London, UK — USB Garage is a London based initiative currently seeking funding in! Kickstarter. Our aim is to produce quality merchandise themed around cars and car culture.
We are currently looking, via Kickstarter pre-orders, for the engagement and support of the Classic Car community to make it happen. With the funds we get we will pay for the manufacturing tooling and production of the first batch. As a secondary goal, we would also pay for new licensing deals with other car manufacturers!
This is the second time we try to raise funds through Kickstarter, and for this re-launch we have included a new car model (VW Bus Bay Window) and improved our products (new collectible letterpresses notebooks).
VW Bus Junkies, the largest VW Bus Community in Facebook is supporting us, and thanks to their effort we raised almost 50% of the funds during the first week of the campaign!
VW Wolfsburg has already supported the initiative by granting an official product approval and a product license, both based on exceptional terms. In our case, Kickstarter has provided us with the tools to negotiate with some of the largest companies in the World. Getting a licensing deal with some of these companies without the “Kickstarter factor” would have been so much more difficult, if not impossible.
At USB Garage we believe the time is ripe for a “design centric” brand that can bring a fresh! approach into this market. We want to create a collection of modern quality products, designed around car culture and beyond notebooks and pen drives. Products that are simple, functional and appeal to a younger audience!
We ask the entire Classic Car Community to support our project and make it happen. If we! haven’t yet produced designs around your favourite car, sooner rather than later we will!
