    Behind the Scenes at Lumi Co.

    Things are going great here at Lumi Co., thanks to all your support! Over the past week we've been hard at work creating all your rewards. Hundreds of leather wallets, coasters and bags, have been going through our shop and the process has been a fantastic challenge in bringing our technology to production.

    Here are a few behind the scenes shots from our first run of wallets, made exclusively for you, our Kickstarter backers!

    Custom Wallet Upgrade is Available to Early Backers Too!

    Backers!

    We've received several queries about whether our earlier backers can also get the custom wallet upgrade we just added a few days ago... The answer is yes!

    If you originally pledged for the $30 level you can upgrade to $40 for a custom wallet and if you originally pledged at the $60 level you can upgrade to $70 to add the custom wallet option to your pledge.

    Instructions: If you'd like to upgrade an earlier pledge just sign in to your Kickstarter account, and click 'Manage My Pledge' to upgrade. You can always email us at hello@lumi-co.com if you have any trouble or questions.

    Thanks!

    Lumi Co. Speaks at Mindshare LA Event. We've Reached our Funding Goal!

    We're 105% Funded!

    An enormous bear hug for all of our backers. You helped us reach our goal and we can't wait to start working on your awesome products!

    Part of what helped us cross the finish line was the excitement and support we got from the Mindshare LA Community. Mindshare LA is a monthly event in Los Angeles that brings an amazing group of people out in downtown LA. It fosters a tremendous amount of community around emerging technologies and creative talent. We spoke there last night and owe them a big thank you for the opportunity to tell the Lumi story at their event!

    Thanks to Four Eyes Photography for the awesome shots!

    Still 51 hours left and the more pledges we can get the faster we can advance our Lumi technology. The beautiful line of products we created for Kickstarter will only be available until Sunday at midnight!

    See what full funding looks like!! ---> http://ks.lumi-co.com

    THANK YOU!

    The Leather Envelope is here! We'll let the photos say the rest...

    We've been working night and day perfecting Lumi technology, experimenting & prototyping products for our backers!

    Already six backers for our gorgeous Leather Envelope (which also fits a 13in MacBook!), thanks guys!

    This versatile nubuck leather bag measures 14" x 10", features beautiful photography by Dave Lefner, has a zippered closure, and also an internal zip pocket in its soft wool lining. Use it to carry documents for work, your MacBook, or your evening essentials as you run out the door!

    We'll be offering a selection of imagery to choose from for your bag's print! Everyone who UPGRADES their pledge is entered to win a one-of-a-kind t-shirt too!

    Best,

    Genet & Stephan

    Note: If you intend to put your macbook in your leather envelope and don't want an internal zipper because you are worried about scratching no problem! Just let us know and we'll have yours sewn sans internal zipper!

    Tell your friends and win a t-shirt!

    Just a few days ago was a historic day! We printed our first Lumi t-shirt and it turned out beautiful.

    This is the first-ever photographic-quality t-shirt printed on all natural materials! Super wash-fast and super soft (you can't feel the print!), this tee is a sustainable bamboo/cotton blend. Made possible by the Lumi process!

    We'd love to offer all of our wonderful backers and supporters a piece of history! Spread the word about Lumi Co. and be entered to win one of the first Lumi printed t-shirts.

    Here's how it works:

    1. Tell your friends about Lumi Co. http://bit.ly/LumiCo

    2. If your friend pledges and leaves a comment on our comments page saying they learned about Lumi Co. from you, you're entered to win! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lumi/lumi-co-a-new-textile-printing-technology/comments

    We'll randomly select a winner and contact you for sizing!

    Interview and exciting pictures!

    We had the pleasure of speaking with the Kickstarter team last week. Our interview was posted today to the official blog, be sure to check it out!

    We've also added new imagery to show off some of the coasters our backers will be receiving:

    Finally, here's a recent print we made on suede that would be impossible with existing technologies! The image is a famous shot by one of our favorite photographers, Richard Avedon.

    You can be quite assured that any looseness in the bowels is entirely coincidental. I would recommend examining your diet. The Lumi Process is safe, natural and has been scientifically proven harmless.
