    I already don’t understand why anyone would overpay for a “designer” anything - I know their reasoning, it’s just stupid though. So I extra can’t understand why anyone would buy an overpriced, analog product that goes out of it’s way to digitally track you. I mean my phone I get, but a bag? I can get a bag dirt cheap that won’t tell the company or cops where I am.

      It doesnt digitally track you. It’s tag has a number that they record with your name when you purchase, even if you don’t register the warranty.
