we've still got quite a ways to go until the project is ready for any real teasers, but I wanted to get us started early!
ive gone ahead and paid for samples of some new designs with updated specs, as well as some new products entirely (!!!), so i'm super excited to show you guys once they arrive!
ive inquired with my manufacturer about the possibility of making a pocket insert for series 1 batpacks, and they said it should be possible, & theyll have a quote on how much those could cost individually soon! likewise with shorter straps as an option.
for additional nylex inserts, the minimum order quantity per color is 150. while id still love to offer them as an option, I might need to limit which colors are offered-- additional inserts would also come with a set of 3 locking pin backs, since quite a few people have mentioned to me that butterfly clasps sometimes don't fit securely through the nylex. locking pin backs (in packs of 3 or 5, not sure yet) will also be available as add-ons!
i'm also happy to share that white squirrel have agreed to work with us on fulfillment this time around as well! this is amazing news, since it means fulfillment can remain in the US, which means no surprise tariff fees for you guys 🫶
i wanted to remind you guys of the potential freebies can get this year by pledging to flying friends -- you can see all this info & more at the launch party page!
the better flying friends does as a campaign, the more experimenting & prototyping & planning in general we'll be able to afford for batpacks series 2! so if youre interested at all, please do check it out :)
that's all for now! you'll be getting another email from me tomorrow morning once pintopia launches, so keep an eye out! 🖤
