Yeah, it was years' ago, and they were in the $70-$80 range, but I had an Eastpack backpack in College for the whole nearly 4 years and that was basically indestructible, with books than weighed a ton.

I know, that's basically buying an adult backpack that's a bit more functional than one marketed for kids at $50 (US). I have done it but I would have to think very hard about anything beyond that.

Yes, this is basically a really niche product. I know there are expensive backpacks out there, but this is almost like Gucci for kids (I know, I am exaggerating, but it makes little sense). One can applaud their efforts at making it a go of it, but the pricing doesn't match market reality. This is like trying to be the Apple of kids' backpacks and even then...I am going to ask how many of you are parents here and how many would pay $110 for their kids' backpacks?
