The tote arrived today, I must say I didn't know what to expect. It is more like a piece of luggage than a grocery tote. Canvas, leather and copper rivets make it a very nice item. I would suggest the American flag tag be sewn on the outside. I'm very pleased.
I have a daughter in law that would get lots of use out of it. Again, best of luck.

Hey Nick,
That package should have already been sent. Let me check into the shipping and we may have to send you a new package. Can you email me directly at info@luminaclothing.com?
Thanks
Creator Nick DiCeglie on January 7
Still waiting for my package to arrive in NYC. Hopefully it will arrive soon

Got the shirt and T shirt today, excellent quality, very happy. Best wishes on your future success.

Just to keep you and everyone updated:
The seams on the pocket square was SO BAD and SO UNEVEN, I had to take it to a local mall and have a professional tailor take all the seams apart and re-do the entire pocket square. Costs me another 20 dollars.
I mean, What The Hell happened to the original seams? Did you outsource the manufacturing of pocket squares to China and then have the finished product shipped back to you, and then you shipped them to me?
The quality of the work on the pocket square was so inferior, it looked like an amateur did it. It absolutely looked like a rushed job, like an amateur hastily did it at 3 AM in the morning and rushed it out the door. I thought this stuff was supposed to be Made in America. Well, if it was indeed made in America and this was the quality of work I received, then you guys don't deserve to be in business. You guys deserve to close shop and go home.
This is why America can't compete with rest of the world. HIGH cost of production, LOW-Quality of products delivered. I thought this Kickstarter project was supposed to change that. To boost the economy, to brings manufacturing jobs back to America, to make America proud again. Well, this Kickstarter project looks like another over-promised, over-priced, but low-quality-product-delivered project. The products delivered was WORST than the stuff you can buy at Walmart, and yet the prices are 2-3 times higher.
There is clearly a lack of communication between the founder of this Kickstarter project and its backers, which can be seen in the lack of updates and lack of replies from the founder. Let's say the original pocket was worth 20 dollars, now I have to spend ANOTHER 20 dollars to get the seams fixed. 40 dollars for a pocket square. Is it worth it? Absolutely not. And also the Tote Bag I received. There was no logo on the front. There was no logo on the back. It is just a plain tote bag. Is a plain tote bag worth $45 dollars? I don't think so!
I am extremely disappointed. I feel cheated and lied to by this Kickstarter project. I feel like honest people with good intentions got robbed by a Kickstarter scam.
For future references and future readers, this type of projects should not be backed, unless the founder has a solid reputation and is thoroughly checked-out. There are a lot of scams on Kickstarter, which people over-promise and fail to deliver.

My package arrived today. And let me tell you, the stuff arrived in the package are some of the WORST-quality apparel I have ever seen!
- the stitching on the pocket square is terrible!!! It looks like someone rushed the job in two minutes. The edges are not straight. The seams are all over the place. It looks like it's done by an amateur, a rushed job. Not done by someone professionally. It looks like a very poor-quality, poorly-executed, 1-dollar-pocket-square you can get at Walmart. I paid $65 dollars for this???
- the tote bag. There is no Lumina logo on the front NOR back of the tote bag. It's just a plain bag. There is supposed to be a Lumina logo on it, like it is shown in the pic. But there are none. The leather work on the handle of the tote bag are uneven. You can see a lot of rough edges. Poor craftsmanship, no logo.
- I paid the $65-dollar package. I thought I was supposed to get a "very special thank you note and a few Lumina stickers", because that was included in the $25-dollar package. Yet I *did not* get any note NOR stickers in my package. What a lie!
To summarize everything, this is a very poorly executed fashion project and the products delivered are just terrible. I feel lied to and cheated out of a bunch of hard-earned money.

Thanks,

Do we need to pay extra for shipping internationally (e.g. Canada) ?
