Alo Alo,
We don't have Toretto or fast cars or explosions, but we have the highest quality hemp and the most talented people working to make our backpacks.
Meet our talented team below:
Production has already started and it is going well. The wallets are already finished and the pouches and the laptop hemp cases are coming next.
The expected finishing time for the production is early December and from then we will start worldwide shipping.
Best regards,

Alo Alo Everyone,
We have great news. We have just finished the production of all our hemp fabric, and we are now starting the dyeing process, adding the coating as well as the waterproof membrane. By the end of the month of October we expect to start manufacturing the backpacks, and by late November to early December, we plan to start shipping them.
But there's more... During the Kickstarter campaign until now we have been testing a new dye and a new fabric iteration. After a few trials, and a lot of testing, we have now got the results from SGS, the golden standard for textile certification internationally.
In terms of strength, we have managed to totally surpass what is the lab standards by at least 5x, which is a great milestone for our company, See the test results below:
Fastness is the fabric's ability to hold its color for a long time without fading. These are by far the most challenging tests for sustainable companies, because people expect the same results as synthetic toxic dyes. So it is a big challenge to make good colors that last a long time. In a scale from 0 to 5 our results were incredible and we passed all tests, which means that our hemp is already better than 90% of other fibers out there. In other words, our backpacks will retain their colors for a very long time. But still, we will not rest until we hit level 5 on all categories.
Once again, this is a big milestone for our company, and that would have not been possible without your support. Today we are one big step closer to make hemp great again.
Best regards,
Bernardo
