Today cultural creative GreenMaMa Betty Lam came to our office to show her LOHAS Calendar 樂活日誌. It is a Chinese calendar filled with green, health and lighthearted spiritual tips, often expressed in localized humorous ways. She is also including references from interesting books and URL so you will find LOHAS inspirations on daily basis. According to her, she is definitely including the phone number of an "uncle" who specializes in helping people to sharpen their kitchen knives, talking about sustainability and supporting traditional business.

2010 LOHAS Calendar

The entire calendar is supposed to be decomposable, using recycle paper, soy ink and traditional Chinese binding. You can place order to her now at HK$80 each until 30th Oct. After that, you will need to buy it from retailers at HK$100. Place order to her for over 500 pieces, for example as a corporate gift, price drops down to HK$60 each with your company logo printed.

The dummy I saw today doesn't show much, like how the paper is perforated, how does it react to tears. I also worry a lot about the minimal packaging idea coz it is a retailer's nightmare, for there will be a lot of damaged product during transportation and customer contacts. Despite the fact that I like the design a lot, we still have to see a closer to final product version to decide how will it appear in our stores.

I really like that LOHAS calendar. When I travel, I always look for local stationery items -- I buy them as souvenirs for myself and as gifts. The more local they look and feel, the better - especially if they contain local/regional colloquialisms - those are the best.

I love this calendar! Does she ship to the US?

This is stunning. I'm so happy for people who can make beautiful handmade crafts in a sustainable way. I'd love one of these.

So how can I order one here in the US?

The calendar is in Chinese, do you guys really want it?

Ugo, several customized/localized KOLO from each city will make a great exhibition :) Do you have customer in Africa?

I'm Chinese :) I do really want it. It also makes great gifts.

Chinese is beautiful to look at - yes, I really do!

hey sorry bob for not getting back to you before, after the previous message I asked them to contact you. Anyway, I'm emailing them right now. We sold out in our stores. I think they still have stock somehow. Will get back to you when I receive a reply.

Hi Bob, I'm sorry to say that they just don't care to ship any overseas. I'll see if I can stop by the one shop which may still have stock to pick up one for you. Mind you that these few days are peak of our retail stores, I will try but can't promise I could squeeze the time. Let's talk over by private message.
