When you see the products of Billabong, one can say that the brand speaks of superiority. While I’ve known this brand for a very long time now, it is only when I stayed in Indonesia that I have become highly familiar with this clothing line dedicated for surfers. As a matter of fact, I came to know that Billabong offers more than just a line of clothing, since they have also products like footwear, accessories and other surfwear.
Bali is like a haven of Billabong goods. I get to shop a lot at a very cheap price. Okay, I will admit that the first thing I do in Bali is to shop in discount stores of Billabong. When I arrive there early in the morning, I go to Billabong stores even before I get my breakfast. With this, I hope that I can justify my reviews on their products.
I have hopelessly fallen in love with the surfwear and accessories of Billabong. From caps, wallets to flip flops, I make it a point to that I buy it all from this brand. I must admit that their designs are wonderful. They are one of a kind and classy. I feel like when I’m wearing Billabong clothes, I can stand out of the crowd. The design is really something that catches me.
However, there is also a downside of Billabong products. I find it that in almost of the things that I bough from them that it is not highly durable. It’s like they are almost disposable. For example, do not expect that the durability and functionality of bags from Billabong would be the same with the ones you bought in Nike, Adidas and other brands. I know the comparison may not have any basis, but I would just like to point out that in terms of durability, you cannot really count on Billabong.
Even if this is the case of Billabong, I would still buy their products. In the end, it is still my choice. And I have chosen design over durability. Since I would dispose most of my things at some point, I just ignore the issue of durability. I would just hope that someday, Billabong would improve its products on this aspect. For me, design overweighs the durability factor.
I’m not sure if this observation of mine is the same with yours. But for me, this is true and I have proven it so many times. Tell me your experiences!
