Forumosa Swag and Tchochkes
Tchochkes? I've never heard this word before, so I had to look it up:
wiki wrote:Tchotchke (pronounced /ˈtʃɒtʃki/ CHOCH-kee) are small toys, gewgaws, knickknacks, baubles, lagniappes, trinkets, or kitsch. The term has a connotation of worthlessness or disposability, as well as tackiness,[1][2] and has long been used by Jewish-Americans and in the regional speech of New York City.
The word may also refer to swag, in the sense of the logo pens, key rings, and other promotional freebies dispensed at trade shows, conventions, and similar large events. Also, stores that sell cheap souvenirs in tourist areas like Times Square, Venice Beach, and Waikiki Beach in Hawaii are sometimes called "tchotchke shops."
Leo Rosten, author of The Joys of Yiddish, gives an alternate sense of tchotchke as meaning a desirable young girl, a "pretty young thing." Less flatteringly, the term could be construed as a more dismissive synonym for "bimbo." These usages are not common outside of Jewish circles. The term (in the form צאצקע, tzatzke, [ˈtsäts.qʕ], with a tsade instead of teth-shin) is sometimes used in modern Hebrew as a slang word equivalent to slut.
Pleasure is spread through the earth In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find. —William Wordsworth

Hats,etc tab should be called 'bags and cases,' seeing as you have no hats, one cap, 13 bags, and a similar number of cases/sleeves.
Apart from that, it all looks very swish, yeah and that Tchochkes word, too niche. Maybe 'booty' or 'loot.'

There are millions of people in the world. And none of those people is an extra. They're all leads in their own stories.
If you lose one sense, your other senses are enhanced. That's why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance.

I don't see any of that merchandise with "jimipresley" written on it. This vexes me somewhat. Are you going for a niche market?
You can live here and have a great life and not be the least bit into living the local life. Clowns will try to diss you for it saying you gotta get down with the program, but fuck em, treat this place like a buffet and yous be on a diet. Take what you want and nothing extra, slam those oysters, but leave the bread sticks and dinner rolls behind. - Deuce Dropper

Where are the forumosa.com condoms? Be sure to make them available in different (font) sizes.
And I think 914 would buy a T-shirt that said: "See! My winkie is the biggest of all of the boys' on forumosa.com!"

Quite the selection. Sadly, the colours of the clothing seem quite limited. White is not my favourite colour for Taiwan's air quality.
Also, it would be nice to know where the clothing is made, only a few items give such an indication.
