Patagonia Black Hole Duffel, 40L/55L Why constrained: Patagonia restructured its corporate sales program in 2019 to limit co-branding to B Corps, 1% for the Planet members, and other mission-aligned organizations. The Group Sales program is brand-direct only; non-aligned distributors are explicitly screened out. Fairware is the exclusive Canadian co-branding partner.
