Project Update: Next Round of Hoodies Ordered!

/Hey all! Ordered the next round of hoodies after shipping off a TON of them. If you haven't gotten yours or received shipping notification, you're likely in this round! We have to do it in probably three rounds total because of the way we have to keep track of sizes and designs and the print on demand factor. :D

While we wait on those to arrive - we have EIGHT prototype hoodies we're looking to offload at a discount if any of you are interested - they are brand new, just not in the shrink wrap.

SOLD - Weather Witch | L - $50 (slightly different design) - SOLD
SOLD - One Eye | XL  - $50 (slightly different design) - SOLD
Monster | L - $40 (colors printed weird and it's two different shades of blue)
Rook | L  - $50 (slightly different design)
SOLD - Spicy Fire Nugget | M - $40 (prototype had flames on the cuffs and they printed one cuff with flames and one without, this is why we removed the flames entirely) - SOLD
Shapeshifter/Badger | S  - $50 (slightly different design)
Fainty Telepath | L  - $50 (slightly different design)
Southern Sugah | S  - $50 (slightly different design)

We will add on $10 to ship to the US and $20 to ship internationally.

If you are interested in ordering any of the above, please email us at [email protected] with your name, address, which hoodie(s) you want, and we'll send an invoice back and get it shipped out! First come, first served. :D 

Photos below! :D

I ordered and received my two oversized hoodies, pins and stickers but there's been no news about the kickstarter follow up. Any word on when those hoodies are going out?

Hi Laurie and team! Can I ask when you expect to send the international shipments? I don’t know if I’m the only non-US contributor but I’m really eager to get my hands on those hoodies!! 🙏

Just got home in some record heat to find my first two hoodies and my pins waiting for me! This is awesome and I'm very happy I signed up to back this project. Just waiting on the one from kickstarter and I'll be the happiest mutant in the whole school

My box got here today! My hoodies fit perfectly. I love the material. And the pins are stunning 😍. This was definitely the best crowd funding project I've ever backed.

The Cleo/Purple totes have officially completed production and are on their way to us! We hope to begin mailing them out to all of you by the end of July. If you *only* ordered a tote, you will likely be one of the first to receive your order. 

The Isabelle and Celeste purses are still being completed! They are much more complex and take more time to complete. We hope to have these completed with production by the fall! 

Thank you for your patience and support! 
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to shipping day!

Project Update: Bulk Review & Remakes

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I have some sad news to share. I have received the bulk order of everything and after reviewing and inspecting everything, I encountered some problems. On the way to me, a large amount of the heart bags were damaged during shipment. I tried repairing some of them but there were many I could not fix or repair. Damages included heavy bending of the leather and major denting. There was also some issues with the metal diamond shaped nails used on the handles. The supplier that provides these pieces to my manufacturer sent them a low quality batch so the pieces have experienced rapid tarnishing and/or bubbling in the surfaces. Naturally tarnishing is expected over time but not before use and they're a noticeable lower quality than the ones the supplier had provided for the sample heart bag. So my manufacturer and I will be custom molding and making our own diamond metal pieces of a higher quality for the new bags.

Damaged bag

Sample vs Bulk; Diamond nails in the handles have already tarnished in the bulk vs the sample where there is no tarnish despite use


Additionally, the heart straps were accidentally assembled with the wrong thickness of leather, making them thinner than intended. Normally, this could be okay but because the strap is meant to be a coin purse and also has a zipper, the thicker leather is necessary to avoid heavy internal imprinting in the leather.

Sample vs Bulk; Bulk has noticeably thinner leather


Unfortunately, this means the bulk of the heart bags & heart straps need to be remade so shipment will be pushed around another 2 to 3 months. But now that I have the completed bulk, I can begin to calculate accurate shipment quotes so I'll be doing that over the next few weeks to give shipping costs and update the Backerkit surveys. The current problem bulk will be sold in the future as B Grades & C Grades at a lower price point but only after the new bulk is completed and shipped out to backers.

In good news, the wallets came out mostly perfect. The colors are nice and appealing and the wallet quality is very durable. There's a new cotton lining inside to match the bags as well. There is one small flaw with the lining however. During the production, the brand labels were sewn in the wrong location for heart straps in a way where the label was peaking through the leather. They were moved to the correct location but instead of throwing away and wasting the lining, my manufacturer decided to recycle it for the wallets. This resulted in the wallets having some stitching holes in one of the pockets of the wallet. I'm not super happy with this problem but I understand why it happened and would rather them save the material instead of throwing it away over a small mistake. Additionally, it's in a location that cannot be seen so I think it would be wasteful to remake all the wallets. I have attempted to reduce the appearance of the holes as well. However, I know this might be disappointing for some people who are expecting a 100% perfect product so if you ordered the wallet and will be unhappy with this flaw, please contact me so we can arrange for an exchange for a heart strap or a refund. It is not possible for me to charge shipping only for the wallet orders so they'll be held until the other products are remade.

I'm so sorry if this has disappointed anyone. It's the unfortunate reality of manufacturing sometimes. Small things can happen that can completely affect everything and even when the product is complete, it can be damaged later. We will be remaking these and making sure to include heavier packaging material to protect everything during shipment to me. Instead of an earlier shipping date, it looks like we'll be reaching the original estimated September timeline from the campaign. I'll be sure to give new updates as the new production is made. Thank you for your trust and patience.

Project Update: Pins Received! Small hiccup.

Hey all!! WE GOT THE PINS!! THEY LOOK AMAZING. Most of the rest of the orders will be going out in the next few weeks! Stay tuned!



One small issue: on the campaign we promised a SPICY FIRE NUGGET pin, but somehow in the chaos of everything that happened, we had REGULAR NUGGET pins printed instead.

We have put aside all SPICY FIRE NUGGET PIN orders to give you guys a choice:

1) Receive a REGULAR NUGGET pin
2) Receive a refund
3) Receive another pin instead

We'll give you until July 10th at midnight to EMAIL us at [email protected] and let us know what you want to do - if you do NOT respond by that time we will send you a REGULAR NUGGET pin, featured below:

Thank you guys!!!
