Eh pricing where got much diff? The price comparison that Ryoshi posted previously btw the 3 online shops, the slight difference is because while ace-web and headporter officially charge your item in japanese yen, head-porter.org charges the item in USD. There's quite a dip in US dollars recently in terms of currency conversion, so if say u convert USD to SGD (after local bank conversion) somehow if u pay items by USD, it should be slightly cheaper actually.

Hard to find navy for tanker series.

Ordered a zip wallet (tanker series) from head-porter.org in April this year, request for a navy from the website, but was sent the black version. When i email them regarding why it is black and not navy as i order. They din bother to reply.

The quality not bad, very lasting, though u get the fine threads coming out if scratch or brush by sharp items. Overall still thumbs up for the quality

The more I look at the Merge tote, the more I feel it's simply Shati with leather bottom. I reckon I should get something with a slightly different material.

About that, I think I can clarify and explain abit. As a matter of fact Headporter/Porter Yoshida's goods prices are actually pretty controlled in Japan actually, I dun think there's any possibilities they can set the retail prices apart in such a vast difference for the same model. But it's worthwhile to note that usually for conventional products in Japan, they (both wholesalers and retailers respectively) follow an 'open pricing' standard, meaning when they get their stocks from said manufacturers for example Porter/Headporter, even though the manufacturers can have a indicated SRP for the related product, wholesalers and retailers themselves can actually set their own prices, akin in a controlled manner. Take note this standard is only practiced by Japan retailers, doesn't apply to shops outside of Japan.

Like for example, on these 2 websites here and here, both are similiarly selling the same model for 19800yen (excluding tax). Granted they are resellers themselves, sometimes usually if its different online shops there's still some chances that there will be minor price differences in the 100 - 1000+yen range, but nothing too drastic in terms of prices like 13500yen and 19800yen apart. It's quite likely the 13500yen price that u saw in the catalog for the BB zip shoulder bag is an old price or the SRP set by the manufacturer, not the reseller shops.
