Hello Hello Everyone,
Today is one of those days where everyone is refreshing the KS every 10 seconds. We really don't have an update about the product, but we thought we should just write something to express our enthusiasm for the campaign. Just thing about it:
- 2y we have been in the making for this backpack
- 2 months of continuous pushing on the campaign
- $400k almost hitting that mark
- Over 20 people were involved in the whole project.
- 24h left to finally start making these babies.
As of now part of the team is in Prague exhibiting for Cannafest, one of the biggest Hemp shows in Europe, and the rest of the team is in the warehouse preparing for the last hours of the campaign. We are also making some videos for Black Friday and Instagram content.

Alo Alo Everyone,
Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
You probably wondered at some point during the last months how the design process works.
This is actually the original main design we did back in the day. Many things changed since then.
The design is obviously very important, but the execution is even more important because it is very hard to transform images into real products as the density of materials, and the strength of hemp is not always easy to work with. Also, many details that look good on paper do not look good on hemp. There were 4 iterations after this backpack design was created until we reached the final sample 2 weeks ago.
The campaign is almost over. Make sure to get a bag for the entire family for a pre-sale price. 5 days left to finish the Kickstarter.
Best regards,
Bernardo

Alo Alo Everyone,
1 week left to the end of our campaign.
Excitement is building up for the last stretch of this amazing campaign. In the meantime we already started manufacturing the hemp and we are going to start buying materials after the campaign.
It was 5 years ago that we celebrated our first production in Portugal, this was a very proud moment for the entire team and we went to the factory to host a quick breakfast party on the first day of production. (picture below).
Starting a startup is creating an army of people that fall in love for what you do. Our employees brought us here and they love what we do more than anyone. Today we are one step closer to making hemp a great fiber as it once was.
Get your last pledges now, prices are going up after the campaign.
Best regards,
Bernardo
