New blog post: Thoughts on patterns and notches

[Darcy]

Happens here at the factory, too.

[Darcy]

Weirdness. Will look into this: in the meantime, I just approved your post!...

[Darcy]

No new colors will be offered in the second pre-order. Hope that helps!



Quoting this because it has so much helpful info!...

[Darcy]

We have seen a lot of cats-and-bags photos but this one is definitely a first!...

[Darcy]

It made my day to see this recognition for MatthewR and the customer service crew! Thank you nolegrl and I'm glad he was able to get that strap into your order....

[Darcy]

I'm glad! Our plan is to, over time, transition the other pages to that format, so everyone else: speak now or forever hold your peace!

Isn't anyone going to miss my incredibly long text-only product descriptions?! <-- I am feeling limited by the emojis I can select. Speaking of:...

I love it when this happens and I get to share the news: the Side Kick *will* be offered in Night Walk/Tidal...

Oh! One more website update that's in the works: we're looking at apps that'd do a better job of managing blog comments. We're getting lots of great questions and feedback in response to recent posts, but no one knows when we respond to their comment unless they go back and reload the blog comments...

This week, Tom was patterning a reissue of a vintage bag. We asked him how it was going, he answered, and we made it into this blog post:
Thoughts on: Patterns and Notches

[Darcy]

I appreciate you taking the time to share with us what isn't working for you! It's been a busy week and my brain isn't at its best for various reasons, so I'd like to make sure I'm understanding: are you offering these suggestions because of the Trinity being delayed further, or because we've shared...

[Darcy]

Thanks for the continued feedback, everyone! While we haven’t had time to respond until now, we’ve been monitoring this thread and pushing broken stuff/critical issues to our developers, as well as making a list of changes for the next edition of the site.

EDITED: we just fixed that...

[Darcy]

I'm sad to say not anytime very soon! At this point, we're estimating a late 2022 release for the Trinity....

[Darcy]

Thanks for making sure I saw this! The LGD in Night Walk won't be part of Thursday's restock: the colors listed as In Production are the colors that'll be available. Thinking it'll be available around early-mid September or thereabouts. Hope this helps....

[Darcy]

That’s a question that is difficult to answer. When we’ve made predictions in the past and haven't always been right. That said, we don’t expect the pre-order to sell out quickly — if it did, we could open a second pre-order. Beyond that, we’re wrestling with a foam shortage on the supplier...

[Darcy]

I think the photos I took are showing the darker sides of Night Walk. I'll take a few more today/tomorrow and try to capture the lighter side!

And yes, the Maker's Bag and Paragon will be offered in Night Walk!...

It's a work in progress, but here's the beginnings of a Techonaut FAQ:

[Darcy]

Yay! Thanks for letting us know.



Due to some materials delays, the Techonaut review samples are being sent out just this week — so, later than usual. Some folks might post reviews or first thoughts as early as this week — we’ll see.

We’ll also be taking...

[Darcy]

Worth noting when making a fabric choice: it's very likely the Techonaut will stand up on its own when packed, providing you've also packed stuff in the bottom zippered pocket. And that's more likely if you choose 1050d or 525d, and less likely if you choose 1000d or Halcyon.

The zipper...

The "pocket" that our video-making crew used for their shoes is actually the lining of the smallest of the three external quick-access pockets. So, putting a pair of shoes in there is more of a hack than anything else. Sometimes the construction or lining of various designs creates these kindof...
