02.23.10 Closed Temporarily

Hey Everyone,

As I am sure you have already noticed, our web store is going to be closed down for a little while, in preparation for the launch of our new line of Messenger Bags (03.08.10)! If you have placed an order with us on/or before today (2.23) it will be completed and shipped by Friday (2.27) at the latest!

We are very sorry for the inconvenience that this may be causing some of you, but please try and keep in mind, it's for the greater good! We are a very small company consiting of an extensive line of hand made products, produced in-house. Every time we release a new product, the process of making it available to you, can be very time consuming, and make other tasks quite difficult, to keep up with. With that said, sit tight, because we'll be back on March 8th, just in time for our release! Did we mention that we will be offering free S&H on all domestic messenger bag orders placed throughout the Month of March?

If this all sounds new to you, scroll down and check out our previous Blog posts, so that you can catch yourself up! We uploaded some more photo's to our Flickr, so head on over to check em' out, and tell us what you think! http://www.flickr.com/photos/transientbags/




























See you soon!

2 Weeks to go!

Hey Guys, here's yet another update! I'm really trying my hardest to keep everyone in the loop as much as possible. We have a little over 2 weeks to go until our launch date (March 8th!!) and needless to say, we have been scrambling to get a million things done in preparation.

To Kick things off we will be offering 5 colors (Black, Olive, Brown, Red & Blue) in 3 sizes. All colors and sizes will come standard with a Black Ballistic nylon base, and a strip of reflective taps running along the base edge. As always, the bags are hand made to order in-house. In the coming months we will be beefing up our color options (Fabric/Liner/Base/Trim & Velcro) and adding them to the site, so be sure to stay tuned!

I'm sure that some of you noticed, Kyle over at Tracko did yet another brief spread on us this morning. I dropped by Orange20 Bikes the other day, so he could check out our up-coming Small & Medium bags. He ended up taking some awesome photos, that I figured I would share with all of you. They help put the bags to scale, and will hopefully give you guys a better idea of what to expect from us. Modeling the Small and Medium is Ace, and modeling the Large is myself. Keep in mind, he is 5'6" and I am 6'2" so the comparison isn't as exact, as our future scale shot's will be. I have also typed up the measurements for everything, and have released the pricing on all bags.

That's about it for this round of updates, now we get to go make 20 bags from scratch, photograph them, and get them on the site, so that we can finally get them to you!!

Enough Chit-Chat, on to the bags!

SMALL MESSENGER//

The Outer portion of the Small (under the flap) is sectioned off into 7 separate storage areas. 4 Open Pockets, 1 Stash pocket and 2 Pen & Tool Holders. Inside the main compartment, there is 1 additional velcro enclosed pocket spanning the entire inner wall of the bag. As far as the size of the inner pocket goes, it can fit a 15" MacBook (while the velcro won't close it hold's snug, and comes flush to the top of the pocket. It's the perfect size for holding a spare notebook of two, while keeping those pesky book corners, from digging into your back while riding.

While having an exceptional amount of pockets, we have also designed them to stay out of your way when not in use. The large also features compression straps across the base helping to shrink the bag down, when empty (not to mention that it will also cinch down and hold shipping tubes), keeping it nice and comfy, either empty or full.

Release Day Around the Corner!

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to give all of you an update on our upcoming release. We've been crazy-busy trying to juggle a million things at once, in preparation, so please excuse us for leaving you all in the dark. We have been getting flooded with questions and feedback regarding the photo's of our new bags that have been floating around the web. At the moment, we are reaching the final stage of our product research. Our 4, courier "bag-beaters", are reaching the finishing point of their 6-week trial period. We are happy to say (going off what they have been telling us) the bags are holding up great!

We are also happy to announce that we have finally landed on a release date. March 8th we will be having a retail release through our site, where the bags will be available to the public. Shortly after they will be available to our wholesale dealers.


































To kick things off, we will be releasing our first model of courier bag in 3 sizes (Small, Medium Large) falling into a retail price range of $130-$170 (with a 20% discount to you working couriers out there). Full Product specs will coincide with the launch, but let us just say that we are quite happy the end result of these bags.

On a related side-note, I will be attending the after party for this weekends UNHOLY SHEEP SHIT race. Not only are we kicking down some custom hip pouches and accessories, I will also be bringing one of our new bags in each size, for everyone to check out in person. I will also be playing Black Metal DJ for the day.

For those of you in the LA area, you should really try and make it out for this, it really looks like it's going to be a blast. And for those of you that are up for hanging out, and not racing, that's ok too! Come to the Polo Courts in North Hollywood, for the after party, and some Black Metal Polo!
