Did Anyone Buy The 5-Piece F-Type Luggage Yet?

My understanding was Jaguar dealers were offering this luggage option at [greatly] reduced prices and wondering if anyone has purchased it yet? And while the coupe has a more spacious trunk than the convertible, hard to imagine 5 pieces of luggage (5 pieces of anything) fitting back there.

Personally I wouldn't bother. I have my own suitcases for this purpose also in similar sizes and I suspect the Tumi pieces are much higher quality than these.

I got 2 of them (the large and the mid sized bags) from the dealer as an unexpected gift at delivery. Together with a Land Rover bike.
The bags look nice and are quite accommodating for a few days trip around the countryside.
Nice client "pampering" program I'd say.

Don't have them, but am a bit of a luggage nerd and traditionally, road-trip luggage is soft-sided canvas or leather.
Dunhill (british, for a british car) used to make some really nice luggage but has scaled back their product line a lot.
Ghurka and Mulholland Bros also make nice crafted roadtrip bags made in the USA.
For the stratus grey F-Type this was the best i could find....

Generally it seems like the kind of thing they would be good at because there's been this resurgence in British consumer brands (Jaguar, Mini, Dunhill, Burberry, Paul Smith, etc) over the past decade and this kind of high-margin crafted luxury good they'd want to export.

whether you like it or not, by owning an F-type you are automatically associated with this "odd crowd" you are mentioning. But, this is a rather complex crowd.
It's not that you MUST purchase designer stuff to get along with your car. We also drive our F-types in ragged jeans and skull t-shirts most of the times. I know I am.
But being able to afford this car also usually means that you do not have to ONLY buy everything from Zara and H&M or Chinatown. You simply do not feel/care that you are overcharged by getting some really nice and quality designer items to match your car purchase.
I was fortunate to get the F-type bags free of charge, but why in the world would I be cheap and not buy them after spending so much on the car

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I like the paint job....it's freaking huge so that breaks up the lines to make it less glaringly visible.
