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.
