Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs is marking a major milestone with a Black Friday release aimed at fans of the shop’s dark, gothic style. Five years ago, the now-iconic gargoyle first appeared on the exterior of the bakery. To honor the anniversary, the team revealed an early look at a new collaboration that has been in development for three years: the Gideon’s x Loungefly Gargoyle Mini Backpack.
The new bag places the bakery’s stone guardian front and center, turning the character into a wearable design piece. Gideon’s describes the backpack as the best item they have released to date. The gargoyle appears on the back panel, offering what the bakery playfully calls “mystical protection” to anyone who wears it. The design also highlights the bakery’s signature Victorian-inspired aesthetic, along with bold branding that appeals to fans of Loungefly, Gideon’s, or even those who simply enjoy striking gothic accessories.
Features
- Faux leather (polyurethane)
- Detachable Black Cat Coin Bag
- Ornate Gideon’s interior lining
- Adjustable Wings
- Gideon’s Logo pull zippers
- Sturdy top handle
- Adjustable shoulder straps
- Debossed black print details
The features list shows the level of detail built into the piece. The backpack is made with faux leather and includes a detachable black cat coin bag, ornate interior lining, debossed black print details, and Gideon’s logo zipper pulls. Adjustable wings attach to the back, adding a layered, dimensional look. The bag also includes a sturdy top handle and adjustable padded straps.
The backpack releases this Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern. In their Facebook post, Gideon’s confirmed that more Loungefly items and additional merchandise will be part of its full Black Friday lineup. The bakery will also offer a limited combo pack that includes a free collectible, although those details will not be revealed until Friday morning around 8 a.m.
Black Friday drops have become part of the annual tradition for Gideon’s Bakehouse, known for drawing long lines with exclusive cookies, merchandise, and seasonal surprises. With the introduction of this Loungefly collaboration, the bakery is ready to deliver another high-demand release that blends storytelling, detailed design, and fan-focused collectibles.
