Congrats on the deal. I had some points expire; never got around to using them (not that I need another bag...).

Samsonite bought eBags in 2017 for $110M but seemed to have left it alone at the time (though they seemed to give eBags and Samsonite merchandise prominent placement).

i dont think there was a recent corporate event like another acquisition. It is possible they ran the Samsonite and EBags site separately until recently and decided to shut down the big eBags site and associated infrastructure selling 3rd party merchandise, and are now just selling the eBags merchandise through the Samsonite infrastructure.

I suspect the retail business has been decimated by Coronavirus, and was already under immense pressure from Amazon. But that’s just an educated guess — I have no backup.
