Price (and Fact) Check

With the overall Russian theme of the collection, I am skeptical of his answer. He kindly holds up the t-shirt for me, allowing me to snap a few iPhone photos of the shirt, and tells me that the tractor on the shirt is the first Lamborghini tractor. 


At this point, my nose is still filled with some Lancôme scent pushed upon me in the mall hallway. I ask Eyad about the perfumes, and he gives me a sample of the latest perfume Marc Jacobs has to offer. He dabs some “Dot” onto a small Marc Jacobs branded card. I shake it to dissipate the alcohol. 



I explain to Eyad why I am hunting for reproduced images, and he writes his name on the card in both Arabic and English. I introduce myself as well. 



I go back to check the price of the t-shirt. It isn’t marked, so Eyad scans the tag and makes many keystrokes to summon the price, 400 dirhams.
