If you've already purchased the sack you can't purchase it again. At least that's how i've checked to see if an alt has it when i'm in the Vanguard base and can't recall. If i don't have enough merits and i'm not near the base then it doesn't really matter to me. YMMV

Well, the question came up when looking at alts that have some V-merits but not enough for the sack -- should I go accumulate merits to earn the sack, or do I already have it?

Check how much salvage you can hold. At lvl 50 a character can hold 50. +2 per Invention badge of lvl 25-30 earned. +2 for selling 50 salvage on the market. +10 for the sack.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

In other words, no. There is no badge or anything indicating that a character has the sack or not. All you can do is compare your current storage limit with what you should be able to hold without the crafting badges that grant extra storage.
Thinking about it, I believe that if you've purchased the sack, you won't get it as an highlighted option (it will be greyed out) in the Vanguard menu even if you've got enough merits for it. Not for sure about that, but I think that's how it works. I only have one character that's bought one.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
I'm fairly certain if you buy a Vanguard item, it completely disappears from the list. That's what happens to the costume options anyway.

That's my experience as well.

As mentioned, if you already bought it, it shouldn't even show up on the list anymore. That should make it pretty easy to tell, regardless what your merit situation is.

You should be able to see it on the list even if you don't have the merits for it, assuming you haven't bought it. Just be sure the toggle for (something like) "Only purchaseable items" is off. It's on a drop-up/down on the lower right of the purchase window.

Oh yeah. That too.. The dropdown menu is called "Hide..." and the OP should make sure "Recipes missing ingredient" is not checked. That will ensure it will show up on the list if it hasn't been purchased already.. even if they don't have enough merits.

This. I just took a character that didn't have it (too low to even get the badge that allows you to collect Vanguard merits) and it shows up on the workbench as long as you don't have the Hide "Recipes missing ingredients" checked.|

My characters that do have it, it doesn't show up for them.

I just bought one on a different character a few minutes ago and it does disappear from the list once you buy it.
