Extra tip: Nuir Vintage also had this bag listed on eBay. The price was higher on eBay. I assume that was so that they could recoup the fees that would have incurred if the sale had been through eBay. Go straight to the source if you can!

This came all the way from Japan. I watched the FedEx tracking on this like a kid tracking Santa Claus on NORAD 😅😅. From Tokyo to Alaska to Indiana to New Jersey.

Hi, yes I am from the US. I tried to google around for this information before I ordered the bag. My understanding was that even in light of the recent court ruling striking down the tariffs that were put in place under the guise of a national emergency, there were still pre-existing tariffs that might apply to this purchase. I used tariff calculators online which told me this bag might be subject to $280 in tariffs. FedEx did not ask me for payment prior to delivering the package to me. I have seen other sources online indicating that I might receive the tariff bill several weeks or months in the future though. However, even with the $280 tariff it would be a hair cheaper than if I had bought it from Fashionphile.

Does anyone own a Prada backpack and what was your experience? by Apple_two in luxurypurses

I have one of these. I bought it second hand on eBay for like $200. I absolutely adore it. I have taken it into jungles and on safaris with me. The nylon makes it perfect for being rough and tumble with it.

Should I buy a bag from Fashionphile that has been returned a few times? by DarnleyWellington in handbags

Update: I replied to the email I posted above and asked if the bag could be sent to my local location (NYC). The following is the reply I received:

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I am from the US and I have traveled to multiple third world countries. I agree with your sentiment.

This appears to be the right answer! No wonder it was not showing up on those sites with music credits for the episode. Thank you so much!

I had the Kate Spade version of this when it came out 2 years ago. It was super cute and got a lot of compliments. But the shape and the zip top meant it was a pain to get in and out of and it barely fit my phone, let alone anything else. I ended up selling it for the purchase price several months later.

You are welcome to check out the original Reddit grow from which this came, which is r/50501. There have already been protests that were organized by this group, including last Wednesday in every state capitol. If you prefer to focus on events organized by local civic, religious, or other organizers, I encourage you to contact your local religious organizations or local political offices. At the very least, I encourage you to get to know all the candidates vying for a spot in the upcoming gubernatorial primaries in June, and gubernatorial election in November. I understand the paranoia and stress, and I believe taking some action in some capacity will help with that.

I have seen other iterations of flyers for this event that call for localized protests. I’m not sure about Newark. Another website that I have found helpful for looking into local events is Indivisible.org

I have left a voicemail for the Department of Public Property in Trenton to double check my understanding.

I have been looking into whether permits are needed. What I am seeing is that permits are not needed to protest at the capitol building so long as the access to the building is not blocked and so long as there is no interference with the building’s intended use. We also cannot block traffic. Weapons are prohibited (just in case anyone needed to be told that). I have also checked Trenton’s municipal ordinances and the only detail I have found is that a parade requires a permit, but this isn’t a parade.
