If this happened to you, you have 1 week from the end of the campaign to fix the payment and ensure you're part of our first production and you don't lose your special reward! Please double check your email for Kickstarter's payment confirmation and fix your payment if needed.
Smart Survey Results

Indiegogo In-Demand
We worked with the Indiegogo team to keep collecting pre-orders of LITO on their platform while we set up or production and logistics. But, guess what? You got the best deals on Kickstarter! If you'd like to check out LITO's Indiegogo Page.

13,880 Bottles out of the landfill | New LITO Superbacker Rewards | Kickstarter Projects We Love
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 05:53:23 PM
Let me start today's update by congratulating to all of our backers for your recycling milestone. Thanks to you we will re-use 13,880 plastic bottles to produce LITO suitcases in just our first week of Kickstarter!
How to calculate: #of carry-on and check-in pledges x (net weight of recycled shell / net weight of a 2 Liters plastic water bottle)
We cannot thank enough the Kickstarter team for empowering us to be the first suitcase brand to pursue LITO's carbon neutrality pledge and choose our campaign as part of Kickstarter's "Projects We Love".
LITO ECONOMIC IMPACT
Entrepreneurship fosters innovation and helps build new economic opportunities.
We are just a tiny brand, but as we grow, we want to give economic opportunities to our partners and community. These past 2 years have been very volatile for the travel industry and we will do all we can to partnerup with small businesses in this sector. If you know a travel agency that should work with LITO, send me an email directly at [email protected].
In less than a week we also built a network of LITO evangelists among our backers, to help our community earn from LITO's success and grow together. Apply here in 30 seconds (limited spots) to earn $1,197 with your first 10 sales. It is our vision to invest on our community rather than just spending in BigTech Marketing. Embrace our movement, today!
NEW SUPERBACKER REWARDS
You ask, we listen. We received several superbackers' messages to upgrade our offering to multiple units.
We are glad to announce that we were able to add 3 limited superbacker rewards to satisfy your needs:
Kickstarter is all about community, with founders helping each other. Here's LITO's picks on how to save additional storage space and practice mindfulness at the end of your next trip.
Thank you for helping us reshaping the world of travel.
Best,
Marco
LITO - Helping travelers save space
THANK YOU LITOers!

I almost fell from my chair!
12 months of hard work repaid in just 15 minutes. This is how long it took us to achieve our goal!
I can only repay your generosity and belief by working even harder to deliver on our promise.
Our success if yours, THANK YOU LITOers!
PRODUCTION
We set our first down payment with the factory as soon as we reached our goal. We want to start working on a perfect delivery early and while still collecting funds to have enough time to build early, deliver quality and solve the unexpected. We will keep you in the loop of production progress while the campaign grows.
LAST CARRY-ON VIP
We gave a bit more time for everybody eligible to get her or his VIP reward. We will not refill anymore so maybe you'll be lucky enough to upgrade your pledge or get another LITO carry-on at the best price in the next few minutes!
LITO EVANGELIST - APPLY NOW
We are building our affiliate program, where you will be able to earn money with LITO. This is the best way we can reward our community. We want to grow with you rather than only investing in BigTech marketing. We'll select 5 LITO Evangelists this week and will give 20% commission on each sale, way higher than most affiliate programs available. Just send me an email at [email protected] showing your motivation by September 17th.
LITO TALKFUNDING INTERVIEW
I had the pleasure to get an interview with Alan Jones 2 days before going live. He gave me a lot of energy and goes through a detailed page commentary on LITO's ins and outs.
