Discussion of New Colors, New Designs

[pammy]

If we decide to offer the Guide's Editions in 400d Halcyon, I do think we'd offer them in the new color (along with Black.) We're making the Guide's Edition Paragon in Black and ____ 400d right now, so we'll get to see how it looks in that design pretty soon here. The new 400d Halcyon color is a comforting, rich without being deeply hued, yet peaceful earth tone -- I think it pairs well with the Coyote.

This is very exciting news! Now I'm super curious about that new 400d color. I'm a huge halcyon lover, and prefer it to almost any other fabric. now I'm thinking I will have to get a GE Paragon to test the waters before the GE Synik goes into production. Looking forward to seeing the Paragon in person.

Update! We've been receiving a fair number of questions about that upcoming February pre-order we're planning. We're not quite ready to fully unveil it all because.... most of the bags include new colors and we're just finishing up taking photos of those! (We're also offering some of the Black exterior bags with the same blackout label that debuted with the Icon.) Speaking of one of those new colors, I'm having quite a difficult time capturing the essence(s) of Taiga. You *will* be able to request/receive swatches of the new colors, which is a good thing because it may take a community effort (aka your photos) to ensure everyone gets to see the many facets of Taiga.

Those photos (and further details about the pre-order) will be ready to share next week. In the meantime, here's the list of bags that'll be offered in the first pre-order. If you're not seeing a bag you were hoping for in this list, feel free to ask about it here.... chances are it'll be in the next pre-order or restock after this first one in February!

Hi, any timeframe for the Guide version of the Synik 22 and Synik 30?

It's very likely those will be offered as part of the pre-order after the February pre-order!

@Darcy The Pickup Truck is coming back??

It is! Between all of the requests plus a bunch of the crew here wanting some Pick-Up Trucks, couldn't say no.

@Darcy

To clarify, is the Pick-Up Truck coming back for just this pre-order or unretiring for more than one run?

Yay Ghost Whales!

So the next run of Original Shop Bags will be later than this pre-order I presume - are you thinking pre-order or let 'er rip orders?

Two great questions.

Pick-Up Truck... this very well could be the last opportunity to order. We can't say for sure, but with how busy we expect the 2021 production schedule to be, I definitely don't think it'll be offered again this year.

Original and Zip-Top Shop Bags will be offered in the next pre-order after this first February pre-order.

Pick-Up Truck! Yay! Hopefully this time I can get it in a color that works for me.

@Darcy - I see that the new colour updates for items have a cool new graphic for the 'new color / photo coming soon' - is that more of Dan's work?

Someone in the facebook group spotted that a new 200d halcyon color-Tidal-has been added! Can't wait to see it and Taiga.

There will be a chance to get a sneak peek at Taiga *and* help us test/provide feedback on something that may reduce the rush on debut/pre-order days..... I'll post about it today or tomorrow... stay tuned!

@Darcy that's very exciting news and I'd love get a chance! Will keep my eyes peeled for sure. Will that info be posted here on the message boards or elsewhere like the FB group?

Here and the FB group! If it's an announcement type thing, I make a point to post the same info here in the Forums and the FB group at roughly the same time.

Here's the thing to test and a way to get that sneak peek at Taiga 200d and 400d!
