Ty Gear
Ty gear was introduced as a product line in the Fall 2017 Ty Retailer's Catalog. The catalog showed five backpacks and five purses. The first Ty Gear purses shipped to some retailers in late June 2017. The backpacks made their retail appearance in mid-August 2017. In late August 2017, the Barnes & Noble online store began selling a Ty Gear owl backpack (Owlette) that was not shown in the catalog.
In October 2017, Ty introduced Gear wristlet purses which began shipping to retailers at the end of October. The wristlets have a different pattern of fabric lining for each different animal. The tush tags for the wristlet purses are inside the purse.
