Karrimor used to be a famous Yorkshire based manufacturer of
outdoor wear and equipment. The brand now seems to appear on
cheap crap made in the far east.
The name was bought by Sports Direct almost 20 years ago and is now used
on "Budget" outdoor items.
The old Karrimor rucksacks I come across in the charity shop I volunteer
in are usually still going strong and saleable, unlike the more recent
Karrimor trainers and boots.
