But a new rumor has sent the TJ&#8217;s internet into a very specific spiral: a dark purple insulated bag may be dropping in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">According to Instagram account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/traderjoesobsessed\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/traderjoesobsessed\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"@traderjoesobsessed\" data-node-id=\"3.1\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">@traderjoesobsessed<\/a>, the upcoming color is allegedly called Purple Rain (yes, Prince, do you hear that?), and while the image shared is just a mockup, it&#8217;s already enough to send fans and collectors alike into pre-drop mode. If you thought the dusty blue cooler bag had people lining up last month, just wait until its much moodier, main-character purple cousin shows face.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">As someone who has covered Trader Joe&#8217;s and their bags long enough, you know the bags aren&#8217;t just bags. They&#8217;re merch. They\u2019re status symbols. They&#8217;re occasionally flipped on resale sites for truly unhinged prices. So even a rumor of a new colorway is basically a bat signal for TJ\u2019s superfans.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The comment section is already acting accordingly. \u201cYou KNOW I need this color,\u201d one person wrote. Another called it &#8220;stunning,&#8221; while several fans admitted they absolutely do not need more bags but will still buy multiple anyway. Someone else said they\u2019re holding out for mini versions\u2014which, if history repeats itself, will be absolute madness all for the price of $2.99<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To be clear, Trader Joe&#8217;s hasn\u2019t confirmed anything just yet, and the image, again, is just speculative. But a potential heads-up is still nice, as cooler bags in unexpected colors can sell out fast and become instant collectibles.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So if Purple Rain actually hits stores? Good luck, and try not to lose a limb.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rumored new Trader Joe&#8217;s insulated bag in a deep purple shade called &#8220;Purple Rain&#8221; is circulating on Instagram.
