Get On The Bus!


It has been a month since we have closed our doors on 5th Avenue and we have been busy on the hunt for the perfect bus, making recycled umbrella clothing, jewelry and accessories, and new art for our Mobile Pop-Up Shop cross-country revolution!

We are traveling almost 10,000 miles, converting the bus to SVO to reduce environmental impact and cost, and hosting an umbrella recycling drive in each city! The project is big and funding is small, so we are reaching out for support...this is a fund raiser!

A $25 donation gets your name on the bus! That's a sushi dinner! Hard to sacrifice, but a worthy cause! We have made cute stickers that will bear your name/city (see right) and be plastered on the ceiling of the bus for all to marvel at. You will also receive a sticker to put on your car, bike, fridge, work corkboard...to remind you of us (send us good vibes to ward off breakdowns--both mechanical and emotional) and remind yourself of how awesome you are! There are more fabulous prizes for those who want to donate more!

Check out our new and improved website for more info. www.aiaigasa.com

What are you donating for?

{A country-wide umbrella recycling program! We will be hosting an umbrella recycling drive
in every city and turning them into clothing, jewelry and art to sell along the way! We will be donating a portion of the proceeds in each city to their chapter of Make A Wish Foundation! Because we believe wishes come true!

{We will be converting the bus to SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil). 90% of our fuel intake will be recycled cooking oil from local restaurants. Eco-loveliness and egg rolls.

{We will be stopping in Louisiana on the way back to give a hand to Habitat for Humanity for one week (maybe more if we just can't leave). We won't be there until the end of September so we will send a shout out when it gets closer if you want to help out. Any additional support you want to give to them we will make sure to deliver with our own hands! They still need a lot of love!

Our projected departure date is August 15th. We promise to have a big party before we leave...and you are invited!

Big raindrops of love!
