Founder Letter 5 - Why Kimbo Uses Wire Baskets: A Philosophy of Value and Simplicity
Hi folks, today I want to talk about the wire baskets in a Kimbo and why we went with that decision. There’s a whole philosophy of thought behind it and I’ve been looking forward to sharing that.

These are stories that I’ve only shared with friends or people who ask; today I want to tell you how it all started. I had been working hard, just developing the beginning of my career, I was starting to feel the beginnings of burn out.
