Excellent overview, and cool that you are honest. Yep, it’s style of practicality as usual. Looks ace on a photo but after a few weeks of use all that lovely white gear is just gonna look grubby (hence the wee brown mat to sit your bag on haha).
You bought 3 (?!?) record players? One to use, one for spares and one unboxed? So that’s where half of their stock went! Looks like you’ve a got yourself a collectable in record (hoho) timing my friend!
If anyone is after one of those £250 backpacks but wants something more durable and larger then I can recommend the Roland Boutique bag. It costs under £50. And then just sow a TE patch over the logo.
