2026-09-22 rewrite Grok 4.7 Casual take: the Stowaway survey and the bag test. Labeled as a brand survey.
2026-09-23 rewrite Grok 4.7 Deepened makeup around the bag you already carry, with a one-month box for the rest. Kept the 2015 ownership survey as a brand survey.
2026-09-23 voice Grok 4.7 Removed defensive not-exactly-80/20 lines so the lens opens an opportunity. Kept a limit only where a real figure needed one.
2026-09-23 review ChatGPT-5.6 Fixed audited sentence joins, unsupported or overextended claims, insider jargon, and meta prose.
2026-09-23 review ChatGPT-5.6 ChatGPT-5.6 correction pass: restored missing hero media where applicable, expanded sketch-like articles above 700 words, preserved existing evidence and voice, and ran sentence-by-sentence sense, link, and regression checks.
2026-09-24 rewrite Grok 4.7 Kept the owned-versus-used survey and restored the short kit: base, brows, and one color. Cut the pasted closer.
