Shinola

Shinola's products are for you if you value craftsmanship and a nod to "the old ways" of designing and building products. In general, you pay a premium for style over substance, but hey if you love style then Shinola products are great. Watches: Beautifully designed, plenty of options, but a bit overpriced for what they are, especially if you are in to watch collecting. I have picked up some great deals on quartz watches at Shinola's factory outlet, which is one of the few brand outlets that sell discontinued stock Leather goods: IMO, this is Shinola's bread and butter. I have had my backpack for 5 years, traveled extensively with it, and it's showing no signs of wear. Plenty of pockets and storage, and just quality through and through Notebooks: Another Shinola staple. Love that you can customize/monogram the notebooks and I really like that there are so many combinations of color, size, and format. Time to say bye-bye to your Moleskin. Headphones: Unfortunately, discontinued. BUT, I love putting these bad boys on. Are they the best headphones out there? No, but damn do they feel/look great and go great with a glass of scotch.

My wife gifted me the Shinola Argonite-5021 so it has sentimental value. But it's definitely been the best watch I've ever owned. It looks modern, yet classic. Has a solid heft to it. I loved that it's a nice watch that isn't showy. I can wear it with a suit or jeans and a T-shirt. I'm also a sucker for premium packaging and love the wooden box it came in. (I'm the type of person who keeps iPhone boxes for years after purchase)

I have been enamored by the American experience that is Shinola. Design and precision are at the heart of all of their products. I own a watch or two, a huge clock, a bag and I believe a baseball, and very recently stayed at the Shinola Hotel in their hometown of Detroit.

Nice products but really difficult customer service. I had an issue with my order and they were really challenging to contact. Additionally, I tried to return a purchase and the item was lost in the mail and I wasn’t able to receive a refund.

I live in Detroit and have accumulated some staple pieces from Shinola in my time here. I don’t usually care for leather products, but all of my leather goods are from Shinola and I am in love with them point blank. I have a tote, wallet, laptop bag and sunglasses case and all of these things are able to withstand any wear and tear I subject them to in my travels.

I love gifting the journals to people and if you live near a store, getting them monogrammed is a nice touch!

My fiance bought me a personalized Shinola notebook for our first Christmas together a few years ago. It has a sturdy cover that has lasted for 4 years now and a sturdy spine. Definitely worth the price for a high quality product

very high quality and attention to detail. Have some of their accessories and my father swears by their watches. A bit out of my price range though...

I have some leather watchbands for my Apple watch that are beautiful and really elevate the watch.

Beautiful products. The watch I own from Shinola has been in good working condition for over 5 years. Plus, the staff will replace the old watch batteries for free at the store. Super friendly and helpful staff.
