Kickstarter Backers! Apologies for the last minute notice, but if you're not on our regular 'ol mailing list we wanted to make sure you received an invite to our event TONIGHT! Hosted in the newly renovated Lumi Loft we're celebrating over a year of awesome Lumi fun and we're using French Bastille Day as an excuse to dress up, drink wine, eat cheese and light up some sparklers!
We've come so far since our Kickstarter campaign last year because of your support and would truly love to see you here tonight to celebrate!
Friends welcome! Please RSVP, full address and details on FB event page!
We're super psyched to relay the news that Lumi landed the cover of BrandX this week, the LA Times' weekly shot of creative culture.
100,000 copies in print, pick yours up today if you're in LA!
To think, we launched our Kickstarter campaign just about 1 year ago from today! Thanks everybody. Make sure you're keeping up on the latest Lumi news by signing up for our newsletter
This was another big week for us at Lumi Co.! We shipped wallets, coasters and bags to almost every one of our backers. The art prints are coming up and we should be able to ship those soon too!
We had lots of fun packing up all your rewards in envelopes and hope you'll enjoy them too!



Production is moving along beautifully! Our office is gradually filling up with stacks of wallets, bags and coasters. We've been spending late nights making sure your prints turn out as good as we can make them. In the process we've learned much about scaling our technology.
Over the past few days we've been busy printing and producing our leather bags, made just for you. We think they turned out brilliantly! We'll soon be ready to ship, so hang in there. Thanks for all your amazing support!
