Totebags and Notebooks - Gone for Good!

It's been a feckin' age and a half since I've posted a blog post and I will explain the silence at some stage but for now I've just gotta mention that our totebags and notebooks are now sold out.. It's a bittersweet moment - nice that we've sold out of them but then, on the other hand, kinda sad to see them go.. I guess it means we can now come up with more nifty bags and notebooks (we will, we are) but maybe I'm just a sentimental goof who misses these inanimate objects.. Also, giving you fair warning now that a lot of our t-shirts are running low too..We've been nice and busy here thanks to a huge GrabOne sale we did and literally have hundreds of t-shirts to pack and ship in the coming days.. We're ready! Anyway, bye bye totebags and notebooks.. Do you have one of our totebags/notebooks? If so, I sincerely hope that in about 30 years time they are worth a nice chunk of change - how cool would that be?

LadyUmbrella Lands in Kwilla!

Delighted to say some LadyUmbrella gear is now stocked and available in Kwilla in Kilkenny.. It's been a while since we've been stocked in a shop so it's kinda cool to be "back in the game"..

On Wednesday I bused it down to Kilkenny (bused it as I'm not one of those driving folk, have never really driven in my life, it would be handy though) to deliver the stock to Shannon, the owner of Kwilla. Upon arrival to Kwilla I was blown away with how dainty, quirky, charming and cool Kwilla was - not to mention it was laiden with lots of great items..A real shop that you could spend hours rummaging around and coming across lots of great things from Irish designers..Happy to say that we may now be rummaged upon and found..

What was interesting about the LadyU delivery to Kwilla is that it didn't include any t-shirts..T-shirts, to a degree, have been our "bread and butter" but this delivery hammered home to me how far we've gone in less than two years.. Instead of delivering t-shirts I delivered totebags, notebooks, badges and illustrations to Kilkenny - I did so wearing a t-shirt though ;)

Anyway, Kilkenny is a really lovely city..I was there before for a Twitter talk and highly recommend that if you've never been there head on down for a trip..And, if you do, sure you might as well call into Kwilla ;)

It's Not A Comic Book! [The Complete Story]

Some of you might have seen part one of our "comic" but all good comic books need a conclusion..So, here you have it, part one and two united for the first time to herald the arrival of our new...drumroll, notebooks!!





We're really happy with how our notebooks have turned out and hope you like them too :) You can get them now from our online shop and needless to say they'll make ideal Christmas presents (but what else would we say?)..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 :)
