Cafe Bag/New Colors question

[Janine]

Do we have any idea when the new Cordura colors will be available, and if they will make it to the Cafe Bags soon? I'm thinking of picking up a Cafe Bag now, but I'll kick myself if a new color comes out 3 days after I place my order. :-)

ETA: Hold up, I have confused myself. The Cafe Bags are Cordura, but it's ballistic nylon that's coming in new colors? Help!

Janine the relatively new Conifer is a Cordura color for the Cafe Bags, just sayin!

Yes -- it's new 1050d ballistic nylon colors that we will soon announce. No new Cordura colors are planned.

Thanks for straightening me out, Darcy!

And backpack, Conifer is very tempting. I wish there was a swatch pack that we could order so that we could see the fabrics in person before making bag selections.

When I am unsure about a color, I do the next best thing, order the Mini Organizer Pouch in that color.

For an investment that is lower that what a swatch pack would cost, I get to experience the new color, if I love it, I use it and order more item in that color, if I am not thrilled by it, the Mini Organizer Pouch is used to store something I need to keep around but not under my nose which means inside my Tom Bihn Bags.

Alternatively, it could be given out to a friend or family member with something inside such as a gift card, a local public transport electronic card with some trip money in it, a mini first aid kit, mini sewing kit, emergency manicurel kit, emergency bike tire repair kit....

The possibilities are endless.

That's a good idea. I am working up an accessory order now, so your advice comes at the perfect time!
