Hi hi! Sorry for the late response, I try and post an update monthly - some of you may know from previous posts I've been living back and forth helping manage my father's end of life care, and have been spending much more time out of office due to this! My social media presence, all projects, etc have taken a backseat because of this, but always feel free to reach out [email protected] with any questions.

Now for the purses: The purses completed production in April and have been enroute to us since - just waiting on them to arrive, I imagine the ports are probably just backed up due to the big everything happening, but I expect them here soon, and as soon as they arrive they will be going out to you all.

 Shortly after, paying for the shipment of the purses, the tariffs were lessened. Soo....

For the Sweaters: The tariffs aren't entirely gone, so I am still working to fill in some of the gaps with cost for these. Again, it's hard knowing how to approach each month with how frequently things are changing, and I try to give some time between each major change to see what happens, because it feels like things change within a week lol.... Once they complete, I will just have to eat the cost of shipping them, I don't want to wait any longer, and don't want you all to either. With this, the sweaters are continuing production, hoping they will be complete by the end of July. 

Our totes have completed production and are on the way to us! As stated at the beginning of this money, all totes will be shipped out first. If you had tote(s) and sweater(s), you will receive seperate packages containing each.

I have been trying to wait things out before making a statement, as it's hard to come up with a plan as the situations are consistently changing by the day. But my policy is always transparency, so I will share with you all what the current plan is - please forgive me if the situation changes BEFORE we reach a conclusion.

It's no secret that my items (like most clothing) are made in China. A lot of crowdfunded items are, paper goods like board games, or other textiles like plushies. This is just the reality of manufacturing here. The tariff situation has changed almost daily - and as of writing this we are at 245%. Of course this is all unprecedented, and was not accounted for in the original crowdfunding budget.

So here is my current plan:

Purses
These are the closest to completing production. I am working with my manufacturer to see how much shipping will be, and within my capabilities, I will likely use the shipping funds collected and my own personal money saved/raised to bring the items over.

Sweaters
A group of my friends (I have recently dubbed Slay Team 6) has offered to help on rotation to make all these sweaters in house with me. Knowing this, I have begun sampling fabrics and options to have sweater fabric made onto. I will be making mockups, and posting updates here. I am monitoring this situation daily, and am hoping to be able to decide by May 1 if in-house production is the path we choose.

This will likely end up being entirely out of pocket, as the money for the sweaters has been used to start their factory production already. But I want to ensure first that everyone gets the products they paid for.
We have currently paused the factory. production on these, the amount of them needed to ship over would definitely just be something I cannot afford nor did I account for (who could've?!). 

Again, thank you for your patience, sorry for the delay on all of this, and I hope most of all, that all of you are safe and well.

Hello! Apologies for the late update posting here - This month I posted an infographic on instagram as our update! You can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGayRxfu4-7

As far as product updates go, things are still in production, currently it looks like the Purses will be the first to finish - as a thanks for your patience, I will be sending out all purses, even if you are waiting on a sweater! So you will receive 2 packages if you ordered both. The current timeline looks like purses will be completed around May, and we will have a similar timeline to the shipping of the Bells and Whistles campaign where totes completed first. 

The sweaters may complete shortly after the purses, and put us on a similar timeline as the first Tanjiro inspired line from 2022/2023. Either way, things are moving along as expected. 

Again, thank you all so much for your patience. I am in and out of office for the next few weeks to vend and work various shows. If you see me, say hello!! 


Echonyx will also be undergoing a small rebrand in the next few months, the name and products will remain the same/similar. But we will be having a new look to our tables and brand! 

Just wanted to give an update that I will be out of office from Feb 3-Feb 19, there will likely be no major updates during the month of February, but I will be sure to include any if necessary. 

Due to being out of office, I will also be pushing back the next Tote campaign into March!

 Please direct all inquiries to [email protected], and I am happy to get back to you ASAP.
