Looks like I’m spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I’d be purchasing from either place; it’s just another example of Amazon’s enshittification.

        Thats the price of a good quality product produced in decent conditions by a small company in Europe. Maybe could be cheaper if it was facory produced, but not much of that going on anymore is there? Anything lower is either sweatshop, low quality material/work or not produced in Europe. I use this stuff and can highly recommend it. You can check my posting history if you think I go around promoting a random buisness.

        Difference is the quality.
        The listed item may break after 10 months or is not comfortable.
        Meanwhipe this holds up for >5 years and feels very good.

        You pay for actual wages, quality assurance and not being subject to cancerous dyes they use over there without preparing them.

        I will never buy anything plastic on Amazon or AliExpress that will enter my body.

      Lmfao 170€ for a bag. Are you people rich? If Europe can’t produce a good quality 50€ bag ethically, it doesn’t deserve my money either. It’s a fucking BAG

        If it holds up longer, start by divind it by each year you use it daily for.

        Once break even, determine if it’s still too expensive .

        Buy cheap, buy twice.
        Buy decent, buy once (for longer time).

          No, no and no. Artificial tough fabrics and sewing methods are extremely affordable industrially in 2025. I will not pay 170€ for something that should cost, extremely generously, 50€.
