Evil hints Darcy?

[Darcy]

Hi Darcy! So it sounds like no new backpacks for a while? Was there a blog post about the new backpack that I missed?

Hi TinKnight

There's several different backpack designs in the works and I don't think we've shared any details about them so far. Because of how the creative process works here (and how we make space for it to work) we don't have an estimate as to when they will be released. I'll share some news when one is 100% for sure done and we've completed the PPB (Pre-Production Batch) for the bag.

Appreciate the product pages posting prior to purchase window opening - much better for thoughtful evaluation, thanks

Noted, and thanks for the feedback: it lets us know what we're doing is a good thing, so we'll keep on doing it.

Yay!!! I'm toteally excited for totes! I appreciate the time to plan my purchase.

Same, I don't like a scrum! There will still be a bit of a frenzy when items come into production (as there was with the Travel Cubelet) but I love a few days to think and plan and I know I am not the only one who considers how new bags and colors fit in with my existing collection.

Oh please, please... let there be a tote/backpack and let there be new colors!

Is the debut still scheduled for this week???

I'm wondering the same. Do they usually send an email to their customer list when there is a launch, or do I need to compulsively check this site?

[Darcy]

We expect the pages for the new designs to go up sometime this Wednesday! Remember: the bags won't be available for order on Wednesday. Everyone will have a few days to learn more about them before we make them available for order.

I'm so, so hoping for a real laptop bag...

Don't want to leave you waiting and hoping so I'll say: while you could carry a laptop or tablet in one of the toteally toterific new designs (I did that yesterday), none of them are laptop bags. Or briefcases, travel bags, or backpacks.

Boo. Was hoping for new clamshell backpack... Will keep waiting!

I am so excited for this. My life right now is a constant game of How Many Bags Can I Hang on the Stroller and the zippered shop bags would help me play this game without worrying about things falling out/being taken out.

How many of us do this almost every day?

I should have taken one yesterday, when I had six bags, a cardboard box, and a sun tent!

Sad to hear that as I’m looking for something for a 15” MBP, but still excited for new totes. I love my LSB and use it every day!
