Our Lamp Giveaway – Or Gone in 45 Minutes

We gave away all our lamps yesterday.  You may be able to see from the photos that I brought a chair.  I actually thought that I’d be sitting around all day begging people to take them- what a fool I was!  ALL those lamps went off to good homes in about 45 minutes.  They weren’t just adopted by people who wanted ‘free stuff’, these people were genuinely interested and wanted to stick around and talk and learn about how these lamps had been made, the concept behind them and why they are so special.

Not everyone agreed to take a photo but some did and here they are!  Lots of respect to these guys and girls- they woke up super early on a Sunday to get their lamps – one even admitted that they were fighting a bad hangover.  Enjoy!

Our first visitor of the day went off with the lamp with a dark blue cable. You can see my mom in the background frantically assembling more lamps

Tied for first place, this lady took home the black and white lamp

This lady and her mom came down to get the royal blue lamp - I see she's also wearing a Chet Tote - thanks!

I met Marcus several months ago at our monthly bag designer drinks - sadly, Marcus will be leaving us for New York soon but at least he has this turquoise lamp to remember us by

This lady hails from Greece and London and she came down extra early to get her boyfriend a lamp - boyfriend, if you are listening this lady deserves a really great dinner and a night out!

This lady added us on twitter later - turns out she's a really great photographer disguised as a med student, check out her stuff: http://linanna.blogspot.com/

Had a great chat with this guy and his gf about why we are so obsessed with taxis. Enjoy your dark turquoise lamp guys.

      Hi Joe,

      Glad you like the lamp so much. Have a great time and remember not to mix grain and grape.

      All the best,

      Billy
