Vendors 1 and 2 have been paid. Vendor 2: lead time 10-12 days, then 7-8 days delivery. Vendor 3: Marvin is meeting with him to design the bag; he will be paid today as well. China factory contacted: prices are very low, but the minimum order is 1,000 per style and they need 4-6 months of lead and design time, so that is for a later, larger order. Updates to follow.
