OMG, it is a sponge bag!
Well, that is what is was called in my youth. The total manufacturing cost must be all of £10 ($15 or whatever). Once you have one there is no use for another unless you are so sad as to want to collect different colours. I never open the sealed bag and just give them away. So long as the bathroom has a toothbrush set there is nothing I need in there.
I dunno, is this just a 'Look at me I flew first class' badge? Somewhat the same as the current fashion of wearing clothes with the label on the outside that shouts at everyone, 'Look at me, I paid £100+ for a shirt' - that more than likely was made in the same factory with the same cloth as one you can buy for under £10 without the stupid 'Designer Label'.
May I break this to you gently? The reason these shirts, sponge bag, or whatever cost so much has nothing to do with manufacturing cost or the quality, the horrendous cost is predominately marketing which, of course, includes paying star athletes, other sports pros and so called celebrities $1,000,000 plus a year for wearing the overpriced crap.

I'm one of the sad people who collect them. Collected almost 30 F kits past 2 years flying F and around 15 of which were from THAI. They were my good memories. I don't show them to anybody. Looking at them pushes me to work harder so I can get on those flights again soon (I'm not a salary man so the more I work the more I earn).
My friends and relatives collect stamps, cards, CDs, posters, stones, coins etc These are junks to me but I understand they have some special meaning to the people who collect them.

I give them away as many people like them, others try to sell them on eBay, others throw them away; to everybody his own.

I agree the Rimowa micro-cases are utterly useless for any purpose, but they amuse me. I use the older Tumi canvas bags (pre-Rimowa) for my cables, connectors, medicines, and other small items when I pack my bag. They are practical and I have about 20 of them, plus about 40 of the Rimowa items.
I travel in First Class all the time but you will never find me flaunting it. I have nothing to prove..........

BinSabai, was that a Rimowa bag with the Monteil products? Never heard of the brand, but then that's the whole point isn't it? If we use the products in the amenity bag, and we like them, then we might purchase them when we see them in a shop.

yes correct. I am not going to judge as I neither know all those cosmetic and fragrance brands well nor am I very knowledgeable about the products
