The Details...
Our next debut will be on Monday, December 2nd, as is tradition. The items debuting will be in-stock and ready to ship; the short timeline doesn't allow us to take pre-orders and guarantee they'd be able to ship for delivery by or on December 24th.

A note on quantities
We haven't been able to make quite as many of some of the debut items as we would have liked, mostly due to some delays in receiving materials. We've made a good amount, but depending on what you guys think of what we've made, we may not have made enough. We'll just have to see.
And if that's the case -- if a bag is popular or sells out -- we try to be ready to make second production runs and restock them before 12/13 (last day for UPS Ground shipping guaranteed delivery by or on 12/24) but even that is up in the air for some of the items because we're waiting for additional materials. We will do our best to update this thread with news as we have it on 12/2 and beyond.
Know this: if an item sells out, we will be able to make more in December (even if it's late December) or into January and February. So, there's no missing out, at least for the near future.
Will these designs continue to be available beyond early 2020?
Here's where things are getting interesting: our production capacity will likely remain stable, and yet Tom and Nik are designing tons of new bags. Big bags, small bags, all kinds of bags. And we're bringing in more fabrics, more colors, trying new stuff. It's a lot of fun. And at the same time, we already make a large variety of colors, fabrics, and designs for a company our size.
We of course saw this coming, and have implemented various efforts to help us manage this. One of those efforts was the pre-order system; that system allows us to semi-retire some designs and bring them back for occasional pre-order production runs (if our data indicates it's worth the production time to do so and we have the materials necessary).
Anyway, this is all to say: the 12/2 debuts will be available at least into early 2020 and possibly beyond. And at some point in 2020, it is likely we will retire or semi-retire some designs to make way for new designs that will be coming. We'll give plenty of heads-up before retiring any designs.
