Is Piperlime now an authorized Tano online dealer? How do you think their selling Tanos might effect the brand?
And also, is this bag here just older, or from Anthropologie?
Thank you SO much for doing this for us!

You're welcome.
As far as authorized online dealers go, technically, any authorized Tano dealer is "permitted" to sell their stock online. Piperlime is now an authorized Tano dealer, so there is nothing wrong with it.
On the other hand, on their website, Tano only lists 2 online stores as "reccomemded" e-tailers. See here:

I know that Piperlime has great customer service, so perhaps if they continue to grow their Tano business a lot they will get "recommended" by Tano as well at some point in the future. In order for Tano to "recommend" an e-tailer, they have to reach a certain consistent volume of sales AND have a proven track record in terms of providing outstanding customer service AND a wide selection of Tano products.
How do I feel about it? I love Piperlime- I think its a fresh, cool and fun site, with great CS. I think its great exposure for Tano, and I think consumers will have a positive experience buying Tano bags from them, unlike from lots of the other litle sites out there selling Tano bags online that they dont even have in stock, etc., so I'm all for it!
The shopper you posted looks like a grape shopper from Anthropologie. I say that because it doesnt have the standard nylon lining that the shopper usually does. I cant say for sure, though.
