Man, and I thought my authentic ROOTS® backpack was expensive.

Promoting free enterprise. The older kids still get to beat them and also get an expensive backpack to sell on out of it.

You see, because their dim-witted relation imported a container full of them stuffs, and somehow them bags have to be disposed of. So, get the relatives in action and get them each to buy a few. So what if the price is wee-bit high. What are relatives for, if not for cleaning up after the pampered nephews have messed up? Laughing

A wee bit high? Insanity i tells ya.

At least with that North Face jacket trend last winter, they were good quality jackets (albeit overpriced).

But 70만원 for a childs bag ! Surely a 만원 dongdaemum bag would suffice. Or at least a HomePlus or Emart bag.
