Lisa P, I thought about that. As much as I understand your thinking and see your side, we don’t really know why this item is inexpensive. It can be a number of reasons, and it’s speculation at best. A cancelled order. Over-supply. Old stock. A reduced price to move stock, and the list goes on. You can get items at H&M for this price point too. And they are a fairly sustainable retailer.
Financial hardships are high at the moment. Everyone has to manage as best as they can with the resources they have available to them. I’ve decided to make this bag a fab find because it will be of value to some people, for their reasons, especially now. The faux leather aspect is appealing.
