Last Thursday, knomo were proud to be involved in the PASSPORT TO STYLE event with womenswear brand Eileen Fisher.  The evening was hosted by journalist & travel connoisseur Kate McAuley who shared her packing tips – with her Marseille trolley!

Anyone on Twitter and Instagram could keep up with the action using #EFTravelStyle – there was plenty of bubbly & sushi to enjoy! We offered a Verona trolley as a prize in the raffle…

And the lucky winner – who coincidentally was dressed in the same Terracotta colour as her new travel toy – was ecstatic!

Here at Knomo, we are so excited to announce that we will be joining Eileen Fisher, along with journalist and blogger of  im not a celebrity Kate McAuley for an exclusive travel shopping event this Thursday 16^th May.

We would love for you to join us for drinks, canapés and exclusive travel advice in Covent Garden. On top of this, every guest will be given £25 off any purchase at the event and could be in with the chance to win a Knomo Terracotta Verona Trolley Bag. The Verona is the perfect bag for travelling or to carry all your essentials! It holds up to a 15” laptop within a quilted laptop pouch with shockproof protection. It also boasts smooth-running wheels and a telescopic handle to aid easy travelling.  A £75 Eileen Fisher card is also up for grabs, as are REN skincare products.

RSVP is essential – we really hope to see you there!

Keep up with us on the night @knomo #EFTravelStyle

We are passionate about making great bags that not only protect your technology essentials, but also carry you through your day in style!

STYLE THAT WORKS.

The digital era has made us all multi-taskers – we’re dealing with urgent emails from our phone as we wait for a table/get our hair cut/queue up at the supermarket.  We review presentation documents or catch up with our favourite television programmes on our iPad during the morning commute.  Our technology and our bag is by our side from the moment we leave the house & grab our morning coffee, to when we get the bill at the restaurant and head home…

Knomo bags, on the move, in and around London…

knomo was born in London, and with our London HQ in the heart of the Capital we’re excited to be in the midst of England’s versatile culture and rich history.

The country will be celebrating the patron Saint of England on this national day – with classic favourites including street parties and pub drink-ups!

On Tuesday 23rd April, join us in our Pop-up Shop for a day of St. George fun; with every purchase, enjoy a free “cuppa” traditional tea courtesy of Cosy Café, and take a plunge in our Lucky Dip for a free knomo gift!

knomo Pop-up Shop opening hours: 10am – 6pm

knomo’s in-house design team have been busy behind the scenes developing our ALL NEW Men’s collection of laptop-bags, messengers & sleeves – and now we’re proud to  introduce Balham.

Boasting six styles; designed from heavy-duty cotton twill trimmed with raw-edge leather & tarnished metallic hardware. The new saddle leather bridge closures work to eliminate Velcro or snap locks. The designs are modest and simple, and have been tested to function perfectly.

Known for blending style and function, each knomo design has been perfected to hold your day-to-day belongings within dedicated compartments; tons of internal and external zip pockets offer added security for your belongings, and the dedicated laptop section incorporates shock-proof protection for your technology.

Pictured here we have PADSTOW; A slim line briefcase with detachable strap, which can be carried by the grab handle or across the body.  Catering for a 13” laptop, and can also hold an A4 pad and other essentials – perfect for meetings!

Then there’s FARNHAM; The relaxed yet smart work bag, complete with removable 15” laptop sleeve.  ARGAL is Balham’s Slim laptop-sleeve; perfect for those carrying a laptop and not much else – with an additional slim back pocket for cables/papers, and a detachable strap.  Available in both 13” and 15” sizes.

Other styles include TROON, NEWQUAY and RALEIGH.

We’re excited to introduce our Metropolis collection; comprising of five all-new designs, launched as part of our SS13 season.

Made from luxurious soft butter leather and with 14 carat Gold plated hardware, this luxury collection offers a fashion-forward option for the modern, technology toting woman.

Designed with the seasonal futuristic trend in mind, these out-of-this-world designs make a statement with their pointed sides and sharp angles, perfectly contrasting with the metallic silver lining.  So grab your space visor and hit the city in style…

The roomy Galactic handbag – catering for an iPad or laptop up to 14” – was featured in You Magazine, the Fashion supplement for the Daily Mail.

Many would know Ortis Deley from his days presenting children’s TV shows Live & Kicking and CBBC, others would know him better as Radio DJ of Choice FM and BBC Radio 5 Live.  We know him best as fellow technology lover, and presenter of The Gadget Show!

Ortis carries a knomo himself, for toting his gadgets and other daily essentials.  As a knomo fan, he was kind enough to come along to our Pop-up Shop Launch Party to officially cut the ribbon and open our store – and he bagged the special lady in his life a knomo Florence weekender too!

As part of this week’s FAME FRIDAY you can take 20% OFF any Florence, either for yourself or a loved one, when bought in our Pop-up Shop on Friday 5^th April.  Available in a variety of colours, including brand new Spring Terracotta.

Visit our Pop-up shop this Thursday for some Easter fun!

For one day only, we’ll be hiding dozens of chocolate Easter eggs around our store.  Everyone that enters the shop during our opening hours of 10am – 6pm on Thursday will have 60 seconds on the clock to find as many eggs as they can, to take home and enjoy.

No purchase necessary – just pop in and enjoy the hunt!  What a great way to kick off the bank holiday weekend

THURSDAY 27TH MARCH 2013 #EGGDASH

Our three founders originally came from South Africa. Living and working in London they left their day jobs to start knomo, and it has been built up to the brand you see today.

We have embarked on an exciting project, very close to the knomo team.  Having partnered with Core (our South African distributor) and iSchool Africa, in the sponsorship of iPads for underprivileged schools in South Africa; helping the children engage in their education and improve the quality of their learning.

The first school to be supported by the scheme was Veluka school, in Randburg.  Now the scheme has branched further to the second school; Vukanibantu in Port Elizabeth – the home town of one of our founders!

The highly enthusiastic and dedicated teaching staff here are very much looking forward to using this new technology in growing and developing the children in the school.

We can’t wait to receive more updates from both schools – and will be sharing the journey along with you!

Any of our Facebook friends or Twitter followers may have already seen that Knomo HQ had fun raising money for Red Nose Day on Friday – we hope you did too! As well as donating 10% from every knomo sale on the day to Comic Relief, we also did “something funny for money”!

Our Social Media and Pop-up Shop teams plotted fun pranks to play on the rest of the office – all in the name of charity, of course! In the mix were fake cash prize scratch cards, fake biscuits, electric shock pens & whoopee cushions! We did our best to snap the action…

We also spent the day at work in the comfort of our PJ’s – for a donation! This was particularly amusing during important Management meetings…

There was also a bidding war to get our Finance Director to head out of the office to her coffee meeting – in her Onesie!

This is such a great cause, and we were proud to do our bit. We would love to hear from you about what you did to raise for Comic Relief. Share your Red Nose Day fun with us by tweeting us @Knomo
