bag is on wheels and has the extendable carry-handle. Good quality, feels sturdy and durable. The range of bags on offer is decent. I will go for one of them myself.

Kintarō Hattori · 04-06-2012 10:47pm

I didn't look at the other bags but did give the backpack a good looking over in Tesco Balbriggan this evening. While it's OK for €14.99 I wouldn't be a fan of it myself and would prefer to pay twice as much for a more comfortable bag from the likes of Columbia or another outdoor specialist. I would suspect that it wouldn't be the most comfortable bag to wear for an extended period of time.

If you are thinking about getting one, give it a look over then pop into your local outdoor store and see what they have on offer. While you may pay more in the long run your back will thank you for it.

lazeedaisy · 05-06-2012 7:30am

There is no way that these bags are the same quality as the ones they sell otherwise, I bought two for about 60 quid each at the start of scool season last year on amazon - so nine months ago, the best quality ever - today I popped in to see them and they are cheap and tacky - nothing like the ones i bought in a million years - so no way are they the same,

They are selling on the name only, defo not a bargain if its cheap quality

Canonfan · 05-06-2012 3:25pm

I spent 60euro this morning and the staff gave me 8 coupons, very nice:D

plasmin · 05-06-2012 10:27pm

spent €25 today and got 8 coupons. delighted!!

boobar · 06-06-2012 11:37pm

2 of these luggage pieces are carried suitable as carry-on luggage - "fit for most airlines"

One is an 18inch suitcase.

The other is a smaller briefcase trolley.

Would either or both be suitable as carry-on luggage for Ryanair flights?

Dum_Dum · 06-06-2012 11:48pm

The backpack originally priced at nearly 50 EURO. Who are they trying to kid? Taking a leaf out of TKMaxx's book I think.

whatsupdoc? · 06-06-2012 11:58pm

Thought that myself after looking at the range today.
There's no way I would pay anything close to "their" rrp prices!

Mr.Crinklewood · 07-06-2012 12:10am

Would be a terrible marketing strategy for any company to promote inferior products on this way.

I always thought Vitorinox made the swiss army knives. These make the flimsier ones that have the blade snap off trying to cut the twine on a bale of hay. If their cases are anything like those, avoid!

Victorinox do make the original Swiss army knife any other make is a replica, Victorinox specialise in knives and are a well known supplier of knives to the catering and butchering sector.

However, Wenger do make excellent luggage I have their cabin bag which gets a lot of use and still looks good unlike other cheaper makes I have bought in the past.

markc1184 · 07-06-2012 10:35am

Got one of the holdall bags yesterday. Good quality and a good size also.

vicwatson · 07-06-2012 1:04pm

This one from their website

http://www.wengerna.com/lucerne-lite-xlt-wheeled-tote-12444

is $40.00, yes I know it's USA and all that blah blah but..............

They want to charge us €40.00 for a similar one and have to spend (if all the rules are obeyed and they don't give extra tokens) €200.00 before being able to buy one for €40.00

I took a look at the one similar to link above in Tesco this morning, the body of the bag seems well built, sturdy etc but the handle feels loose and flimsy, I'd think long before spending €40.00 on it - after spending €200.00 worth of shopping.

I had a look at one today which was purchased 7 years ago. It looks the exact same as the ones in Tesco but after inspecting both the older one seems much sturdier in construction and the material that it's made from seems to be a lot more durable. I am not impressed with this, seems to me that it's likely that the ones in Tesco are some kind of inferior discount range.

Both Wenger and Victorinox make Swiss Army Knives, each receiving half of the manufacturing orders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Army_knife#Victorinox_and_Wenger

That having been said, I have looked at the bags in question and they seem pretty decent, albeit a little pricey.

EDIT: A little further down the article it mentions that Victorinox now own Wenger.

wmpdd3 · 07-06-2012 5:15pm

http://www.wengerna.com/sierre-21-inch-rolling-upright-12434

this looks like the one in tesco, but its 21 inch instead of 18 inch. I like the back pack and the flight trolley bag, price is about as much as i'd ever spend on a bag any way.

techguy · 08-06-2012 12:58pm

The Lidl case might seem better but it's not all about the materials. In my experience cheap cases always let me down around the seems, zippers etc. Just poorly constructed with quality materials really.

I actually think the RRPs seem a little low for Wenger, I paid €90 for one of their backpacks a year ago. A lot at the time but it's going to last me a long time due to the quality.

I'm planning on buying the 18" and 24" suitcase trolleys.

emzolita · 09-06-2012 1:50pm

I have loads of vouchers if anyone wants them. Im not collecting them.

PowerHouseDan · 09-06-2012 2:07pm

If anyone has any spare vouchers will ye keep me in mind... Myself and My fiancé Wouldn't exactly be spending a fortune on shopping every week so the saving of vouchers aint going very well...
