I doubt Insider will matter much within the SF customer base - as others have pointed out, Nan already gives us early notice for a lot of the items. I would've been fine not getting it, I just see it as an amusing reward of my early efforts to promote Everlane in
threads like
these, haha!
Yeah, I actually was the one who posted the link to the backpacks "secret shop". For the record, I wasn't part of any 'insider' deal then. I just knew they were planning to make backpacks, saw the Everlane Twitter account reply to someone who purchased one through some 'friends and family' access, and simply guessed the link (haha).
Pictures of the Weekender up on Facebook, looks dope:

Also, putting the expected delivery / stock dates up for each product category is AWESOME. Great addition.
Thanks Samir, I remember our team getting really excited months ago when we saw how enthusiastic you and stevent were about us.

Thanks! We took your feedback seriously when we did the redesign. The bags are much cleaned up from when you saw them.

We tried a few sizes and gave the samples to friends and family for a trial run on some trips - the size we ended up on is 22L x 8.5W x 12H

The straps are designed to be long enough to carry in your arm or around your shoulder - we tried some early versions with shoulder straps, but everyone we tested on ended up shortening them to about this length anyways, so we thought a cleaner design with just one set of straps would be a good way to go.
