Where might I find Swissgear (Wenger) brand backpacks in taipei? Thank you.
In my bedroom.
And before the two of you were sharing the bedroom, where did you meet?
At a Best Buy in New York.
I saw one in Nova in Taichung…check out Nova in Taipei or Gonghua(?) Computer mall…a lot of accessories there
Swissgear, like Northface or Timberland, is not a brand one would expect to find under computer accesories. Did you actually see Swissgear somewhere? They’re owned by Wenger (or Victorinox), the makers of the original army knife. Thanks.
as I told you I am pretty sure I saw them in a shop in nova, that shop only sells bags
and a simple google search shows that:
[quote]A new Victorinox brand store is opened on 12th October, 2009 on the ground floor of Hotel Royal Taipei.
The design of this store is based on the Victorinox flagship store in London. The store houses the latest products of Swiss Army Knives, cutlery, travel gear and timepieces. Please come and visit our shop and experience the 125 years of history of Victorinox.[/quote]
Sorry, they’re owned by Wenger, not Vicorinox. Began with the ‘simple google’ search before posting. An ebayer in Taipei was selling these for a time, but no longer. I’ve contacted him via eBay, but no reply. That’s what a search for Taipei Wenger Swissgear backpack will return. Cheers.
how about a simple pchome search?

Ah, that’s it. Now is this an outfit one can only order online from, or is there a physical location?
If you don’t have to have Wenger specifically, I’ve seen Targus brand laptop backpacks at a small store on the first floor of the Geant (Aimai) building near Miramar (Jiannan MRT station).
pcstore is the online store but they don’t have notebook bags as far as I see but ruten.com.tw has. The latter is a joint venture of pchome and ebay and works like ebay and prices are almost like RRP. What’s bad a about wenger?
Sadly no, there’s nothing at Nova, Taipei. This will have to be an online purchase, as much as I prefer to examine models in person before splurging.
