over 5 years ago – Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 03:25:09 PM

Hi guys,

We hope you love your Vortex bags as much as we do. We are now taking out design skills and turning them to textile while staying in travel gear. We have reinvented the travel pillow.

So today we just launched the CandyCane™ Travel pillow, hurray :)  

As a supporter of Nisnas Industries, if you are seeing this now you can grab it for 50% off  

So after months of planning, designing, experimenting, testing, filming and editing, the Candy Cane travel pillow is finally here and we couldn't be prouder. Drum roll....  

As supporters of Nisnas Industries you get to grab the pillow for almost 50% off if you grab it today:  

Candy Cane came out just amazing, check out some of it's main modes and features, it really is a game changer:  

  • Folds up smaller than a lemon  
  • Instantly inflates  
  • Endlessly modular  
  • Is super strong with 360* support  
  • Perfect for sleeping on the floor or against the wall  

We're so proud of how this came out and even prouder to be able to offer Candy Cane to you for a special one day price. We reserve this just for our backers and close friends so go for it before the prices go up to retail on Friday. 

It looks like a standard travel pillow only its completely and endlessly modular, instantly inflates and stashes away super small for ease of carry. We're really excited about this new direction for us at NI and we know you will love the new Candy Cane travel pillow :) 

Cheers from team NI, 

As always we are here for any question, comment of concern. 

 Cheers, Max, Yossi and the team

NI project to fight global hate
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 07, 2018 at 01:16:38 PM

Hi guys,  

Want to take part in an amazing project with us?

As you guys may (or may not?) know, we are a social business. We try to mix our product with social impact and make sure to have at least two projects every year that are all about doing good by our community. So this time we are taking a tiny little break from leather, wood and stainless steel and making some time for a project that's all about design and activism 

With that in mind we have created a new stencil kit that takes aim at global hate movements. We call it #Paint_unhate

 The idea behind these stencil packs is to turn symbols of hate into compassion or humor. These stencils turn swastikas into cartoon animals and takes back the global conversation from hate to positive activism. 

 We wanted to give people everywhere the tools to be able to tackle hate in their own communities with simple, easy to use stencils. 

So we just launched these today, and we think they are amazing. If you love the design and the idea we have kits available in several reward tears and even a digital file to fit all sizes. 

Check them out here. And thanks for being with us, you guys are amazing. Questions? As always we're here, 

 Max, Yossi and the NI team

Partnerships and specials offers

Hi all,

We have a special sale offer for you guys here below. 

But first of all we wanted to thank you all for you kind words about the Vortex bag :), we are beyond thrilled to hear how much you love it.

In the near future we will have a new bag prepped for another Kickstarter and we would love all your input into what you want from a new Nisnas design. As always, you guys are part of our design team so we will make it into a group conversation as always, stay tuned for that.

In the meantime we have teamed up with the lovely people at Sweatcoin, (a cool fitness app) for a one-week only sale on our gear and we wanted to let you guys in on the same offer that we have for our friends at Sweatcoin.

We think of our Kickstarter supporters as more than backers but as a community and we want you to be the first to be notified if sale events like this take place on our site. We almost never do discounts like this 50% off event, it's beyond rare, in fact we've never done one before, so the least we could do is offer you guys the offer before everyone else and before it ends at the end of the week.

Feel free to us this sale to grab anything you want from the shop till the end of the sale on Friday July 27th

Jump on in here using discount code: sc50off

As always we are here to help with any question comment or concern,

Warmest wishes from us at Nisnas HQ,

Max and Yossi

Shipping hurray :)
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 06:56:58 PM

Hello one an all,

The day has arrived and we have begun to ship. Hurray!

Below you will find a video that will walk you through all of the shipping details as well as a cool unboxing session:

You will receive emails with tracking codes from us very soon with more information on shipping so stay tuned for that.

A few things to keep in mind:

1) Shipping all the bags and backer-kit items will take aprox. 3 weeks as they are being send in batches

2) We are using DHL E-Commerce which means that the package will get directly to your door.

3) Important note for US backers: The bag will be handled by DHL ground and will be left with you or at your door without any need for a signature. Make sure you have a good safe place for the delivery man to leave the bag if you are not home. For folks outside of the US, there is a need for your signature upon receipt and if you are not home your package will wait for you at your closest local post. 

4) Customs will take as long as they take, we cannot under-declare the value of the bag so in some rare cases in countries like Germany and Australia, the bag may take a while and cost an extra charge. This is rare but you should be ready for this if the bag is held up. Use your tracking codes to see the bag's progress.

5) You will receive tracking codes in the next few weeks. Once you do, your bag will be live and on it's way. 

6) Questions?

We're here for you

Hurray for a great campaign, and thanks for being part of this experience :)

Max, Yossi and the Nisnas team
