hey ya'll! 

i've been sitting on a production update post for a while now, since i'd wanted to update everyone both on sample production as well as the looming specter of tariffs in the same post, but i'm still not quite ready to settle on a tariff solution & i know people are eager for further updates, so! i've decided to split these into two posts: you'll be hearing about the situation regarding tariffs within the next week or so.

but, for now: production updates!

now, on the sample side of things, i've been sent photos of the screen print tests for our final four designs!

first up is cupid bat:

who came out exactly as i hoped she would!

next is vampire bat, everyone's favorite & the one that required the most work ahead of time, since my manufacturer needed to source a PU leather color that fit our specific needs.

BUT, i have GREAT news:

we found a perfect match! the vampire bat looks AMAZING, and i'm so excited to see it in person!

next up is the painted bat, who, much like cupid bat, turned out great with no real surprises!

lastly, we have the flying fox. while i really like the PU leather color we chose, the pantone color for his darker accents came out way more desaturated than i would have liked, so we're exploring some other options!

his darker accents are going to really pop, too!


i'm sure a lot of you are anxious about the tariff situation; trust me, so am i! but i've been hesitant to post about them so far due to the information and facts surrounding potential tariffs changing so rapidly in such a short period of time. i don't wanna freak anyone out, nor do i want to provide reassurance that i won't be able to follow through on once the situation changes for the billionth time :,) so, please have some patience with my while i explore all our potential options.

for now, i hope these sample updates are as exciting for you guys as they were for me!! as always, feel free to reach out here or through my email if you ever have any questions or concerns. appreciate ya'll as always 🖤
