IF you haven't yet stocked up on school supplies, bargains still await. Bossini is currently stocking great school shoes for boys and girls at reduced prices. In scuff-resistant genuine leather, and all you need to do (or so the label claims) is wipe them clean.
There are seven modern styles including pumps, T-bars and lace-ups in sizes ranging from 27 to 34. Reduced from $240, they now cost between $90 and $120 a pair. Call 2371 1688 for locations.
Meanwhile, if you're sick and tired of cheap satchels that rip after only a few weeks' wear, head for branches of Marathon Sports. They stock a wide selection of good quality schoolbags and satchels priced from $169 to $359, including a smart blue Nike bag at $179 that's big enough to fit a lunch-box, books and a change of PE clothes.
