I think that there is a trick from several branded clothing store to avoid 'cheap' label. One of the trick is by collecting and selling some damaged items to isolated store. In KSA, you can find multiple store from the same brand within a city. For instance, in Khobar, you can find Mothercare stores in Rashid Mall, Khobar Mall, and Corniche. Some times ago, I visited Othaim Mall in Dammam, and there are promotion and sales on some stores. One of them is Mothercare. fortunately, there are some crazy prices that you can find for some unsold items like baby drink bottle and leggings for baby. Those items are still goods. Things that make the price very low is the damaged package and price tags. For those items, I got special shopping bag. here it is.

I also visited the other branch but I can not find the same promotion. I conclude that for Khobar area, to avoid getting cheap label, mothercare stores put their damaged items on Othaim Mall as promotion.
I ,somehow , bought other promotion stuff from Rashid Mall branch and got low prices even though not as low as on Othaim Mall branch. I got also the regular shopping bag.

There is a label saying that the plastic bag is bio-degradable. It means that the bag will decay within short period. Here is the Arabic side.

The design is simple and I think it is not that exclusive considering the regular item prices.
