Glad you like it, @rrhoover! It just went live on the site today. There's a really cool back story on the satchel as well. We're using the profits to help a man I met here in the US who is originally from Ghana, but was here doing his Ph.D. He graduated earlier this year and was in the process of moving back home because he felt an obligation to go back to help his country. He told me how his mother doesn't know how to read, but made sure all her kids went to school. He didn't have enough money to go to college, so after high school he started working at a school as a janitor. He somehow ended up filling an urgent need in the school as a math teacher and earned enough money to go to university and has continued his education since then. The school he attended as a kid is now 60 years old and falling apart. We're teaming up with Stephen and the local community to rebuild his old school with the profits from this bag. We're pumped!

The Questival (cotopaxi's launch event) was amazing. Great community engagement and the products I've got have been great.
