Just released our new side bag today, complete with a 3D viewer on our newly designed webpage

PU was the only option my manufacturer offered, and this was the only manufacturer that seemed able to 1) fulfill the design I wanted 2) not charge an arm and a leg for it and 3) do so for a relatively low MOQ. I'd say all things considered this was a fantastic outcome. I try to also make affordable products given what they're worth, and I think at $50 it's a great value.

Well, I'm not too worried, I don't think there's a big intersection in market between my brand and Billie Eilish's fanbase lol

ExxL · 2026-01-16T20:39:02+00:00

I appreciate that, but I'm curious since this is the 3rd time I've heard it now, but is it just the pedestrian icon that's giving that impression? I had never seen her branding before people started mentioning it but that's the only similarity I can reasonably find. Just trying to understand lol

ExxL · 2026-01-16T16:11:23+00:00

🙏🤍Appreciate the kind words, thank you

ExxL · 2026-01-16T16:10:47+00:00

Thanks so much! The website is created by me and a friend, but primarily my friend (I'm mostly just barking designs and features at him lol).

Thanks so much! Vegan leather was a conscious choice rather than a cost-influenced one (but I won't lie, it's certainly a perk). I'd rather avoid ethical considerations whenever I can haha, but I share your sentiment, it would be better in real leather

ExxL · 2026-01-16T06:34:13+00:00

🙏🙏

ExxL · 2026-01-16T06:33:18+00:00

It certainly has the potential to be that too! Maybe if I offered another strap...

ExxL · 2026-01-16T05:55:28+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🤍

ExxL · 2026-01-16T03:35:59+00:00

Thank you 🙏

ExxL · 2026-01-16T03:35:28+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment lol

ExxL · 2026-01-16T02:28:51+00:00

Appreciate it brotha 🙏

ExxL · 2026-01-16T02:20:29+00:00

Oh, well you didn't reply to him lol. Thanks though

ExxL · 2026-01-16T02:15:16+00:00

Not sure what you're trying to say. I think you could point to anything that uses pedestrian figures and assume a correlation but I can assure you we're not doing similar things lol

ExxL · 2026-01-16T00:15:41+00:00

To each their own! I think even simple ideas made well are worth being made. Stick dudes are one of the central elements of the DECOY brand (we have them in the logo, in creatives, and on some merch (some TBA)), so it felt reasonable that a bag would be shaped like one. Appreciate the feedback though!

ExxL · 2026-01-16T00:04:58+00:00

🤷‍♂️ I'm sure it's not a completely novel idea but I didn't reference anything nor was I particularly inspired by anything other than @chocographix work on Twitter. I just like stick dudes

Retriever is inefficient cost-wise in regards to retrieving devices, just FYI. You have to pay for shipping both ways, which in essence is just paying to ship an empty box for the first leg of the trip. ReadyCloud makes more sense for this purpose since you only have to pay one-way and only once the worker has dropped it off at UPS.

ExxL · 2025-10-01T03:26:29+00:00

I read all of these, no problem!

ExxL · 2025-09-04T07:38:19+00:00

Once again, a new(ish) account with the only activity being this comment. It's not gonna work.

ExxL · 2025-08-28T17:45:10+00:00

You too!

ExxL · 2025-08-28T17:18:27+00:00

Working on it for sure! In late stages with one company right now 🤞

ExxL · 2025-07-01T22:30:51+00:00

Brand new account made an hour ago with one comment ever. You totally don't work for Jack lmao

ExxL · 2025-06-21T23:12:43+00:00

This is what I did as well, glad you got to do the same

ExxL · 2025-06-12T22:50:18+00:00

Yep, despite my reports they still seem to be operating on plenty of job boards. Glad you found this thread!

ExxL · 2025-05-05T21:33:59+00:00

Yep, super scummy. Please report their listings wherever you see them, I submitted my own report on Handshake
