Looks like I'm spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I'd be purchasing from either place; it's just another example of Amazon's enshittification.
I just assume they're all scammers, the real challenge is finding one outside of that scope.
Because I've bought products when I've faced similar situations like this. Bought it, then that merchant mysteriously disappeared, never to come up again.

I will also throw in for a chrome bag. I've had a messenger for a decade and its a tank. I got it made left handed. https://chromeindustries.com/products/citizen-24l-messenger
It's like ebay in 2003.
just went through this myself
needed a gooseneck phone mount for tomorrow morning. nothing local has something suitable, so damnit amazon it is
oh look, it's dozens of the same product, using the exact same photo often even, from random shit brands
I've been doing pretty good at avoiding amazon for the past year or two, but every two or three months there's something that I just can't get somewhere else on the timeline I need or at a reasonable price
Just get a used Filson off eBay. I'm not even sure why you would consider anything else

I hate to say it, but I almost appreciate the honesty that comes from multiple different alphabet soup brands selling the exact same item often with the exact same photos. Additionally, unbranded items aren't always poor quality.
I've actually got some unbranded Christmas light strings I bought because I just wanted to put some lights on some columns at my wedding and wanted to spend less than $100 doing so, and those light strings have outlasted every commercial Christmas light string I've purchased. Heck I have a couple of those strings which have been on for 3+ years straight.
Most unbranded items are made by factories that do OEM and ODM work for actual brands that we've all heard of, so they know how to make quality products and they can get more ongoing orders if they make products that are worth restocking. Sometimes you get burned but far more often than not I end up with something that's relatively decent quality and fullfills the need I have for the item
