🌈 Minor Update on Color Options (About our Previous Update)
over 6 years ago
– Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 10:49:06 AM
Hi everyone!
In our last update, we asked you to tell us about what color option you would prefer if we were to add the opportunity to choose. And we've got quite a lot of feedback, for which we're thankful!
I've noticed that many backers would like to have a fully transparent version, and some suggest making just one side of the Magellan vacuum bag transparent. And there's something I'd like to show you today!
As you can see in the picture below, the Magellan vacuum bags are already transparent on one side, so you can actually see its contents.
You can already see this on the Campaign page, but I just wanted to show you this in case some people didn't notice.
So you'll be able to see the contents easily as it is! :)
Thank you all! We just raised over $50,000, with 13 days left - and it is thanks to all of you! Please spread the word about Magellan, and we'll be looking forward to fulfilling the project! :)
Thanks, and please consider these other great Kickstarter campaigns! We love what they're doing, and believe they deserve your attention!
The perfect fusion of your favorite oversized sweatshirt, your go-to blanket, and that pillow you never want to give up!
The Huglee is a new-and-improved combination of a sweatshirt, blanket and pillow, with more features than both combined! Greater than the sum of its parts, the Huglee is warmer and cozier than a throw blanket, while being more convenient and comfortable than a sweatshirt.
The Huglee is delightfully lengthy and tall enough to cover anyone’s legs. You’ll easily find yourself getting lost in the immense warmth of your Huglee, from your head all the way down to the very tips of your toes!
With proper length and perfectly adjustable dimensions, lots of high capacity pockets, and even a built-in inflatable pillow, the Huglee is the ultimate sweatshirt for outdoor parties and getting cozy at home!

🌈 Magellan Color Options Survey!

Hi everyone!
Thank you, everyone, for supporting our project, the Magellan vacuum bags! The amount of feedback we've received is invaluable.
With 18 days left for our campaign, we are getting closer to mass production. But there is still time to assess our plans and see what our options could be. And today I'd like to address a certain request that we've been hearing from several of our backers.
And that request is additional color options and a transparent version! I can see why backers would want them, especially the transparent variant.
On the other hand, our top priority must be to fulfill our promises promptly, and widening the scope of the project might result in a delay.
So in order to understand what exactly we can do here, we need to plan in advance, and we need your help here.
We need to gauge interest in additional colors - understand how large the demand is, and if it's substantial - then which options are the most desired.
So please help us out by leaving a comment on what color you'd prefer, and why. Maybe it matches your luggage case's color? Or it's just your favorite, or you prefer the fully transparent look for convenience?
Here are the options:
Our current, default scheme - the world map design with various background colors depending on the size of the bag (Yellow/Green/Blue/Cyan)
Solid Black
Solid White
Fully Transparent
Other (Please write which exact color in the Comments)
To comment, simply head to the Comments section right here and let us know what you think:
We can't promise that we'll include these additional color options, but your feedback might help make them a reality. So please participate and let us know in the comments.
Thanks again, everyone! We would appreciate it if you could spread the word about Magellan, and consider supporting these great Kickstarter projects as well!

Update on the Project
over 6 years ago
– Mon, Oct 21, 2019 at 08:47:52 AM
Greetings, everyone!
We would like to use this Update as an opportunity to address our raffle announced in the last update.
As a reminder, we have promised to double the amount of items our 1,000th backer would pledge for. We’ve decided to provide this risk-free opportunity to all of our backers to express our genuine gratitude and appreciation for supporting our idea and the project.
From what we’ve seen, not every project gains 1,000 backers or more, and to be frank, we did not expect to be among those that did. That is why we were really excited and wanted to offer something special to the community.
Unfortunately, despite basing this sincerely on good intentions and our gratitude, we have heard negative feedback from some backers who felt it wasn’t a fair offer towards every other backer who wouldn’t be the 1,000th, especially everyone who didn’t see or anticipate our announcement.
Upon reviewing the situation, we can say that we agree with those complaints, and would like to apologize to everyone who felt this way.
Furthermore, we spoke with the Kickstarter team about this, and they have requested that we refrain from any similar offers on their platform.
We value every single backer, and we respect the wishes and terms of the platform.
Hence we would like to assure everyone that no further raffles or giveaways will be offered during this Kickstarter campaign.
Thank you everyone for your quick and detailed feedback - especially those backers who took their time and patience to explain to us their feelings and opinion on the matter.
And thank you for pledging for Magellan! We will have more news and details on the project, and we’re looking forward to manufacture and delivery, so we can hear what you all think of the bags!
