Wow – time flies!! We have 3 days left of our campaign and we're still pushing higher! $40k is a bit of a stretch, but it’s still in sight and I’m doing everything I can to get us as there! Please continue to share the campaign with friends, family, co-workers, and laundry pioneers near and far. Here's a short-link you can pass along: http://kck.st/28PIJI6
It’s pretty crazy to think that CMB was just a weird idea I had a few years ago. We’ve gone from a simple, hand stitched bag (sewn by yours truly) to a premium product that hundreds of people are excited to purchase and use. I am incredibly humbled and grateful to have each of you along for this journey! So, thank you!
Below are a few pictures to show you where we've come from. I'm excited that you'll be seeing first-hand where we go next!

A Few Projects That Caught My Eye
Over the past month, I've spent a lot of time on Kickstarter. Below are a few projects that caught my eye and I wanted to share!
I came across this project and it was too coincidental to ignore. Flyte socks is a Toronto based start up that's making bright, bold, radical bamboo socks. That's awesome, but even more so, they come 3 to a pair to make sure you never have a missing sock again. Genius!
Everyone can appreciate the stresses associated with a given work day. That's why, when I came across SPECTER, an SF design startup, I had to share their latest. The Oligospheres are a beautifully machined set of spheres that exist to help you fend off stress, distraction and procrastination. Sounds like a recipe for a more productive work day. Have a look below!

A Few Common Questions
over 9 years ago
– Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 03:53:29 PM
Hey All-
A few common questions have come in so I wanted to provide a bit more detail (and a few pictures) to help.
Common Question #1) Are the bags waterproof?
Both fabrics on the ChipmunkBag (1000d and 420d) are water resistant. Water will bead up on the bag and keep the interior dry for a while. The bag will be fine if you're going a few blocks in the rain and need to keep your laundry dry.
Common Question #2) Do the bags stand up on their own?
The bags stand on their own when about half full. We've considered adding more structure to the bag, but decided against it. Part of the CMB's benefit is it can squeeze into small areas like an overhead compartment on an airplane. This would be harder with a wireframe structure built into the bag.
That being said, the bag still functions as a hamper. I have a small adhesive hook in my closet at the same height as the bag's hanging handle. All I do is loop the handle over the small hook which keeps the bag upright until it's full enough to do so itself. On laundry day, just grab the CMB and go. No need to transfer clothes from hamper to laundry bag.
I updated the FAQ section on the page with these questions. As always, feel free to shoot me a message if you have any others - happy to help!
Cheers,
Cooper
