Hi everyone,

Your surveys will be locking Saturday of this week. Please make sure you have finalized everything.

If you have any issues, you can email me at [email protected] or reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram via my name, Kaitlund Zupanic.  Currently, I am still not getting updates with comments on Backerkit.

Now to the sad news,

TARIFFS - especially with Enamel pins for local makers and small businesses.

All enamel pins are currently manufactured in China. There are no US-based enamel pin makers.

As it stands, a 104% tax is expected to be implemented by midnight tonight in the US, and it could be higher.

While I will not increase pricing for anyone who backed the campaign during crowdfunding/post campaign via the shop (Those prices were set), the price of all enamel pins will increase if the tariffs go into effect.

This means pins will increase on my website and via the store here on Backerkit. I imagine it will happen within the next month or two.

If you have an enamel pin of mine from this campaign or the Mythology set, I recommend picking it up soon. I will likely not order more for at least another year, possibly longer. 


Thank you for being patient as my small business navigates the nebulous and ever-increasing incoming tariffs. 

I couldn't do what I do without you, the supporters and patrons of my work and creations. Your assistance bringing these pins to life means more to me than you could ever know. 

I will continue to do what I can on the back end to keep pushing forward and delivering high-quality work products.
