Willow design it closing. It looks like they have a few cube cases left  
for $100 each (down from $146).

If you ever wanted one, better buy now.

" 'All Willow cases are hand sewn in small batches by individual  
seamstresses,' said Peck. 'This has guaranteed superb quality, but this  
has been an expensive way to make the cases. With increased competition  
of offshore made cases produced at labor rates of .22 cents to .30  
cents per hour, we found we just couldn't compete.'

Peck noted that he did have two other options: decrease the quality of  
the cases or move production offshore, but neither of those were  
acceptable to him.

Willow Design is offering a final closeout sale on all of its stock  
before they close the doors on February 29. "
