The Umbra Collection was released in Fall 2024 and we wanted the color palette to feel like autumn in the deep, dense forest of the PNW forests. With each special collection, we tried to make the colorway feel unique when applied to classic Swift bags.
The goals for this collection:
A smaller collection comprised of best-selling bags
Use fabrics we had already had in our warehouse
2-3 bags, no resale items
Initial brainstorm ideas:
Reverse fabric to show sailcloth reinforcement layer
Stick with classic Swift Industries label
Color blocking!
