It does seem to be happening everywhere. I have always wanted a chrome industries messenger bag and finally decided it was time and low and behold they were enshitified a few years ago :/
Damn, I have a Chrome bag that’s nearly 15 years old that I still use almost every day without ever having to use their lifetime repair garauntee. I wonder if they would still honor that.
As far as I’m aware they’re still doing the guarantee but the new bags are a shadow of their former selves so the replacement might not be quite as durable
jansport is that way. i had a backpack that finally started unraveling after my sister used it through college, then i used it through high school then college, then for work for like 15+ years–sent it in for the lifetime replacement and got back a shitty bottom-tier bullshit backpack made shittier than the polypropylene totebags they hand out for free at conferences
God, jansport getting vencap’d still infuriates me. I used the same jansport bag, bought by my mother while she was in college, all the way up through my college career. The modern ones are just fucking pitiful in comparison.

I hate to break it to you but are you aware of what kind of dwarf you are…?
I used to be regular dwarf but then the venture capitalists got a hold of me too
I used to be a super bison, same.
