Peak Design and Amazon Basics
 

Amazon destroys their own sellers as a business plan.

Yeah but that's what amazon does - provides a cheaper alternative of its best sellers...

As the video says - If you dont care about materials being ethically sourced or that the people who made your bag being fairly paid etc - then buy the amazon version.

But the reality is that the majority of people DONT really care about that side of things, as they are struggling enough themselves to make ends meet, so simply want the product at the cheapest price possible.

You see this in every market. You go to Target to buy laundry detergent and you can buy Tide or you can buy the no name brand that has the identical packaging only a differnt color and a different name. Costco does it too. I always assumed they had worked out some of a deal with the brand that makes the product and sold the same product under a different name at a much lower price and then kicked back some of the money to the original brand name company.

I love Amazon basics.

However, when it comes to "bags" and laptop cases... I love Waterfield / SF Bags: https://www.sfbags.com/. Expensive but great stuff.

SsangYong is a knock-off seller in auto. Mercs built at Nissan quality and price..
