Quality issues and this tag needs to be removed

One suitcase is missing stitching along the zipper causing the padding to loosen and requiring me to dig up old sewing supplies to fix it. I ordered three pairs of these cushion covers complete with a new cover for my old ugly sofa. I was delighted to receive them so quickly and immediately added the insoles and a few extra polyfills that I bought. At first I was very impressed. The colors match the product photos perfectly, the fabric is soft and looks like it will hold up well to everyday use, and I now have some nice, comfortable throw pillows to invest in. However, one of the 6 pillowcases I received has clearly never been seen by anyone in QA. The stitching along the zipper is missing in three places, leaving small holes just big enough for the stuffing to crawl through. Returning it isn't really an option due to the cost of a return label if I want to collect it or a trip to our pandemic world if I have to ship it myself, so I had to dig to collect my old sewing kit instead. Remove the upholstery needles and threads and sew a blind stitch. And to be honest, if I wanted to sew, I wouldn't spend money on ready-made covers in the first place. The other (minor) problem I have is the tag. These pillowcases are constructed in such a way that even the zippered portion is almost invisible, but then the company has to sew their brand label right into the seam, where it's almost impossible to remove and detracts from the otherwise great-looking pillows. Why? It's not like I have guests who see the pillows, remember the brand name and buy them for themselves. It serves absolutely no purpose other than to annoy me. So yes, these are really good, really affordable pillowcases, and most of them are great quality. But I think next time I'll just spend more to get *everything* good quality and without those pesky labels sticking out.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
