The 3rd Collection - Sneaky Peaky!

We've finally thought it was time to lift the lid on some of our new designs that we've been working on..We revealed them last week on Facebook page and we're pretty happy with the feedback we have received - would love you to chime in..

Anyway, in total we will have four new t-shirt designs..Two of the designs you can see masterfully modelled by Elena here and then two more designs that will remain a mystery for now...Well, one of them..I'll divulge it here first that we are finally, finally, going to have a black t-shirt. Lot's of people have been asking for a black tee and so we've gotten our act together and will have one for you..The black design will be just like this dazzling white one "LadyUmbrella Meets Peter Pan" except, well, black (ooooh)..

The other design is called Famous Frames and features a posse of peculiar poultry in various states of distress, unrest, happiness, crooning and chuckling - and one LadyUmbrella...Can only ever be one LadyUmbrella - two of them would be just too bizarre..and impossible to pass them on a foot path if they were in front of you ;)

And, for the mathematical whiz kids amongst us who are going "but, what about the 4th design?" I'm afraid that that all this sneaky peaky will contain is what has been divulged above..With that said though we really really want to get your thoughts and feedback on our new designs..Do you like them, love them, loathe them? Please, let us know :) We hope to have these babies with us in the not too distant future (month or so perhaps) and will reveal the 4th one soon...wait til you see it! Ole :)

Noteworthy Notebooks?

I'll let you in on a secret, we've been sitting on some notebook designs for a while now...We've been wanting to show them before but with the launch of our tote bag happening just a few weeks back we got side tracked and didn't have a chance to unveil them..We rectified that today though and unleashed them to get your much sought after opinion...

So, here is the deal..Elena has come up with six pretty sweet notebook designs (I'm biased as all hell but I think they are rather narly) but we can only bring one of them to life for now..So, we need to know which one is your favourite..We have kicked off a poll of sorts on our facebook page and have got a lot of great feedback..Really hope you can chime in with your thoughts either on facebook or here and let us know which design is your favourite...

And now, let the eye candy begin...

Pink to make the boys wink? This design is derived from the street art we did in Pygmalion [VID]


This design is based on our most successful ladies t-shirt to date "LadyUmbrella is Away with the Birds"...hehe, hope you knew the name of the design already ;)


This is another design which takes elements of one of our t-shirt designs, "What Came First the Chicken or LadyUmbrella?" to be exact..In a recent interview Elena said this was her favourite design..


This notebook features the initial incarnation of our soon to be released t-shirt, Mona LadyUmbrella..There was an in house tug of war as to whether or not the green would be used in the t-shirt, needless to say the designer won, not me hehe..


Most of our designs are bright and colourful but this one goes against that..taking some graphics from our tote bag design Elena went and created a night scene..I like this one a lot..What about you?


The last of the 6 options this design is brand spanking new but of course has a healty dollop of birds..In all polls and votes there has to be an early leader on on our fanpage it's this one...is it yours?


And there you have it, our six designs and a little bit about them..the question is which one is your favourite? Please leave a comment here or truck on over to our facebook page and let us know what you think..Don't be shy now - thanks :)

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...

LadyUmbrella and the Merry Go Round [New Design]

It has been a while since we launched our La Primera Coleccion of ladies t-shirts (we launched them on 20th of January 2010) and since then we've been busy in the lab working on new designs (well, Elena has anyway). Today we unveiled one of our new designs from La Segunda Colecction called "LadyUmbrella and the Merry Go Round"...If you like it please press that lovely green RT button just above - it helps us out big time...

Anyway, all of our t-shirts have a bit of a story to tell and this one is no different...It reads:

The yellow birds look on with dismay as LadyUmbrella hogs the pelican, indulging her childhood love of the merry go round...Garrett, the adventurer, looks on from above and ponders his descent to the waiting masses...

We're really delighted with how the shape of this t-shirt worked out..like our other t-shirts it is 100% pure combed cotton which makes it really soft to wear. If you have purchased one of our t-shirts from our first offering they were 180grms in weight but the new collection are 140grms - so slightly lighter to make them ideal for the summer...

So, I hope what you're saying to yourself know is "I just checked the site but I don't see this design..I want it - where is it?" and I'm happy to inform you that we hope to have our La Segunda Coleccion available on our site before the end of July - not too long to go..please, bear with us :)

There are more pictures of LadyUmbrella and the Merry Go Round on facebook so do check them out..We'll also be uploading more pictures of the rest of our designs in the coming days so do check back..Stay happy all - ole!
