The OP should have just skipped all the manufacturing and design BS. If he wants to get the bag (of money), just make throwaways and say your parents are poor on TIFU until it goes viral.

Not everywhere is America 👍

That's the funniest part- he is the marketing department.

Done that, now what?

How do you define success?

Until you have sales, how do you know if your design is a success or not?

I have a hard time accepting that a $140 backpack for little kids will succeed. Maybe with the right endorsement from trendy influencers you might get a few of the Lululemon crowd to drop the kind of cash on a kids backpack. The mainstream market could never support that price point.

$100 for a bag is relatively cheap tbh but not a child’s bag though.

Check out peak design, wndrd and many other brands.

My kid is 12. He's on his third backpack because he wanted a pokémon one. It was 25 dollars.

Why wouldn't I buy a Jansport with a better warranty?

This feels like one of those etsy flips.

Come visit those of us who are bag enthusiasts at /r/manybaggers .

I’ve got a collection of about 50 bags at the moment…

Sure they don't but a quality product lasts longer.

Mmmm, it’s actually is a passion of mine.

I’ve always liked bags and been playing with different bag designs especially backpacks.

Come to /r/manybaggers for folks who like bags.

It all started when I couldn't find a backpack for my kid. Where were you looking for backpacks?

I understand the outrage over the price and the lack of justification for such a high price but man why is everyone suck a dick online. We wouldn't talk to each other like this if we were standing next to each other.

Yeah, it was years' ago, and they were in the $70-$80 range, but I had an Eastpack backpack in College for the whole nearly 4 years and that was basically indestructible, with books than weighed a ton.

I know, that's basically buying an adult backpack that's a bit more functional than one marketed for kids at $50 (US). I have done it but I would have to think very hard about anything beyond that.

Whats your favorite color?

How much does each backpack cost to make?

Meant to last? Bro it's a young child's backpack, if they don't lose it they're going to outgrow it and need a larger one in a few years anyway

He in fact did not quit his corporate job because this has corporate written all over it. Who quits their job to R&D kids backpacks?
