Design Questions with Jose

[MaiaH]

Hi everyone!

I recently sat down with Jose to ask him some design questions about the Bantam. I hope you enjoy!

None of those look like paisley! 😭

Unless the paisley pattern is printed with invisible ink that only fluoresces under blacklight!?

There could be secret messages printed on every bag!

I see the word tidal so I wonder if it is shades of blue.

left to right, tidal, acuity, something new and dark, island, nordic (total guess)


after further contemplation, I'm leaning toward the super light one being new (featured position, no writing on it) hard to imagine something being that much lighter than tidal though.

Well, just to mess with our heads even more, I'm pretty sure based on previous comments they've made that they get more than one version (dip) of the target colour to check it out against the other fabrics, different lighting, etc, before they pick...so some of those might be variants from the dips, not the final new ones or the current halcyons

<evil grin>


ETA: hedd the Acuity blue is even paler/lighter than Tidal

Jose is that a custom-color 5/8 strap since you work there or is it a buy option somewhere? Can't be a 16 inch key strap (as those have color options), that would be too short I'm sure. Just curious! No issue if its a custom thing by/for you.

Welcome to the Forums GaryValentine - good catch on that.

I'm not Jose obviously, but the strap looks like Coyote to me and you can hook keystraps together... but it would be cool to know if they've been contemplating other 5/8" shoulder strap colours and certainly that would be a more elegant solution.
If you don't hear back on these Forums (not sure how often Jose drops in) you can always shoot an email to Customer Service and ask there as well.

thanks a ton!
