Before I get started, I would like to thank you, yes you, for taking the time to come to this Indiegogo project to find out what we’re about. I do have to note that we don’t have skimpily clad models or cool technological displays, because we sell bags for education. What did you expect?


Who Are We?

I’m Eugene Kim, a recent graduate and the founder of Rendo, a Utah-based LLC focused on evolving the relationship between business and education through the sale of bags.

I, and probably you, have noticed that the US education system could use a helping hand. Whether it’s to provide students with the proper materials for class, or to better integrate schools with advancing technology, there is always something that could be improved upon.

If you were to buy a bag from Rendo, we would take 15% of your purchase and donate it directly back into your community. Using DonorsChoose.org, we will find school projects in your area that need help, and provide them with the support they need. Now, unlike some businesses that say they’ve donated to a cause, we’ll provide you a link to that specific project so you know exactly what your purchase has done to improve your local education system.

In short, if you buy a Rendo bag, you’ll not only look classy as all get out, you’ll be committing to the education of your community’s future leaders and innovators. Oh, and you’ll help us at Rendo make a living. That’s important too.


About the Bags:

We are currently producing two types of bags:

The H Series: 

A high quality leather bag made to make giving to local education look good. 

&

The M Series: 

A durable fabric bag that was made to be taken wherever you need to go. Whether you're venturing the Himalayas or running with the bulls, you can be sure this bag will make it through any trial.


Size & Customize:

Both bags come in a large and a small. The small is perfect for every day life (fitting a 15" laptop) and the large is for those long weekend trips. If you need a bag that's even larger than that, contact us directly, and we'll see what we can do!

You can customize the following parts of your bag:

Buckles: 

Plastic or All Metal ($5 more)

Seam, Interior & Exterior Colors (choose from the color palette below):

**The leather bags exterior color can only be black or dark brown (subject to change)**


We'll send you a follow up email after you commit and you can choose your custom options then. Throw together whatever combination you please and we'll get it done for you!


Expected ship date: August 2014


The Financial Breakdown:

Now that you know what we’re about, let’s talk money.

Our goal is to reach $15,000, which allows us to reach our minimum order quantity, pay rent and make good on our commitment to donate to local communities.

We have most of our perks lined out over to the side, but check out our best perk here:

$500 – Now if you think you can just buy our love….you’d be right. Committing this much will give you the chance to get 5 Rendo bags of your choice, a personal video shout out, and an invitation to our kick-off event in August.


Why Buy:

Millions of students all across the United States miss out on opportunities daily because their schools lack the proper resources to enhance their education. Students that could become leaders and innovators might never reach their full potential, and we, as a whole, miss out on opportunities that could change the world.

So let’s make a difference. Instead of just buying any bag, buy a Rendo bag. Help fund the projects that could change the lives of students in your community, and commit to the future.


Lend a Helping Hand:

So you might not have the cash to commit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help. Support Rendo and your local schools by sharing our campaign to your friends and family through Facebook, Twitter, or email.

We’re all for freedom of speech, but if you would like some creative inspiration, you can use this example:

“Support your local schools in style, check out Rendo and see how you can make a difference in the lives of students with a bag. Igg.me/at/RendoBags”
