Trader Joe's Totes Abroad: The Souvenir Craze
How a $2.99 grocery bag became a global status symbol.

If you're buying internationally, authentication matters even more: verify the colorway against a real drop and judge price by sold comps, not hype.
Buying from abroad? Authentication matters even more — verify the colorway on the drop tracker, use the real vs. fake guide, and judge price by sold listings (see resale value).
