thats basically a retail cost to since they are not making it themselves.
Yeah, $57 sounds still quite a lot, the material probaly costs like $2 and the cheap exploited labour cost is also like $2, and shipping some dollars per bag.
Edit: if they are actually made in Italy or France, them the labour cost is quite much higher.
Don't forget about all the costs on the website and storefront end then paying the employees/staff, advertising and so... WAIT JUST A GOT DAMN MINUTE 😂
