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! Just wanted to post a quick update. Some of you have already received and answered your Backerkit surveys, thanks so much! As noted before, if you're on the Pay Over Time payment plan, you will not receive the survey until the payment plan is completed. For another campaign, I tried doing Google surveys but it was a bit much to organize so I'll only be sending/receiving the Backerkit surveys this time. Which means I won't have the final recorded information until around August to begin the bulk order for the clothing. The mini hats were completed and are on their way to be delivered to me. And I still should be able to start the order for the bags around June.

For some people, your payment plan did not got through so please make sure to check your pledge. Because of the rapidly changing situation regarding tariffs in the United States, I can't guarantee at this time if I will have extra inventory afterwards anymore so if you pledged, please make sure your payment information is updated if you'd still like to receive the pieces of this collection. I'll continue making updates as the situation changes.

If you have any questions, let me know, thanks!

Good morning! I wanted to announce that last night, the campaign has officially ended! We maintained our goal and that's all thanks to you guys!

It's really interesting seeing that there was about a 50/50 split between lolita and ouji for pledges, with ouji being just slightly more popular. That makes me super happy to witness, I'll definitely make more ouji in the future!

So what's next?

First, Backerkit will start charging your payment method. For people who did Pay Over Time, it'll be the first installment and then every month until July. Please make sure your payment information is up to date, if the payment doesn't process, your pledge will be cancelled and you won't be able to pick your colorway or size selection. Backerkit takes about 2 weeks of trying all the payment methods for the campaign funds and then will transfer the remainder to me after their fees & payment processing fees. After that happens, I can begin the survey process of recording everyone's options! I'll give more information on this at a later date.

Once more, thanks so much for supporting my first clothing collection! I'm so excited to bring these pieces to reality. If there's any questions, please feel free to reach out! Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm so happy to share that the crowdfund has reached its goal! The Carnival Puppet Clothing Collection will be made! Huge huge thank you to everyone who pledged or shared the campaign!

I started the idea for this collection around 2021 and received my first samples in 2022. Since then, it's been a roller coaster trying to continue working on it. I kept running into roadblocks and sometimes I wouldn't have enough money for new samples to make changes. I was started to worry it would never be possible once everything was settled and I got the final quotations together. So thank you so much for believing in my project and showing me that the time and effort was worth it. We still have a bit over a month left for the campaign but already, I'm excited to get going!

If you're interested in answering, I'm curious to know which colorway will be most popular! Let me know in the poll below. 

Once more, just thank you so much for the support. I hope these pieces will be something you're able to cherish for a long time. Thank you! :)
