Baron Fig Launches New Bag Line: The Tote, The Backpack, and The Messenger

May 2, 2017

It's hard to believe that it's been exactly four years since Baron Fig launched the Confidant notebook via Kickstarter, and the company has grown quickly since. Baron Fig's product lineup now includes not only the Confidant, but the Vanguard notebooks, the Squire pen, and the Archer pencil, all of which are also available as a part of a limited edition subscription service. But Baron Fig isn't done! The Company is expanding yet again, launching their third Kickstarter campaign and announcing a new line of three bags: the Tote, the Backpack, and the Messenger.

All three bags will be available in two colors: Charcoal or "Fig Wine," and feature a privacy pocket, cotton weave straps, tool pockets, and more. 

“Our six-person team produced over 50 iterations of these bags over the past year, so we’re excited to debut the results to the world.”
— Adam Kornfield, Co-Founder

I'm not really a backpack guy, but I will probably be all-in on either the Messenger or the Tote. The pricing looks good, with the Tote priced at $45 for an Early Bird / $50 for Campaign / $55 Retail; the Backpack at $85 Early Bird / $90 Campaign / $95 Retail; and the Messenger at $75 Early Bird / $80 Campaign / $85 Retail. There is also an "all the bags" option and some bundles that include special editions of other Baron Fig products. You can find more details here, on the Kickstarter page.
