sunglasses for my tween

I'm trying to buy sunglasses for my tween.

The sunglasses had no measurements or age rec so very difficult to buy online.

These will need to be returned as they would suit perhaps a 2 year old.

ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVMENT

Wallets were as advertised and are the perfect hand size and fits all my required cards and money in for the day or two that I need it for. Saves carrying a BIG wallet and everything else around to be optionally lost, stolen or damaged. Products came on time and good quality / value of price. ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVMENT

Really bad shopping experience in City Beach Macquarie Centre on 24/09/2024.
The store manager had bad attitude and not provide the answers and just said "I do not know, call the customer service"

Purchased a school bag for my daughter

Purchased a school bag for my daughter
She put her school stuff in and I told her to tighten the straps on the backpack. She tried but the plastic bits just don't stop the strap which results in the bag touching her bum and actually not being able to tighten it.

Beautiful colour and lots of space, the straps just suck
