Hello hello! I wanted to share that the bulk order for the shoes has been finished and they've all officially shipped to me. They're expected to arrive sometime in early-mid July. Once the shoes are here, I will begin calculating final shipping costs and then charging shipping and finalizing addresses.
Here's some final images of the shoes!

A reminder to PLEASE CHECK YOUR PLEDGE STATUS!
There are currently a few people who have not finished the survey or have an outstanding balance. You must resolve both of these issues before I can proceed with charging for shipping so please make sure to check.
That's it for this update! Looking forward to sharing more news in a month!
Hello! I wanted to share that fulfillment for this crowdfund has been completed! The last bags will be taken to the post office tomorrow and sent out to you! Please make sure to check your email for your tracking information. Once the bags arrived, please contact me if there was anything wrong as all packages have been insured. Thanks so much for supporting the campaign, I hope you'll like the bags and wristlets! :)
Hello hello, fulfillment of the socks are complete! Everyone should have received a tracking number in your email yesterday. All packages have been dropped off at the post office and will start being delivered this week. After you receive your package, please review your packing list and note if there was any issues with the delivery, all of the packages are insured so please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks so much again for supporting this campaign, I'm looking forward to seeing your outfits with the socks! :)
Hello! Wanted to share that I have bulk ordered the Carousel Bags! They will begin production shortly after I confirm the final leather colors. For the Pink x Sax and Sax x White colorways, I wasn't fully happy with the sax used in the sample because it doesn't match the sax fabric of the dress and ouji set close enough so we'll be doing some color swatches to get it closer. I'll update again here once that's decided!
Just a small reminder, the bulk order for the clothes won't be placed until all the payment plans have been completed as all surveys will only go out after that point. Once the payment plans are completed and surveys are answered, clothing will begin. This is estimated to be sometime in August. That's it for now, thanks!
Hello, wanted to pop in for a quick update! The shoes are still currently being worked on. My manufacturer sent me some progress pics so I wanted to share some of them here. They're still waiting for the wood to be completed by the wood mill for all the platforms and then final assembly will begin around the end of the month!
We've both been monitoring the tariff situation carefully to address sudden increased costs. These shoes are produced in China and began production before the US situation regarding tariffs had changed. I won't be able to get more information on what the new costs will be until the shoes are completed and the final weigh has been calculated but please be assured we're aware and discussing solutions. That's it for now, thanks!
Hi all! Happy to share that the Mini Carousel Hats have arrived to me safely in the US! As mentioned in the campaign, the final versions would be following the shape of the Black x White sample regarding the top shape and lace placement. Additionally, the bows around the center would be updated to be more refined. They were also made with the same final fabrics as the clothing for color matching. Here are some photos of the final versions!
I'm really happy with how they turned out! I don't think anyone pledged for just the hat so I'll be holding onto them for now instead of shipping them early but please know more mini hats are available if you'd like to add one to your pledge! That's it for now, thanks! :)
Hello everyone! Happy to announce that the bulk order has officially been placed so the shoes are now in production! Thanks so much to everyone for answering the surveys!
For Pay Over Time backers, your last payment should be charged sometime this week. After the final charge successfully goes through, you'll get access to the Backerkit survey. Your shoe & color selection will already be selected based on how you answered the Google survey.
For people who added any additional straps or pairs of shoes, your orders will also be charged this week so please be aware!
Some fun facts about the final inventory: Most popular colors were: Black, White, Wine, Red, and then Pink in that order. Most sizes (included Wide) were ordered between sizes 37 and 44. Orange & Yellow were not ordered at all so those were dropped.
Regarding bulk production, the shoe manufacturer needs to order the wood and then will begin working on the shoes. This should take around 40 days. Then the shoes will be shipped to me which may take another 30 days. So we'll be a bit ahead of schedule if everything goes that quickly. I'll make sure to post any developments that happen. That's all for now, thank you!
Hi everyone! I'm happy to share that fulfillment is complete! Every pledge should have received a tracking number or their package delivered already. If you did not receive a tracking number and are unsure why, please contact me asap. The only exceptions were anyone who requested that I hold onto their bags to ship with another pre-order they made.
Regarding additional B & C Grades from the first problematic production bulk, I need to finish reviewing my remaining new bulk inventory with my grading system. Then after I take standard stock photos, the extra inventory will be posted up on the webshop. This will hopefully be sometime late October/early November.
Once more, thank you so much for supporting this campaign! Please feel free to tag me on social media or to send any feedback my way. These are my brand's first leather bags so I'm definitely open to any thoughts, comments, or opinions you might have. If you're satisfied with your bag and looking to add another to your collection, I recently launched a campaign for a leather star shaped bag that can be seen here. I hope everyone receives their pledges safely and I really hope you all love your bags and wallets! Take care! :)
