I've lowered the price of the next unlocks, even if I have to put money out of my pocket because of it, I want to be able to produce them so I've put in the minimum I need to be able to finance them all.
I hope we can get there, I'm trying to promote it on all the networks and groups I know :)

I have get up this morning with the news that two of the socks have been unlocked!
I will continue sharing this project so that we can unlock them all, but for now the "Guitar first man" and "Eggy minions" models will be done for sure, next is "The Tv King" *^* Thank you all for the support!

This morning I found out that a sock had been unlocked again!
"The TV KING" is now available thanks to your support ^-^
I hope we continue unlock at this good pace!

Hey all, just a quick reminder to please check the status of your pledge. A few pledges that were charged for payment by Backerkit did not successfully process. You must manually update your payment information and process the payment or your pledge will be cancelled. And I will not be accepting any additional pre-orders outside of the Backerkit survey due to the quantity of information I'll need to keep track of so please make sure to check your pledge processed successfully if you'd still like to receive the shoes. Thank you!

Hey all! So we made a big order with all those Wave 1 surveys, but only received half of it. We immediately shipped it out, so SOME of you will receive hoodies, soon. We're waiting on that second half to ship the rest, HOPEFULLY it comes this week and isn't lost in the shipping ether, we ship it out Monday, and everyone else will be getting their hoodies post holidays to avoid any stolen or lost hoodies. 

We do not have pins yet, so if you ordered pins with your hoodies, you will be receiving them separately in January or so. :) 

Thank you all so much!!

Wooo! We made it. 

 
Alright so; thanks so much for all of your patience, this took way longer than expected due to my father's new medical situation. (He turns 70 this week!) I spend a lot of time between here and there but - We finally worked out a schedule that I think is more accommodating while working on these projects :)

All orders are going out today! Please check your email for your tracking number, if it is not updated today, it should be within the next 2-3 days. I work with a local fulfillment center that helps me split shipments between USPS/ UPS and FEDEX and they have A LOT to get through for the holidays, so just give them a day or two to catch up!

There are roughly 6 of you who did not fill surveys, pay for shipping, etc....whatever the issue may be, I cannot ship your items until this is completed. If you want to receive your item(s) by Dec 25, please complete your survey and email me at [email protected] to let me know your survey has been completed. I am more than happy to send things out until I leave town the 18th but I am not back in office until the 30th of December.

Additionally, I will be tabling at Holiday Matsuri in Orlando, Florida this year the 20-22nd. I have been putting a lot of energy into preparing for this, and I will have several exclusive items available....If you will be at the convention, come say hi! 

Last but not least - thank you all so much for all of your kindness, patience, support and feedback. So many of you love these purses and I love seeing all of you wear and share them online! This has been an insanely rough year for me, but I know a lot of you as well, and my gratitude cup has never been fuller. 

Happy Holidays to everyone celebrating one this winter, and hope to see you all on the next campaign! 

P.S. For anyone who cares: our most ordered purse was the Stargazer(red purse), which was ordered almost 3x the amount that the Secretary (yellow purse)! 

Hello! The crowdfunding campaign for the shoes has officially ended! Designing and sampling these shoes was a long process so I’m really thankful to have so much support for my first design! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

Now that the campaign’s over, I want to explain a bit what to expect next. Over the next two weeks, Backerkit is going to begin the process of charging the cards for the pledges. If a pledge isn’t successfully paid for, Backerkit will email you with some reminders to fix your payment information until the cutoff date. If the payment is not successfully processed before the cutoff date, Backerkit will automatically cancel the pledge. Once a pledge is cancelled, you won’t be able to pay again so please make sure to pay attention to this if you’d still like to receive the shoes.

Shortly after cards are charged, Backerkit will begin sending the funds to me after taking their percentage of the payments. Then, I will be able to begin sending the survey regarding your shoe size and color selection. The survey will be sent to your email and you’ll just need to answer to make sure I have properly recorded your shoe size and color for the bulk order. At the time, if you want to order any additional pairs of shoes, you may do so. If you don’t answer the survey, your order will be cancelled so please make sure to answer as there will be a lot of shoes I need to organize and I cannot guess what extras will be needed due to non-reponses so unfortunately I’ll have to cancel outright. For those who did Pay Over Time, Backerkit will not let you receive the survey until the payment plan is finished. You can finish the payment plan earlier if you’d like but just note you cannot officially answer the Backerkit survey until then. Because of this I'll be contacting payment plans by email with a Google survey to record your shoe size and color choice separately. When the time comes, I’ll make Updates here regarding both surveys.

Once payments are processed, the funds have been sent to me, and the survey responses are all gathered, production will begin. The estimated delivery is August 2025 with factories in China being closed from January to February. There were more shoes pledged for than I initially anticipated so this might get delayed a little but hopefully not. I’ll be sure to post updates as this progresses.

Because the campaigns exceeded its goal, I’ll be able to do some upgrades on the shoes! I’m going to investigate making a more cushioned insole as well as more nicely branded boxes. I’m going to discuss the possibility of having more removable bows made in case people want to mix-and-match since this was requested before and was originally cost prohibitive. Please stay tuned for these developments as well.

Thank you SO much again for supporting this and just showing there’s still a lot of people passionate about this kind of shoe design existing. I really want to make some wonderful shoes for you guys so I will do my best! Thanks again! :)

Hi everyone! I am just realizing I was not putting monthly updates in the correct tab (oops) but wanted to hop on and give some final updates before the end of the year!  I want to thank each and every one of you for your patience this year! I've been so blessed by your support and kindness.

First note: I will be out of office Dec 18-30, but tabling at Holiday Matsuri in Orlando Florida Dec 20-22. If you are there, come say hi! We will have plenty of items, including many handmade and custom items I do not sell online. My website will be closed during this time as well, so any items from campaigns prior or that you would like before Dec 25 you must order soon! https://echonyx.com/

I've mentioned it a few times, but wanted to make sure everyone knows: this campaign has a slightly different timeline from our previous ones, since we had a lot of requests for a longer/full length version of the blacklight sweater. If you backed the campaign, this was available to you to order, but if you did not, we held an extended pre-order period for this sweater. Pre-Orders for this closed Dec 1, and all sweaters and purses will be entering production in January 2025. 

From there, production takes a few months and as soon as they arrive on our doorstep, we will mail them out to you all! I will continue to post updates monthly and as I have them.

For those of you who have backed our previous campaigns or supported the store, thank you so much! This has been an awesome, year. We just completed sending out all the items from our Bells and Whistles campaign, and I am so excited to have these sweaters and totes ready to go next year. 

Thank you all so much for an awesome year, and to anyone celebrating any upcoming holidays, I wish you nothing but the most incredible time! 

See you in 2025!
