When I first looked at this Chinese import from the Dollar Store I thought that it was much too straightforward to qualify as a product I love because of really bad translations on the packaging. But then I saw that the spelling of Protective had mutated to ProteEtive. So I started nosing around the packaging and found that it very much lived up to my high expectations for cheap products coming from the Orient.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Although I’ve never heard a clothing garment bag referred to as a \u201cDust Protective Set\u201d let alone a \u201cDust ProteEtive Set\u201d, it’s\u00a0pretty clear to me that these are, in fact, garment bags. However, I’m really not sure how I’m supposed to be \u201csweeping neat\u201d or what the act of sweeping has to do with anything proteetive anyway.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Similarly, I’m very happy that \u201cthe dust protective defends the tide\u201d but I’m not sure what the ocean has to do with anything. And the cover of a \u201cDust Protective Set\u201d doesn’t seem to be the right place to start a song lyric. I’m also grateful that my new garment bags are \u201cbeautiful generous\u201d though I prefer those qualities in people. I almost thought that the last selling point was about to make sense but ultimately am much happier about the forgotten ‘c’ in “practial convenience” than if these people had enough money to hire a skilled translator.<\/p>\n

As far as the graphic goes, I understand the garment bag and the suit that goes in it but I’m not sure what that loaf of bread looking green thing is doing there.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Perhaps it’s just another illustration of the proteetive bag lying prone to show you that it can be \u00a0overstuffed, or oversteefed, with clothes. I do hope that the bags themselves are constructed better than the title of the product, though I would never rip the plastic to get them out as I’m far more concerned with proteeting the sanctity of the Proteetive packaging than I am about proteeting my clothes.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
