Hello, just wanted to pop in for an update! The last payment plans should have been completed recently, please make sure to check your pledge status! For pledges that have not made any payments at all for the payment plan, I have cancelled those pledges so you'll need to contact me again if you'd like to rejoin the bulk order pre-order. With the remaining payment plans complete, the rest of the pledges should have begun to receive the survey. Pleas make sure to fill out survey as soon as possible so I can know how many of each size and color to order for the bulk order. I will be locking orders August 1, after this date, if you have not completed your payment plan or finished your survey, you'll have to pick from the remaining inventory that gets ordered to fulfill your pledge. Once the orders are locked, I'll place the bulk order for the clothes and begin the final process for this campaign.
The bags have begun bulk production! My manufacturer sent me some photos of how the patterns will be arranged to confirm the placement and color. Looking forward to sharing more when they're done.

That's it for now, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, thanks!
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!
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! I wanted to share a quick update. I received the color swatches from my manufacturer regarding the new sax to pick for the Carousel Bags!
We're trying to best match the blue color of the pastel clothing set but we're a bit limited by what colors we're able to get closely painted by the leather supplier. They sent me 2 options based off the Pantones I sent for the closest colors they're able to paint as I felt the sample's and the Stardom Star Bag's sax colors were not the best match.
I am leaning heavily towards #3, I still feel like #4 is a bit too "green" tone in comparison to the fabric but #3 is a bit "darker," I think this is more obvious when side-by-side with the pink leather.
I'm personally okay with this but I just wanted to make sure I shared this with you guys before I finalized the color to make sure everyone's aware of the direction the final bags will go in. If you don't like #3 and picked the Pink x Sax or Sax x White colorway of the bag, please let me know if you'll be dissatisfied with this color.
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.
