WISSHH Travel Bag on Kickstarter

Oh, hey, Kickstarter,
my name is Merih
and this is my multi-purpose bag,
the "Wisshh Travel Bag".
The idea behind the "Wisshh Travel Bag"
is very simple.
It's extra space, when needed, for everyone.
Three years ago I was in Miami
and instead of sipping margaritas on the beach
I was running around having to buy
just another carry-on bag
for another airline standard.
So, out of frustration I decided to design
my own.
And like many other things
it ended up in a wish list.
Six months later I was boarding a flight to Egypt
and I was observing this older lady
in front of me carring her clothes
in a paper-bag.
Well, the more she was walking
the faster the bag was breaking.
Than suddenly all of her clothes
were on the floor.
Well, as I was helping her gather her things,
I asked her, how come
she was using a paper-bag?
The answer she gave me was not what I expected:
she told me she could not afford
a carry-on-bag.
So in that very moment, I decided that
my sketch drawing turned into a product
and I started searching for suppliers.
As I received the first batch of a thousand "Wisshh Bags",
I handed those out to friends and family to test.
As I received the second batch
of 2 thousand bags
well, something really interesting happened.
People were posting their pictures
with the "Wisshh Bag",
they were chatting with each other,
so I decided to open a blog for people
to share their travel experiences.
We now have a community of travellers
who share places they love,
in order for us to discover.
And the one thing they ask me everyday is:
can I have the "Wisshh Bag" in
a different color please?
So, the reason I am here today,
is to ask for your kind help.
I would like to bring the "Wisshh Travel Bag"
in a store or in an airport near you.
In different color and sizes.
With your help we can offer
an economical alternative to the more expensive carry-on bags.
And we will try to connect travellers
more and better.
At this point I would like to thank you
for your attention,
and I would like to leave you
with a recomandation and a reminder:
life is short, travel more.
Ciao!
