Latest Updates from Our Project:

Alien Colorway UNLOCKED + Pay Over Time Enabled!
3 months ago – Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 01:48:47 PM

Hey guys! I just wanted to reach out to let y'all know the Alien colorway has officially been unlocked :D Additionally, for those who need it, I've enabled the Pay Over Time feature! This splits payments across 4 months, so once payment is complete you'll receive your survey for the campaign.



The next and final stretch goal will be for the reusable folding bags! When we hit this stretch goal, every single CONPANION will come with a FREE matching bag!



NEW SURPRISE COLORWAY!
3 months ago – Sun, Jan 25, 2026 at 02:33:54 PM

Hey friends! Since we unlocked every single stretch goal within 24 hours of going live, I reached out my backers to ask what stretch goals we wanted next. I got some great suggestions, and since enough of you wanted a green colorway, I came up with a design that I think you will really like: ALIEN!!!

If we reach 60,000 then we will unlock the ALIEN colorway! The alien themed insert will also be available to purchase separately as an insert add-on!

Additionally, I have one last stretch goal for you guys: FREE reusable folding bags for every CONPANION! If we reach 65,000 then every CONPANION will come with a matching reusable folding bag made from ripstop nylon!


Exciting!!! I am confident we'll be able to reach our final stretch goals. Please share with your friends and people who you think might enjoy a CONPANION backpack!

Free reusable bags + Alien themed colorway
3 months ago – Sun, Jan 25, 2026 at 12:39:45 PM

Hey guys! I have decided on a new colorway for our Conpanion. Since there is already a super cute lily pad ita bag live during Pintopia right now, I decided to take the green suggestions in another direction... please check it out! What do you think? I have limited colors I can work with with my current swatch selection, so to be consistant with the fabrics with my other colorways I had to choose from this bright green or a minty color. I chose this bright green because it's perfect for an alien/space theme!



I also have some ideas for some freebies for people who pledge for a Conpanion! I would like to make reusable folding bags that match each themed insert for each colorway so you guys have an extra bag to carry around when the Conpanion gets full! How does that sound?

If you pledged for a Conpanion, please vote in the poll below! :D

All goals funded! New stretch goal?
3 months ago – Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 08:26:00 AM

What a fantastic turnout, hitting every single stretch goal in under 24 hours, that's incredible! And it's all thanks to you! So, what's next? Help me decide on a final stretch goal for this project! Vote in the poll below, or comment on what you think I should make! 

Almost all stretch goals funded!
3 months ago – Thu, Jan 22, 2026 at 09:18:01 PM

Before I get some much needed rest tonight I just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged so far. Thank you for believing in me and my vision. I've had this idea for years and to finally bring it into reality is so nerve wracking but somehow it all turned out OK.

That being said, we're almost finished with funding every single stretch goal in the campaign... Possibly in the first 24 hours!! Every single backer who pledged for a physical reward tier will get a free enamel pin with their pledge, and now to fund the themed inserts! I didn't really have anything else planned after that haha. Maybe I could add another plush toy pendant or another enamel pin to choose from? Tell me your ideas! What should we make as another stretch goal?
