“This is it… is terrifying” – Hugh MacLeod (from his daily cartoon series)
2 posts, and a reference in each to Hugh MacLeod’s art. 🙂 Keep up the amazing work Hugh. Yes — I couldn’t agree more.
This is it. Time to start sharing more about Badass Backpacks. And it is a bit scary. My mother recently shared beautiful wisdom about her own experiences with the need to finally give birth to a project you’ve been working to create. When it’s time to launch, when it’s time to ship: it’s time.
Our maker (collaboration of Tucker&Bloom and Rock Solid Sewing & Design) recently shipped us our very first 4 bags. No longer a prototype to hide behind -real and vulnerable… Our first official production bag:
… it’s not perfect. (of course it’s not perfect). But we’re awfully proud of it. We think it’s really badass. 🙂 I’ll be posting some highlights of the bag here over the next few days. It’s eating me up inside that we’re still not ready with the following bags from this short production run*. We’ll get there as quick as we can. Nonetheless, it’s time to “ship”. And in this case, shipping means: it’s time to start sharing more about this amazing bag.
Pictured above is bag 1 of 100. It has me smiling ear to ear. I can’t wait to share more about what it is you’re seeing in this above photo. This is it… “it might work, it might not work” … and yes, that’s terrifying… in the most exhilarating way possible. 🙂
* These first 4 bags are the first 4 of 100. These are being used as our QA run, and there are some ever so slight changes which have us a touch delayed on getting the remaining 96 built. For those of you who have been asking — THANK YOU!!! We’ll have to sit tight for a touch more time as we work out some kinks to get production underway. Drip by drip… we’re almost there.
