The Oxford Pin Bag
03/12/22 UPDATE: The Oxford Sample is in and I'm currently working on a few minor changes to make the bag better!
Estimated release date is sometime in late Fall depending on how quick production and shipping is.
APRIL/MAY UPDATE: Please advise that my manufacturer entered lockdown in April 2022 and production on bags has HALTED due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. This will delay pending release dates! Once they're able to continue production and finalize some modifications I've made to the bags, I will have a better idea of when the bags will be available again!
06/08/2022 UPDATE: A final sample is finishing up and will be sent to me in the next few weeks! This final sample has some major modifications that improves the functionality of the bag! Once I've approved the bag for mass production, I'll be posting in depth photos of the bags. Production will begin immediately after I approve the second sample, and production should only take a few months! I will "rush order" these bags, as I know many of you are waiting for a Fall Release (September - November)!
08/31/2022 UPDATE: The final sample has been approved and the bags are currently in production. I have placed a rush order, and a limited amount of these bags will go up for sale in late fall. I will be selling a limited amount of Oxford Pin Bags that will be ready-to-ship in the Fall, and this will be a "SOFT" release. Once sold out, I will host a pre-order for the bags where they'll be available for pre-order for 2 weeks. Please understand that the "SOFT" release will be a limited quantity, as these bags will be "testers." I need to test how well these bags will ship in large quantities before I set up a pre-order. This does not mean that the bags will be flawed. I just needed to order a good amount of bags in order to see how well they do during transit in standard packaging. Photos of the final sample will be posted soon!
10/24/2022 UPDATE: My manufacturer has been officially on lockdown for about a week now. All production has halted. They have estimated that they may return to work in a few more days.
10/30/2022 UPDATE: My manufacturer has officially returned to work and will continue production!
11/15/2022 UPDATE: One of the bigger improvements I made to the bag is the placement of the D rings for the backpack option. After testing the bag many times out at Disneyland and out in general, I found that the bag leaned forward too much. It was a bit odd, and we bounced around a few ideas on how to fix this issue. At first, we thought the best option might be attaching the straps to the handle at the top of the bag. After testing this out for about a month, I felt very wary about this option as it could become a stress point if people fill their bags with heavy items. This is something fairly unavoidable, and I want to make sure the bags last as long as possible. I decided to raise the D rings from the original placement on the back so that there would be a lot of support with the weight, and the bags shouldn’t lean forward as much as it did originally. The third photo on this page is a collage of screenshots I took from a video sent by my manufacturer to show me how the bag rests on someone’s back. I think it looks great!
01/28/2023 UPDATE: The Oxford Pin Bags have been shipped and are on their way to me! It will take about 4-6 weeks for their arrival! Below are some screenshots of the bags from a video my manufacturer sent to me!
03/19/2023 UPDATE: The Oxford Pin Bags are almost here! Their in-hand drop has been scheduled for April 29th @10AM PST! Product photos and details will be posted ASAP!
04/29/2023 UPDATE: The Oxford Pin Bags have SOLD OUT
07/01/2023 UPDATE: I’m currently working on improving the structure of the bag to avoid certain flaws on future batches. Once structure is confirmed, I will have a pre-order for the Oxford Pin Bags in Black and possibly another color variant!
