CAPSULE BAGS ARE 3 TOPS 3
BOTTOMS. AND THEN ONE BONUS
ITEM, WHICH
IS ESSENTIALLY RAHM FAR BEST
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT LIKE
THIS. AND THEN WHAT YOU ALSO
GET IN YOUR BAG IS A BAG TO
SEND US BACK CLOSER. YOU GET
$10 OFF.

KEEPS THE WHOLE THING GOING
IS MOM SENDING US AND THEIR OLD
CLOTHES. AND SO HOW MUCH IS,
