Going for $149 at Planet Traveller.

It's nylon mesh, not even PVC, let alone genuine leather. I just don't understand why backpacks are getting so expensive these days.

Paid to labor in China $0.05
Paid to oem/outsource co in China $2.00
Margin for mfg co $30.00
Margin for retail co $117 - out of that keep 20% for any 'discount' to customer, 30% for mall's share of revenue, 30% for mall rent etc, 20% for retailer.

So you can buy in any roadside stall in China for about $5.

You are right. I'm going to try my luck in Shenzhen next month.

Meanwhile let's see what Pattaya has to offer next week.

FWIW, you can actually get this backpack at $129 at the wallet shop. Bought it 2 weeks ago at AMK Hub. Its a very urban bag and can put many stuffs.

When I had to bring back a lot of stuff from Bkk, I bought a bag from MBK. It was a " The Northern Face" brand. It could have been genuine because there are many Northern Face outets in Bkk & maybe the factory made illegal extras on the side:confused:

Correct me if I am wrong. I believe you need to meet a minimum purchase of S$400. No ?

I will be more than happy to purchase from Amazon if it's not the case.

aiyah............so many online stores selling branded backpacks, sure can find cheap and good deals
