Sooo we’re working this weekend and I thought you all might want to see a sneak peek at the upcoming Paragon backpack design. It’s going to be offered as part of a large pre-order event in early February.
Design Lab Paragon
Guide’s Edition Paragon
Note that the Paragon is considered limited edition at this time. That means we haven't yet decided if we'll offer the Paragon into the future: we're still catching up making bags after a year of making mostly masks, so we want to keep our production schedule flexible. We are also redoubling our efforts and putting on our thinking caps to do everything we can, when we can, to avoid selling out of stuff too quickly. We like what a customer named Stephen shared with us a couple of months ago: "Just make bags I can buy while sitting at the kitchen island with a hot cup of coffee."
Most recently, we spent 4-5 weeks making V6 Masks and Mask Head Straps to build inventory before they debuted. The Paragon will be offered for pre-order and if the first pre-order sells out quickly, we'll immediately offer a second pre-order with a slightly farther out ship date. We have some other ideas on how we can make ordering new stuff a more leisurely experience and we'll share those plans with you soon.

And, yes, there is a new Halcyon color (offered in both 400d and 200d) listed amongst the options of the Design Lab Paragon. Taiga is comforting, rich without being deeply hued, and peaceful. It’s not bright, it doesn’t command attention, and it’s certainly not for everyone (but what of consequence and interest is for everyone, anyway?) It is quiet, strong, and won’t go out of style: it’s a color of nature. It’s something of a chameleon — the way it looks in a swatch is quite different than how it looks in a bag like the Paragon.
And and… Taiga won’t be the only new Halcyon color offered in the next big pre-order eventWe’ll be revealing another new 200d Halcyon as well (though that one won't be available in the Paragon.)
