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!

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!

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!

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!

Good luck!

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!

We're hard work here at Lumi and with 9 days to go every bit of help is crucial! So far we've gotten an amazing 105 backers but we still have $4200 to go before we reach our goal. You can help by telling your friends via Twitter and Facebook!

We're excited to share the first pictures of our numbered Lumi art prints available on maple veneer (pictured) and leather! Enjoy!

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!
