Cough Cough Launch!

Well, it has happened..the big day has come and gone and I for one feel a bit disappointed about the whole thing..Poxy Murphys Law..

Some of you might have heard (or at least I hope you did) that we were launching our 2nd collection of graphic t-shirts yesterday.. Sadly, I was mad sick as we were launching and not able to tweet with the fervour I'd like to tweet with. In fact, by my standards, I did hardly any tweeting/facebooking etc and so for me, I feel like the launch was a flop...

Thankfully a few others took up the mantle and did some tweeting etc to help get the word out and I'm most grateful but I can't helping feeling a little bit cheated by the cold which ruled me out of action yesterday. Now, I have to wait until our next launch to see if I can redeem myself..

Although, the path to redemption will start here I hope..I hope that if you read this you'll take a moment to check out our 2nd collection and possibly press the big green retweet button up the top...If you are a facebook fanatic I'd appreciate if you could press the like button to help spread the word..Heck, if you want to buy some of our new designs you're more than welcome to do so, step into our shop :)


I personally think Elena has come up with some sweet designs for the 2nd collection and am gutted that I couldn't promote them accordingly..Anyway, lets see how things unfold..the fingers are crossed that the word will still get out to the masses..As my cold recedes I'll step up the promo effort and your help is big time appreciated...

P.S. Sharing is caring! Our IT boffins have have got a new Facebook "like" button and Twitter ReTweet button on the top of all our blog posts..Give them a click and make us smile!

LadyUmbrella and the Umbrella Tree [New Design]

I like get things completed and my documenting of our new designs on this old blog of ours has been delayed due to us being pretty busy at LUHQ..We've had an incredible week or so really..At times it is just mind boggling what is happening with lots of people getting in touch to interview us (really, here is one and another and yet another - do feel free to peruse them) and we couldn't be more appreciative...Really, I've said it before and shall continue to say it with genuine meaning - thank you!! Myself and Elena have put all of our eggs in one basket (hehe, we've no business smarts) and are just trying to live our dream (oh, the cheesiest of cliches)..We also had to make a short trip to Spain but more on that later...

Anyway, enough of the guff, on with the design. Our 3rd and final ladies t-shirt in our La Segunda Coleccion is called "LadyUmbrella and the Umbrella Tree" and unsurprisingly has it's own little story (it's just how we roll)...

Sometimes when on strolls around forests LadyUmbrella happens upon unusual umbrella trees which are ripe for the picking..She thought her feathered friends would provide some help when gathering the goods alas they are sleeping on the job..

We can't wait to get to have this t-shirt on sale and hope to have it available very soon. Like its bedfellow, LadyUmbrella and the Merry Go Round, this t-shirt has a distinctive shape with a nice wide neck and longer fitted sleeves than before..For the t-shirt aficionados out there the t-shirts are 140grms, 100% pure combed cotton with a mind blowingly soft and comfortable pigment print..All t-shirts in our new collection also have an additional woven tag on the front of the tee, we hope you'll dig it as much as we do...

And so, that completes the line up of t-shirts for our new collection..We've put a lot of time and effort into trying to come up with some more strong designs and getting them created to the highest of standards...With some luck you will like them..Feel free to press the facebook like button and/or the twitter RT - each one helps us out immensely..

Finally, earlier in the post I mentioned a brief trip to Spain. Myself and Elena had the pleasure of getting all spruced up for a friends wedding in an absolutely lovely spot in Alcala which is just outside of Madrid...Gone were the LadyUmbrella t-shirts and buttons replaced by dresses, suits and glasses of coldest beer one could ask for in the hottest of places...A great night was had and I experienced the customs of Spanish wedding - vivan los novios...
