Email Correspondence


Emily:

Thank you again for inviting us to your release last night.

As promised, we have a few ideas we are exploring and I wanted to run those by you briefly as we continue to develop the products, specifically: a larger rear rack mounting rolling bag; shoe strap and shoe cover; under-mount seat pack with map and repair tools as well as a compact hand pump. We had a concern regarding the compact hand pump and wanted to ask you if it was in the realm of Po Campo's manufacturing capabilities or not.

Gabe and I also wanted to ask if we could get the information on your manufacturer so that we could possibly set up a tour and see exactly what goes into producing one of your bags, and would it be possible to get the color and pattern swatches from you?

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Greg Clark

Hey Greg,

Thanks for coming by, it was nice meeting your team.

Here are my thoughts;
-We currently do not have the capabilities to manufacture hard goods
(custom plastics/metals). We are open to custom ideas as a blue sky
concepts or I would suggest you look for stock parts or local
manufacturers to produce something custom.

-As far as a tour, I can't guarantee I can arrange something, but I will
see what I can do. The facility has the capabilities to do industrial
sewing, fabric die cutting (including leather).
-For pattern swatches; part of our plan is to constantly change fabrics so
that each production is a limited edition. We currently use outdoor
upholstery fabrics, but are open to anything that is water resistant and
fashionable.

Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Emily
