Due to Phase 1 reopening in Washington State, we can now ship orders placed for bags!
See this blog post for more details.
Several weeks ago, when we asked for clarification as to whether we could ship existing stock of bags as well as masks, we were informed that bags were not considered essential: it wasn’t permissible to ship bags. We of course wanted to honor that decision, so that’s when we stopped shipping bags. Due to Phase 1 reopening in Washington State which allows retail stores to offer curbside pickup, we can offer curbside pickup and we can now ship orders placed for bags, which we’re really excited about for a number of reasons — mostly, we finally get to finally ship the bags you’ve been ordering!
We’ll continue to manufacture and offer “buy one, give one” Reusable Cloth Face Masks as we resume shipping bags; organizations/communities in need continue to send us many requests for donated masks.
Our first goal will be to ship all of the orders that have been placed in the last several weeks. Those of you who have pending orders will receive an email from us soon with more details. Thanks to some logistics and systems work, those of you with pending bag orders will be able to add Reusable Cloth Face Masks to your orders if you’d like to do so; the masks will be restocked on Tuesday. That also means that, beginning Tuesday, you can place one order that has bags and masks in it. After the existing orders ship, we’ll begin shipping new orders within 1-3 days of when they’re received.
We are also working on a list of designs and colors that will be retired immediately. Phase 2 is when non-essential manufacturing can resume, but Washington is still in Phase 1. It’s possible that once we’re in Phase 2 as a state, it will have been a couple of months since we were last able to manufacture bags — and because of that, it’s unlikely we will ever be able to catch up and restock everything. There are various bags in mid-process on the factory floor, and we’ll make a list of those bags as they likely include some of the designs that will be retired. I realize that’s a lot of big news in a few sentences. We’re having a lot of conversations and brainstorming about how the company will look going forward: we want it to be sustainable, exciting, innovative and scrappy and strong for us and for you guys too. I'll share more information as soon as I have it.
